In line with the Secretary Francisco Tolentino’s directives underscoring DOLE’s commitment to giving Filipino workers the capacity to “stand on their own and move from assistance to sustainable livelihood, employment and productivity, the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE)-Cordillera Administrative Region, through the DOLE-Abra Field Office, conducted the check awarding for Tagnawa Di Licuan Association, Inc. of Poblacion, Licuan-Baay, Abra, under the DOLE Integrated Livelihood Program (DILP), amounting to ₱496,900.00 from the Sin Tax Fund for its Farm Mechanization and Rental Services Project.
In his message, Hon. Mayor Darwin L. Domingo expressed his appreciation for the livelihood assistance, emphasizing its potential to improve the lives and livelihood opportunities of his constituents.
Meanwhile, Mr. Christopher B. Tugadi, Head of the DOLE-Abra Field Office, underscored the vital role of the Local Government Unit of Licuan-Baay in making livelihood initiatives possible. He emphasized that strong collaboration and support from local government partners are essential in bringing meaningful and sustainable livelihood opportunities to communities.
Words of gratitude were likewise shared by the Municipal PESO Manager, Municipal Agriculturist and the Association President, recognizing the value of this assistance in strengthening local agricultural activities and creating opportunities for the association and its members.
Through the DOLE Integrated Livelihood Program, DOLE continues to support community-based enterprises, promote productive livelihood opportunities, and help improve the economic well-being of Filipino workers and their families.
Together, through strong partnerships and shared commitment, we cultivate not only the land but also opportunities for a more sustainable future.
