That hope became a reality last December 2025, when the Office of the Deputy Minister-Ministry of Labor and Employment (MOLE–BARMM) and the Department of Labor and Employment Region XII partnered to hold a turnover ceremony of 50 Bangsamoro Associations and 43 individuals.

Each association received a livelihood starter kit worth ₱200,000 while individual beneficiaries received ₱30,000 under the DOLE Integrated Livelihood Program (DILP).

These are not just starter kits - they are tools for parents dreaming of a stable income, for associations working hand in hand, and for communities choosing progress through hard work and unity. Every kit carries a story of resilience, cooperation, and the belief that when people are given the right support, they can transform their future.

This partnership reflects a shared vision of uplifting marginalized sectors through meaningful interventions that promote productivity, social inclusion, and economic stability. By investing in the capacity of Bangsamoro associations, the DOLE and MOLE continue to support peace-building efforts and improve the quality of life of Bangsamoro Communities.

Let us support and celebrate initiatives that empower communities and create lasting impact. Share this story of hope and be part of the movement toward inclusive growth and lasting peace in the Bangsamoro.
