TUGUEGARAO CITY, Feb. 11 (PIA) -- The Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) 2 aims to implement eight Community Enterprise Projects (CEP) this year in the provinces of Cagayan, Isabela, Nueva Vizcaya and Quirino. | |||
DOLE 2 director Atty. Sixto T. Rodriquez Jr. said that under the program, P500,000 will be provided by the labor department to each of the projects to be determined by the different field offices. | |||
Director Rodriguez said the fund that comes from the DOLE will be used to enhance the existing business of the proponent-association in a community. | |||
“This initiative of the DOLE is done with partner agencies like local government units, Department of Science and Technology, Department of Trade and Industry, Department of Agriculture and Technical Education and Skills Development Authority,” Rodriguez further said. | |||
Last year, the department had funded three projects in the provinces Cagayan, Isabela and Quirino such as the coconut processing in Sanchez Mira, Cagayan, mongo processing in San Mateo, Isabela and banana chips processing in the province of Quirino. | |||
“There were also pending projects for Solano, Nueva Vizcaya for its Bio- Organic Fertilizer Production and Lallo, Cagayan for Lubeg Wine Production. These, however, are assured to be implemented this year as included from the target number of projects,” Rodriguez assured. | |||
CEP aims to transform community livelihoods into sustainable business. It was conceptualized to help disadvantaged and vulnerable workers who have inadequate income, limited access to productive resources and no social securities in a community. (TCB/RBE/IS/PIA 2) | |||
