TUKURAN, Zamboanga del Sur, Oct. 11 (PIA) – After the first set of livelihood starter kits was given recently to 18 parolees and probationers, the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE)-Zamboanga del Sur has pledged to give additional starter kits to other parolees in the province.
DOLE-Zamboanga del Sur chief Lourdes B. Amores bared in an interview with the local press that her office is considering the request of the provincial office of the Parole and Probation Administration (PPA) for additional livelihood starter kits for its clients.
In support of President Benigno S. Aquino III’s social contract to help alleviate the plight of the marginalized sector, the PPA is tapping the support of the different national line agencies and local government units to assist the parolees and probationers in their livelihood activities.
The starter kits given to 18 parolees include mango sprayer, plow, welding machine, fishnet and others all costing P120 thousand.
Amores told the recipients to “make use of their starter kits for their living” adding that the DOLE would take these back if they are not using them.
She also warned them not to sell the starter kits because these are given as government’s livelihood assistance to them.
Before they received their starter kits, the parolees/probationers underwent entrepreneurship development training to equip them with the needed skills and knowledge in pursuing their livelihood activities.
The first batch of parolees to receive DOLE’s livelihood starter kits came from the municipalities of Tukuran, Pitogo, Tabina, Dumalinao, Tigbao and Guipos.
Aside from Ms. Amores, PPA Regional Director Tarcisia A. Tampos, PPA-Zamboanga del Sur chief Nicasio Dujali and Tukuran Mayor Francisvic Villamero were also present in the distribution of the starter kits to the beneficiaries at the LGU Beach Resort in this town.
