MACONACON, ISABELA- The Department of Labor and Employment and various local government units had employed Aeta students through the Special Program for the Employment of Students (SPES). | |||
Maconacon mayor Erlinda Domingo pledged 120 slots for Aeta students in the municipality for the SPES this year. | |||
Divilacan town is adopting the SPES for the first time as mayor Ventorito Bulan pledged 10 slots. | |||
Maconacon has allocated P288,000 for payment of the 60 percent share of the local government for the salaries and wages of the beneficiaries while Divilacan has earmarked P24,000. | |||
Atty. Sixto T. Rodriguez, regional director of the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) region 2 urged local chief executives of Maconacon and Divilacan to give due preference to Aeta students as beneficiaries of the SPES program. | |||
Rodriguez also urged local chief executives to increase their SPES targets in the next round of implementation in order to expand their coverage for disadvantaged students. | |||
Aeta settlers in Divilacan and Maconacon are among the more depressed and neglected tribal groups according to local chief executives. About 600 Aetas are struggling due to lack of education, skills, and livelihood. | |||
Rodriguez said the regional office already committed increased target beneficiaries and budget allotment of P16.9 million for the wages of 10,000 students throughout the region for the SPES from January to December 2012. | |||
The program encourages the employment of poor but deserving students during the summer and/or Christmas vacations, through incentives granted to employers, allowing them to pay only 60 percent of their salaries or wages. The other 40 percent is paid through education vouchers issued by the DOLE. | |||
Beneficiaries are taught the value of work through their employment in various works such as clerical/administrative aides/assistants/office helpers, field workers, data encoders, sales associates, enumerators, street sweepers and service crews and in the greening program of the national government. | |||
