WOMEN, FARMERS IN CEBU RECEIVE LIVELIHOOD AID

MORE than a hundred women and farmers in Tuburan, Cebu on Thursday received vital livelihood assistance from the offices of Senators Alan Peter Cayetano and Pia Cayetano, in partnership with the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), through its Sustainable Livelihood Program (SLP).

The one-day program was successfully conducted with the support and efforts of Tuburan Mayor Democrito Diamante, Vice Mayor Danilo Diamante, Social Welfare Committee member Eugenio M. Arigo, and DSWD Field Office VII Assistant Regional Director for Operations Juanito C. Cantero.

Women and farmers in Tuburan were the primary beneficiaries of the livelihood program, highlighting Sen. Alan’s commitment to expanding the livelihood opportunities for all Filipinos and ensuring that “no sector is left behind.”

The senator has maintained that the agriculture sector is among the most vulnerable and requires urgent attention.

This initiative was not the first time the Cayetanos provided province-wide assistance in Cebu. In 2023, more than 200 persons with disabilities (PWDs) and sari-sari store owners also received livelihood aid.

The program has emphasized the importance of direct aid to help marginalized groups in the country, not only assisting them in boosting their income but also for the benefit of the entire Philippine economy.
