Alaminos City’s vendors get P1.2-M livelihood aide
THE regional office of the Department of Labor and Employment distributed P1.2 million in total livelihood assistance to 110 ambulant and market vendors in Alaminos City.
Regional Director Henry John Jalbuena turned over the equipment and carts to Mayor Arthur Celeste for 40 ambulant vendors, Alaminos Suki Market Vendors Association, Alaminos Vendors Multi-Purpose Cooperative and Alaminos Nepo Market Tenants Association under the labor agency’s Negosyo sa Kariton (Negokart) and Bottom-up Budgeting (BUB), respectively.
Vendors received enhanced vending carts, tools, jigs and raw materials while the 70 members of the three associations received vacuum sealer machines, freezer, smoking machine, industrial stove, pressure cooker, coconut presser, hand sealer, weighing scale and canning machine for their bangus products.
The beneficiaries will also be trained on basic entrepreneurship, values formation, basic accounting and bookkeeping, organizational development, food handling, sanitation and project orientation.
“Through these interventions, we want to upgrade the products and services of the beneficiaries to increase their income and eventually transform them into entrepreneurs who can be our partners in employment generation and in achieving rural development,” Jalbuena said. (PIA-Pangasinan)
