Fernandez thanked DOLE for extending the livelihood assistance to small fishermen in the island barangays whose source of income comes mainly from fishing.

DOLE also provided 60 negokarts to the city’s street vendors under its Negosyo sa Kariton project.

Only recently, a mega job fair was again conducted in the city.

Ursua said DOLE will continue to deliver more projects to benefit more Dagupeños especially the indigents. (CIO-L.C.Aquino)
