Provincial Government Leads Assistance Turnover
Governor Aris Aumentado led the turnover of financial assistance at the Provincial Capitol Lobby, joined by Dino Irig, Senior Labor and Employment Officer and DOLE TUPAD focal person, and Ma. Vilma Yorong, head of the Bohol Employment and Placement Office – Public Employment Service Office (BEPO-PESO). Their participation highlights the coordination between the provincial government and DOLE in delivering employment assistance to qualified workers in the province.
Livelihood Programs Help Strengthen Local Communities
Programs such as TUPAD provide short-term employment opportunities and income support for disadvantaged and displaced workers. For tourism communities like Panglao and Dauis, assistance can help workers manage household expenses while maintaining their connection to the local economy. Continued coordination among government agencies and employment offices also helps bring livelihood programs closer to residents who need them.
