TAGAYTAY CITY, CAVITE — The Tagaytay CT Velodrome was buzzing with energy last September 14, 2026, for the Handog ng Pangulo 2026: Serbisyong Sapat Para sa Lahat, a nationwide initiative that brought critical government services, livelihood programs, and employment opportunities straight to the heart of Tagaytay. The event, graced by DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino, Provincial Director Marivic B. Martinez, and dedicated local leaders, demonstrated the government's commitment to making public service accessible to all.
Trabaho Agad Job Fair: Thousands of Job Opportunities
The Trabaho Agad Job Fair was a centerpiece of the event, with 48 companies opening up thousands of job opportunities for eager applicants. The job fair connected jobseekers directly with employers, offering on-the-spot hiring for qualified candidates. This initiative aligns with the nationwide Trabaho Agad program, which has been instrumental in helping Filipinos secure gainful employment through job fairs held across the country. The Tagaytay leg provided a vital platform for residents to explore career opportunities without traveling to Metro Manila, reducing both time and financial barriers to employment.
KADIWA ng Pangulo and Frontline Services
The KADIWA ng Pangulo component allowed residents to score affordable local products while supporting hardworking farmers and MSMEs. This program, a flagship initiative of the Marcos administration, brings agricultural products directly to consumers at lower prices, benefiting both producers and buyers. Meanwhile, National Government Agencies were on the ground to provide hassle-free government assistance, offering services such as documentation processing, clearance applications, and social welfare assistance. The event also featured the nationwide rollout of the PHP61.17 billion DOLE budget for 2026, which includes programs like TUPAD, the Government Internship Program, and the DOLE Integrated Livelihood Program.
A Unified Push for Public Service Accessibility
The Handog ng Pangulo 2026 reflects the government's whole-of-nation approach to delivering services efficiently and equitably. By bringing together employment opportunities, livelihood programs, and frontline government services in one venue, the event maximized impact and minimized inconvenience for attendees. The presence of DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino and Provincial Director Marivic B. Martinez underscored the national government's commitment to supporting local communities. Cheers to continuous growth, jobs, and progress for every Batang Tagaytay! Tag someone who needs to see this!
