NextGen Day News Stories

The Kadiwa ng Pangulo Para sa Manggagawa Program has given a market connection to government-supported farmers’ organizations and micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs). At the same time, consumers have benefited from goods offered at fair rates.

At the 121st Labor Day celebration held at Robinsons Place in Iloilo on Monday, 30 participants, including five livelihood projects supported by the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE), 11 agricultural cooperatives supported by the Department of Agriculture (DA), and 14 MSMEs supported by the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), displayed their goods.

Attorney Sixto Rodriguez, the DOLE regional director for Western Visayas, stated that the Labor Day holiday is about more than simply what the government can do for the populace. It is also about how workers, particularly the most disadvantaged, can support one another.

“For this reason, we applaud the Kadiwa ng Pangulo Program, which aims to assist our MSMEs, farmers, and other sector facing the most difficulties. In his address during the inauguration event, he stated that through Kadiwa, “we can help our farmers sell their food at a fair price, promote our MSMEs by connecting them to broader markets, and help our disadvantaged sectors by supplying them with critical goods and services.

The Kadiwa was held concurrently with a jobs fair where 4,651 positions were made available in collaboration with 71 local enterprises, foreign employment agencies, and business process outsourcing companies.

Every year, we have a job fair to unite candidates for employment and potential employers in a setting like this, Rodriguez continued.

More or less, PHP13.65 million worth of checks and other materials were also made available by DOLE for eight livelihood initiatives that will help 728 workers from Guimaras and Iloilo.

Under the entrepreneur program for 180 beneficiaries, the Iloilo City Alliance Operators and Drivers Transport Cooperative (ICAODTC) received supplies worth PHP5.7 million for their various livelihood projects.

93 Indigenous Peoples and the parents of child laborers from Barangay Panuran in the municipality of Lambunao received a PHP2.325 million check during the celebration for their livelihood initiatives.

Other recipients of project funding included the Integrated Kabuhay Project for 116 farmers and fishermen in the Guimaras municipality of Jordan, which received a PHP1.2 million check; the rice retailing project for the rank-and-file employees of the Iloilo Mission Hospital Employees Labor Union/Federation of Free Workers, which received PHP998,788; and the mushroom production and processing project for the underprivileged sectors of the Dumangas-Barotac Nuevo Mushroom Growers and Process.
