CATARMAN, Northern Samar, Dec. 21 (PIA) -- Twenty-two (22) Former Rebels (FRs) have availed of the Pangkabuhayan showcase from the Department of Trade and Industry under the Pangkabuhayan sa Pagbangon at Ginhawa program.
“This is a livelihood and entrepreneurship program of DTI given to entrepreneurs affected by conflicts, calamities and or pandemic,” said DTI provincial director, Ms. Mimosa Regis.
“Our mandate is to develop micro, small enterprises, the package is just a small thing but this is a grant, you have the obligation to pay for it, Regis informed the FRs.
The funds, according to her, come from the office of Senator Bong Go coursed through DTI to be given to those interested to start a small business.
Speaking before the rebel returnees, Board Member Florencio “Fawa” Batula, representing Governor Edwin Ongchuan said, "the government tries its best to produce life winners, and you are our winners, hopefully, we can still encourage other rebels to come down to have a meaningful life as the government is serious in reaching out and providing services through various agencies. We don’t expect anything in return, what we only ask is your support.”
Aside from the pangkabuhayan showcase, Governor Edwin Ongchuan also gave Noche Buena packs with ham to the 22 FRs and their families. (PIA-N. Samar)
