Good news for the beneficiaries of the government’s Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) as the Department of Social Welfare and Development and the Department of Public Works and Highways will be launching on Monday (September 5), a program aimed to provide them with guaranteed employment.
Presidential Deputy Spokesperson Abigail Valte said that the launching of the program, dubbed as “Trabahong Lansangan ng Programang Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino,” will be held at Barangay 649, District 5, Baseco Compound Covered Court, in Tondo, Manila.
Through this joint project of the DSWD and the DPWH, according to Valte, the beneficiaries of the 4Ps, popularly known as Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT) program, will be given guaranteed employment.
“Ito po ay isang five-year program na ang tina-target po ay magbigay ng employment sa mga beneficiaries ng ating CCT program,” Valte said during an interview over government-run station, dzRB.
“So iyong mga benepisyaryo natin, apart from the stipend, mabibigyan sila ng livelihood. At least natutulungan natin silang maiahon iyong kanilang estado sa buhay sa pagbibigay po sa kanila ng trabaho,” she added.
Social Welfare and Development Secretary Corazon Soliman and Public Works and Highways Secretary Rogelio Singson will sign a memorandum of understanding (MOU) during the launching of the program.
The MOU provides that the DPWH will employ CCT beneficiaries for its unskilled labor needs from this year until 2016. The beneficiaries will be employed for landslide maintenance, road maintenance, declogging of drainage laterals, and street sweeping.
For this year, some 2,155 CCT households will be hired under the joint project with about 400 beneficiaries will be hired by DPWH-NCR. Besides signing of the agreement, the two newly organized Self Employment Assistance–Kaunlaran (SEA-K) associations in Tondo will likewise receive livelihood capital assistance.(PCOO)
