SOME 12 fully-vaccinated workers in Bataan province have received brand new bicycles and livelihood from the government.
The program is in line with the BikeCination, a special project of the Department of Labor and Employment (Dole) Integrated Livelihood Program (DILP) and National Employment Recovery Strategy.
Bataan Governor Albert Garcia said the beneficiaries, who are from the informal sector, came from the capital city of Balanga and other 11 towns in the province.
"Labingdalawang benepisyaryo mula sa 11 munisipalidad at Lungsod ng Balanga ang nakatanggap ng bisikleta at pangkabuhayan tulad ng mga cosmetic products, pangbentang gulay, prutas at isda sa ilalim ng BikeCination," the governor said.
"Ito ay isang espesyal na proyekto sa ilalim ng Dole DILP at National Employment Recovery Strategy na naglalayong magbigay ng mga bisikleta at pangkabuhayan sa mga kuwalipikadong fully-vaccinated na mga kababayan nating manggagawa mula sa informal sector," Garcia added.
Meanwhile, some 168 beneficiaries had completed their six-month internship under the Government Internship Program, according to the governor.
"Ang programang ito ay naglalayong magbigay ng oportunidad sa mga kabataang naghahanap ng trabaho at mahasa ang kakayahan sa pagbibigay ng serbisyong pampubliko," Garcia said.
The official assured his constituents that his office is continously coordinating with DOLE at National Government to help Bataan workers.
