The 213 beneficiaries each received P21,000 as livelihood starter kits.
DOLE Region 7 allocated a budget of P4.7 million for the program which is meant to reduce child labor in the city.
Parents of the profiled child laborers in Carcar are now into various livelihood projects such as swine fattening, fishing materials trading, sewing services, goat raising, general merchandising, “bigasan” (rice store), cattle fattening, and agricultural and veterinary supply trading.
“In the middle of January 2021, the supplies, goods, jigs, and materials that beneficiaries will need in their businesses have been procured and released. And we hope that by providing this kind of assistance to them, the incidence of child labor in Cebu and in Region 7 generally, will be significantly diminished if not totally eliminated,” said Vivencio Lagahid, officer-in-charge of the DOLE Cebu Provincial Field Office.
