TACLOBAN CITY, Dec. 27 (PNA) – The Department of
Trade and Industry (DTI) is setting aside PHP4.4 million for livelihood support
to families moved to the city’s northern resettlement sites.
The assistance is listed as one of the DTI’s bottom
up budgeting project for the city, said Faustino Gayas, Jr., DTI-Leyte chief of
business development commission.
About half of the budget will finance the
establishment of as search service facility meant to enhance food processing in
relocation areas.
The facility will support local delicacies
production, sewing jobs, car wash services and other in demand products and
services.
“The remaining PHP2.4 million will then be allotted
to our Yaman Pinoy project, which will focus also in enhancing the food
processing, packaging and labeling,” Gayas added.
Yaman Pinoy is the trade department’s skills
enhancement program for the jobless. For this city, specific activities are
livelihood and entrepreneurial development trainings and provision of
livelihood kits.
“These kits will be emanated from the business
plans that they will make. We don’t know yet as to how many because the
beneficiaries who will enrol, will be the one to determine it,” Gayas said.
The project will be carried out next year to
support the Tacloban north integrated development plan. (PNA)
