Pamplona extends livelihood programs for women amid pandemic

DUMAGUETE CITY, Negros Oriental, Sept. 6 (PIA) -- The municipal government of Pamplona has extended livelihood interventions to its women’s federation group to help augment their livelihood amid the pandemic.

Pamplona Mayor Janice Degamo shared this during her Network Briefing News interview with Presidential Communications Operations Office Sec. Martin Andanar over Radyo Pilipinas on Sept. 6. 

Degamo said the municipal government in partnership with the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) through its KALAHI-CIDSS Program turned over a building to the women’s federation where they can cook and sell the delicacies of their town.

The municipal government also embarked on skills retooling training and seminars to capacitate the women’s federation  members on various means of livelihood.

“They will attend, they will learn and they get to bring home not just the knowledge but the start-up capital. (We) give the person the opportunity to learn a skill and give a capital para ma-try ang skill niya (so they can try their skill),” Degamo said.

Some of the trainings initiated by the municipal government focused on food production with snack-making and Arriba Kusina Academy 2.0, rag-making, and agriculture as 80% of residents in the town are dependent on agriculture as their main source of income.

Degamo said they also distributed piglets with feeds in partnership with the Provincial Government of Negros Oriental and tilapia fingerlings with feeds in partnership with the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources as start-up kits for the women in their town.

“Ngayon na we are in this pandemic, nakikita namin (na) dapat may pantawid gutom solution doon sa mga umaakyat sa opisina namin (at) humihingi ng work so that somehow they can bring food to the family (Now that we are in this pandemic, we are looking into ways to somehow help those people coming to our office asking for work so they can bring food to their families),” Degamo said.
