Posted to Kalinaw News (Dec 9, 2021): DTI, Army conduct Livelihood Seminar for FRs, CAAs and Women’s Sector in Nueva Ecija
FORT MAGSAYSAY, Nueva Ecija – In a bid to give additional livelihood skills and increase the source of income of Former Rebels, CAFGU Active Auxiliary (CAA), and from a Women’s Sector, the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Nueva Ecija in collaboration with 84th Infantry (VICTORIOUS) Battalion, Philippine Army conducted a livelihood seminar at 84IB Headquarters, Brgy. Sto Nino 2nd, San Jose City, Nueva Ecija on December 8, 2021.
The livelihood seminar is part of the Negosyo Serbisyo Sa Barangay (LSP-NSB) program of DTI that allows a wider reach of business development assistance. Said program aims to support the government’s Enhanced Comprehensive Local Integration Program (E-CLIP) for the Former Rebels (FRs).
The making of All-Purpose liquid detergent, handwash, and alcohol were among the skills the 29 participants ( 12 FRs, 5 CAAs, 9 Women) learned during the livelihood seminar.
DTI San Jose City Senior Training Specialist, Marilou Santos said, “Ang pagsasanay na ito ay patungkol sa entrepreneurship kung saan binibigyan natin ng sapat na kaalaman kung paanu magsimula ng negosyo kasama din po dito ang paghahanda at pagpaplano”.
One of the FRs expressed his gratitude for the government’s initiative. “Kami ay lubos na nagpapasalamat sa walang humpay na tulong ng DTI at 84IB sa pamamagitan ng pagbibigay ng mga kalaaman para sa dagdag na pangkabuhayan at pagkakakitaan lalo na sa panahong ating nararanasan ngayon”.
Meanwhile, the Commander of the 7th Infantry (KAUGNAY) Division, Philippine Army Brigadier General Andrew D. Costelo PA lauded the continued collaboration of the stakeholders with the Army by assisting the FRs through this kind of initiative that is necessary for their reintegration process into mainstream society. These efforts are the realization of the Chinese proverb and an oft-quoted saying, “Give a man a fish, and he will be hungry again tomorrow; teach him to catch a fish, and he will be richer all his life.
“This is the result of our strong collaboration with the LGU and NGAs, and we are happy for the full cooperation of our FRs,” said BGen Costelo.
