For Cherry Ann and 97 other DILP beneficiaries in Tarragona, the livelihood starter kits meant a chance at a more sustainable future. They meant that even small dreams deserved an opportunity—and that every opportunity counts.

𝐈𝐍𝐒𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓𝐒 𝐒𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐄𝐃 | “Dako kaayo akong pasalamat sa DOLE sa tabang nga ilang gihatag nga mahimong puhunan para sa akong panginabuhi. Dako kini nga oportunidad para mapadayon ug mapalambo nako ang akong negosyo, ug makatabang usab sa panginahanglan sa akong pamilya (I am very grateful to DOLE for the assistance they provided, which will serve as capital for my livelihood. This is a great opportunity for me to sustain and improve my business while also helping provide for my family’s needs),” said Cherry Ann Palmera, one of the DILP beneficiaries of DOLE XI Davao Oriental Field Office.

The Office turned over Php1.47 million worth of livelihood starter kits to 98 individual beneficiaries under the DOLE Integrated Livelihood Program (DILP) on September 28, 2026, at Central, Tarragona, Davao Oriental.

The beneficiaries, composed of individuals engaged in vending and sari-sari store enterprises, received livelihood assistance intended to provide additional capital and resources for the establishment and strengthening of their small businesses.

Under the leadership of DOLE Secretary Francis N. Tolentino, DOLE continues to emphasize the importance of moving beyond immediate assistance by helping workers transition toward more sustainable sources of income and entrepreneurship. The Department has highlighted the need for livelihood interventions to provide workers with the means to build and sustain their own enterprises.

Sa pamamagitan ng WODP, hindi lang kabuhayan ang napapalakas—nagkakaroon din ng pagkakataon ang mga anak na mangarap, makapag-aral, at makapaghanda para sa kanilang kinabukasan.

Isang magandang paalala na kapag may suporta sa manggagawa, mas maraming pangarap ang nagiging posible. 🇵🇭

𝐈𝐍𝐒𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓𝐒 𝐒𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐄𝐃: “Malaki ang aking pasasalamat sa DOLE dahil nabigyan ako ng pagkakataong magkaroon ng livelihood project. Hindi lang kagamitan ang natanggap ko. Nagkaroon ako ng pagkakataong matuto at magkaroon ng dagdag na kita para sa aking pamilya,” said Arnie Jonasan, a beneficiary of the DOLE Integrated Livelihood Program (DILP), from Baganga, Davao Oriental.

Arnie was among the DILP beneficiaries and projects identified by the Bureau of Workers with Special Concerns (BWSC) for inclusion in the DILP monitoring activity.

Two years after receiving livelihood assistance, beneficiaries in the First District of Davao Oriental continue to demonstrate how government support can become a lasting source of income and opportunity.

This reflects the continuing direction of the Department of Labor and Employment under Secretary Francis N. Tolentino, whose leadership emphasizes programs that create meaningful and sustainable opportunities for workers and their families. The Department continues to pursue initiatives that promote employment, livelihood, self-reliance, and stronger partnerships among government agencies and communities.
