Biyahe ng Pangarap: Mula Tricycle Driver Tungo sa Bagong Destinasyon ni Jr. Buh-Ucan Jr.

Para kay JR BUH UCAN JR., ang bawat araw ay isang hamon. Bilang isang pribado at on-call na tricycle driver, hindi sapat ang kanyang kinikita upang matugunan ang pang-araw-araw na pangangailangan ng kanilang pamilya. Pangarap niyang magkaroon ng mas maayos at mas matatag na trabaho, ngunit alam niyang kailangan muna niyang matuto ng bagong kasanayan.

Dumating ang pagkakataong nang siya ay mapabilang sa mga mapalad na nabigyan ng pagkakataong makapagsanay sa 15-araw na Pagsasanay sa Pagmamaneho NC II, sa tulong ng PESO at sa pakikipagtulungan ng TESDA.

Bago magsimula ang pagsasanay, hindi pa marunong si JR BUH-UCAN na magmaneho ng sasakyang may apat na gulong. Ngunit hindi siya nagpatinag. Sa halip, buong tapang niyang hinarap ang bawat hamon ng pagsasanay. Araw-araw siyang nagsikap, nakinig, nagpraktis, at natuto. Para sa kanya, ang bawat oras ng pagsasanay ay isang hakbang patungo sa mas magandang kinabukasan.

Hindi nasayang ang kanyang pagsisikap. Matagumpay niyang natapos ang pagsasanay at nakapasa sa pagtatasa ng TESDA. Noong Setyembre 14, 2026, isa siya sa mga matagumpay na nakapagtapos at nakamit ang kanyang NC II Certificate sa Pagmamaneho.
Ngunit para kay JR, hindi lamang isang sertipiko ang kanyang natanggap. Ito ang naging susi upang mabuksan ang isang bagong oportunidad.
Gamit ang kanyang natutunan at sertipikasyon, nagkaroon siya ng pagkakataong makapag-aplay at matanggap bilang driver sa isang Delivery Driver ng isang Enterprises sa Maddela, Quirino. Mula sa pagiging on-call na tricycle driver, ngayon ay isa na siyang ganap na driver na may mas maayos at mas matatag na pinagkakakitaan.

Ngayon, masasabi ni JR Buh-Ucan na mas maginhawa na ang kanilang buhay. Mas natutugunan na niya ang pang-araw-araw na pangangailangan ng kanilang pamilya at mas may kapanatagan siyang harapin ang mga susunod na araw.

Ang kwento ni JR ay isang magandang patunay na ang isang simpleng pagkakataon ay maaaring maging simula ng malaking pagbabago. Sa tulong ng LGU Nagtipunan, PESO, at TESDA, nabigyan siya ng pagkakataong matuto, magkaroon ng bagong kasanayan, at higit sa lahat, magkaroon ng trabaho at maintindihan ang pagkakaroon ng simpleng lisenya upang matugunan ang pangagailangan ng kanyang pamilya.

Mula sa isang simpleng private on-call tricycle driver, ngayon ay isa na siyang ganap na driver—may trabaho, may bagong pag-asa, at may mas magandang kinabukasang naghihintay para sa kanyang pamilya.

From The Fields To The Salon: Armando Gervacio Turns Skills Into A Brighter Future

NAGTIPUNAN, QUIRINO — At 46, Armando R. Gervacio of Ponggo, Nagtipunan, Quirino, has learned that sometimes, the skills we acquire can become the very foundation of a better future.

A graduate of Cosmetology, Armando developed skills in hair care, beauty, and personal grooming. What he learned was more than just a vocational qualification—it became a valuable skill that would eventually help him create his own source of livelihood and provide for his family.

Before becoming a salon owner and a beneficiary of the Department of Labor and Employment’s (DOLE) Integrated Livelihood Program (DILP), Armando worked as a farm laborer. He relied on farm work and took jobs from landowners to earn money for his family's daily needs. However, the income from agricultural labor was not always enough and was often dependent on the availability of work.

Wanting to find a more stable and sustainable source of income, Armando decided to put his cosmetology skills to use and pursue his goal of establishing his own salon.

His opportunity came when he learned about DILP through the Public Employment Service Office (PESO) Nagtipunan. A message from PESO introduced him to the program and the livelihood opportunities it offered. Seeing the possibility of strengthening his livelihood, Armando decided to apply.

Through DILP, Armando received beautician equipment and tools that he could use in his salon, Salon de Ponggo. For him, the assistance was a significant boost, especially during the early stages of building his livelihood. Instead of having to immediately shoulder the cost of purchasing all the necessary equipment, he was able to use the assistance to improve his services and strengthen his business.

But like any entrepreneur, Armando faced challenges along the way. The number of clients was not always consistent, particularly during periods when business was slow. The rising prices of beauty products and other supplies also required him to carefully manage his earnings. At the same time, he understood that maintaining a salon meant continuously improving his skills and providing quality service to keep his clients coming back.

Despite these challenges, Armando remained determined. The equipment provided through DILP helped lessen his business expenses and enabled him to provide better and more efficient services to his customers. More importantly, the opportunity allowed him to gain confidence in his own abilities and recognize the potential of his skills as a source of sustainable income.

Behind his journey are his family and colleagues, who continue to support him in managing and caring for his salon. Armando also expressed his gratitude to PESO Nagtipunan and DILP for the assistance and guidance that helped him pursue and strengthen his livelihood.

Today, Armando continues to serve clients at Salon de Ponggo, turning his training and passion for cosmetology into a growing source of income for his family. His journey from working in the fields to building a livelihood in the beauty industry shows how skills, determination, and the right opportunity can open a new path toward economic independence.

Armando's story is not simply about changing occupations. It is a story of turning skills into opportunity, opportunity into livelihood, and livelihood into hope.

From the fields where he once worked to the salon he now calls his own, Armando continues to move forward—one client, one service, and one step at a time.

FROM STUDENT WORKER TO FUTURE AGRICULTURIST: JOHN LEVIE ASUNCION’S JOURNEY OF PERSEVERANCE

NAGTIPUNAN, QUIRINO — For 22-year-old John Levie B. Asuncion, pursuing his education meant more than attending classes. It meant persevering through financial challenges while holding firmly to his dream of building a better future through agriculture.

A graduate of Nagtipunan National High School in S.Y. 2022–2023 and a Bachelor of Science in Agriculture student, John Levie became a beneficiary of the Special Program for Employment of Students (SPES) twice—first as a high school student in 2022 and again as a second-year college student in 2024.

John Levie learned about SPES through the Local Government Unit–Public Employment Service Office (LGU-PESO) Nagtipunan and his school. Through the assistance and guidance of the Local Government of Nagtipunan through its Municipal PESO, he was given an opportunity to work during his school break while earning income to help support his education.

Coming from a farming family, John Levie knew the challenges of making ends meet. His father was the family's main source of income, with farming as their primary livelihood. However, the rising cost of agricultural inputs often made it difficult for their income to cover the family's daily needs and his educational expenses. At that time, John Levie was the only sibling who was still pursuing his studies.
Through SPES, facilitated with the support of LGU-PESO Nagtipunan, John Levie was able to contribute to his own educational expenses. His earnings helped cover transportation, food, school projects, materials, and other school-related needs, while also helping lessen the financial burden on his parents.

In 2024, he was assigned to the Municipal Environment and Natural Resources Office (MENRO), where his tasks complemented his Agriculture studies. He assisted in seedling production and care, tree planting and maintenance, landscaping, area maintenance, and other environmental activities.

The experience allowed John Levie to apply what he learned in the classroom while developing a deeper appreciation for agriculture and environmental management.

More than financial assistance, SPES taught him valuable lessons in responsibility, discipline, perseverance, hard work, and time management. It also showed him the value of earning through honest work while pursuing his education.

His dedication was further recognized when he became a finalist in the Gintong Pamana Program for Most Outstanding SPES Recipient, an achievement that inspired him to work even harder toward his dreams.

For John Levie, SPES was more than a temporary employment opportunity. With the support of DOLE, LGU-PESO Nagtipunan, his school, and his family, it became part of his journey toward independence, personal growth, and a brighter future.

From a student seeking a way to help finance his education to an aspiring agriculturist gaining valuable hands-on experience, John Levie continues to cultivate his dreams with determination.

With education as his foundation, hard work as his strength, and the support of SPES and LGU-PESO Nagtipunan, John Levie is steadily cultivating not only the land, but also a future built on perseverance, responsibility, and hope.
