The Barangay San Jose Farmers and Fisherfolks Association (BSJFFA) had recently received its livelihood grant under the Department of Labor and Employment Integrated Livelihood Program (DILP).
Mr. Verlan Diaz, outgoing DOLE PDISO Provincial Head reminded the officers and members of the association to be well-equipped in terms of business management to ensure the success of their livelihood.
The DOLE-Province of Dinagat Satellite Office (DOLE PDISO) conducted the turn-over ceremony of two fishing boats, nets, and other fishing gears for the Deep-Sea Fishing Livelihood project worth Php332,230.00 to BSJFFA, an association composed of 46 members of Brgy. San Jose, Cagdianao, Province of Dinagat Islands.
“Manghinaot kami nga kini nga proyekto mouswag, mulambo ug inyong ampingan. Mao nga maghimu kamu ug business manager, nga unta magschedule kaninyo kung kanus-a kani gamiton ug kung kanus-a kani dili. Kay negosyo ni, negosyo nga kamu ang magpalambo (We hope that this project will develop and become sustainable. It would be better if you will assign a business manager to manage and schedule when to utilize the boats so that it will not easily get damage),” Diaz said.
Aside from the officers and members of BSJFFA, the ceremony was also attended by Municipal Mayor of Cagdianao Hon. Adolfo Longos; LGU-Cagdianao PESO Manager Salome Pegoro; and the barangay officials.
