The Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) has allocated more than P559 million to over 70,000 beneficiaries through various initiatives of the department.
Labor Secretary Bienvenido Laguesma said the initiative includes simultaneous job fairs, the awarding of livelihood grants, and payout ceremonies scheduled for Sept. 13, 2025.
