2,497 motorcab drivers in MisOcc benefit from government's AKAP program

 

OZAMIZ CITY, Misamis Occidental — The Misamis Occidental government, led by Governor Henry Oaminal and 2nd District Representative Sancho "Ando" Oaminal, in partnership with local mayors and the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), spearheaded the nationwide launch of the Ayuda para sa Kapos ang Kita Program (AKAP). This national initiative, under the leadership of President Ferdinand "Bongbong" R. Marcos Jr. and Speaker Ferdinand Martin G. Romualdez, took place on Saturday at the Ozamiz City Gym.

In District 2, over 2,497 motorcab drivers received financial assistance of PHP 3,000 each to help meet their daily needs. This support is part of a broader government effort to provide immediate financial relief to those in need.

Governor Henry Oaminal expressed his gratitude and outlined the vision for the province. He emphasized the importance of helping those with insufficient income to achieve a prosperous life.

 "Kita dinhi sa atong probinsya, swerte kita kaayo kay sa atong vision nga pag-Asenso, makita nato kini sa pamuyo sa mga tawo. Ang klase sa pag-Asenso nga atong makita mao ang Misamisnon Magpuyong Malinawon, Malambuon, ug Malipayon. Para magpuyong malambuon, gikinahanglan nga matagaan ug ayuda ang mga katawhan nga ang kita medyo kulang pa,” he shared.

Governor Oaminal further elaborated on the national government's role in creating this program. “This has been considered by our national government and our leaders, which is why this legislation was created to provide assistance to those with insufficient income. Let's thank those who worked hard to draft this legislation, including our Congressman Sancho Fernando ‘Ando’ Oaminal, who consulted and prioritized who should receive assistance first—the motorcab drivers, and various operators.”

Meanwhile, Second District Rep. Sancho Fernando “Ando” Oaminal highlighted the nationwide scope of the activity. He stated, “This is a nationwide activity, meaning the entire Philippines is launching the AKAP-334 in different locations across the country. Various districts are conducting simultaneous launches of the newest DSWD program under the leadership of President Bongbong Marcos."

The AKAP payout is designed to provide immediate financial relief to minimum wage earners, low-income earners, and those in financial distress. This initiative is part of the government's broader effort to support vulnerable sectors and enhance the quality of life for all Filipinos. By ensuring that financial assistance reaches those in need, the program aims to uplift communities and promote economic stability. (SN/PGMO)
