Misamisnons reap benefits from government aid on PBBM's birthday
Misamis Occidental —The
provincial government here and the Office of the President, hosted the
impactful “Handog ng Pangulo: Serbisyong Sapat para sa Lahat” program. This
notable event, held at three venues across the province, was part of a
nationwide celebration marking President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.’s 67th
birthday.
The initiative was launched
simultaneously across the country, showcasing a unified effort by national
government agencies (NGAs) to deliver essential support to communities. In
Misamis Occidental, the program provided significant aid, reflecting the administration's
commitment to addressing immediate needs while promoting long-term development.
In Ozamiz City, 970 sari-sari
store owners and ambulant vendors were each awarded PHP 5,000 at the Ozamiz
City Gymnasium. This support is part of a broader strategy aimed at
strengthening local businesses and assisting individuals facing economic
challenges and natural calamities.
Another highlight was the
distribution of PHP 5,000 each to 1,179 beneficiaries from the Barangay Peace
Keeping Action Teams (BPATs) of Plaridel, Jimenez, Panaon, and Aloran. This
event took place at the Plaridel Municipal Covered Court, emphasizing the importance
of local peacekeepers in community development.
Additionally, PHP 5.5 million in
wages was allocated through the TUPAD (Tulong Panghanapbuhay sa Ating
Disadvantaged/Displaced Workers) program to 1,271 informal sector workers,
underscoring the nationwide commitment to comprehensive government assistance.
Governor Henry Oaminal
highlighted the significance of the program, saying, “This initiative
transcends being just a program; it symbolizes unity and progress. President
Marcos’s Bagong Pilipinas vision represents the government’s dedication to
making public services more accessible and efficient, bringing vital support
directly to the people.”
Governor Oaminal also reaffirmed
the vision of Asenso Misamis Occidental, which aims to foster a peaceful,
prosperous, and joyful community. This vision aligns with the Bagong Pilipinas
principles, ensuring that national and local efforts work in harmony to meet
the real needs of the people.
He urged all beneficiaries to
fully utilize the opportunities provided and emphasized the importance of
continued unity and collaboration in achieving common goals.
The governor extended his
gratitude to President Ferdinand Marcos for his exceptional leadership and to
House Speaker Martin Romualdez for securing essential funding. “Today’s
assistance is a testament to our government’s unwavering commitment to every Filipino.
Let us continue to work together to realize our shared vision for a peaceful,
prosperous, and happy Misamis Occidental,” Governor Oaminal concluded.
The success of the “Handog ng
Pangulo” program was made possible through the dedicated efforts of local
leaders, including Governor Oaminal, Second District Representative Sancho
Fernando Oaminal, First District Representative Jason P. Almonte, mayors, board
members, and provincial officials who worked tirelessly to ensure the aid
reached those in need.
This initiative, in collaboration
with various government agencies such as the Department of Agriculture (DA),
the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), the Department of
Health (DOH), and the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), as well as the
Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) and the Technical Education and
