DAVAO CITY – Vice President Sara Duterte, who is also the Secretary of Education, is putting up more satellite offices in various regions in an effort to serve more people, especially the poor.
This was announced by Duterte’s spokesman Reynold
Munsayac. “The OVP (Office of the Vice President) intends to open additional
satellite offices to expand the reach of its social services, programs to more
marginalized communities,” he said.
Munsayac said the OVP would also launch a
livelihood program called “Mag Negosyo Ta Day” which aims to provide inclusive
financial empowerment to women and members of the LGBTQ sectors.
He said qualified beneficiaries will undergo basic
business management training. They will also receive a grant of P20,000 as
their livelihood capital. The program was first implemented in Davao City when Duterte
was mayor.
The OVP is also studying other basic social
services that it can offer to the public, apart from the existing medical and
burial assistance, according to Munsayac.
Duterte last month put up satellite offices in the
cities of Zamboanga, Davao, Tandag, Dagupan, Cebu and Tacloban. (Mindanao Examiner)
