With this development, the provincial government of Surigao del Sur has extended financial assistance to the graduates in the amount of P500,000.00, while the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) has promised to allocate P600,000.00 fund under the Tulong Panghanapbuhay sa ating Disadvantaged / Displaced Workers (TUPAD) thru the cash-for-work program.

Secretary Isidro LapeΓ±a, Director-General of the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA), together with Undersecretary Joann Burgos, representing Cabinet Secretary Karlo Nograles also witnessed the said event.

“The locals need not to go to the government agencies to avail of the different programs because the government agencies are the ones coming to the communities to provide the programs they need. This is one way of bringing the government closer to the people,” said Sec. LapeΓ±a.

It can be recalled that on March 2, 2018, some 23 New People’s Army (NPA) and supporters have surrendered to the 36th Infantry Battalion, Philippine Army while on March 25 this year, 64 NPA supporters and members have also voluntarily surrendered and returned to the folds of the law, and all of them are residents of Sitio Ibuan.
