MANILA, Philippines — Over 31,000 workers from different provinces in Bicol have received emergency employment and livelihood assistance, according to the Department of Labor and Employment.

DOLE Secretary Bienvenido Laguesma said up to P156 million in assistance was released under the agency’s integrated livelihood and emergency employment programs.

Up to 2,000 employment opportunities were offered in a job fair launched for new graduates and other job seekers in the provinces of Albay, Camarines Norte, Catanduanes, Masbate and Sorsogon.

The programs were in line with DOLE’s efforts to bring government services closer to the people and help them start their livelihood projects.

Beneficiaries and job seekers were advised to take advantage of the opportunities provided to them.
