The Department of Labor and Employment in Negros Oriental will release P3 million in livelihood assistance to various fishermen’s associations in the province under the Integrated Services for Livelihood Advancement program.

Provincial DOLE chief, Jose Ogang, on Wednesday disclosed that the latest beneficiary to receive such assistance is a group of fishermen in Bais City, whose main livelihood is seaweed farming.

At a forum, Ogang said the two fishermen’s groups in Bais City will receive a check for P500,000 at the Philippines 111th Independence Day celebration today. He said beneficiaries had applied for the grant after their seaweed or “guso” farms were destroyed.
