AESTHETIC CLINIC RECEIVES MUCH-NEEDED ASSISTANCE UNDER DOLE AMP IN TANAUAN CITY, BATANGAS

With the start of a new month, a better and brighter business opportunity kicked off in a beauty and wellness hub after the Department of Labor and Employment IV-A, through its Batangas Provincial Office, led the turnover of much-needed equipment to an aesthetic clinic under the Adjustment Measures Program (AMP) during a ceremonial release at Darasa, Tanauan City, Batangas, on October 1.

"What we will be asking on the part of the Department of Labor and Employment is kapag minonitor po kayo, pinuntahan kayo, sana nandiyan pa si machine, and sana meron naman po kayong additional income from what we have provided you. Ang aming pasasalamat po [at]  ang aming appreciation for believing in the program and for participating in the program," Director Tan said.

With utmost gratitude, Mr. Revo Sapno expressed his sincere appreciation for the assistance that they received from submitting their application up until the finalization of their proposals.

"Itong programang ito, maganda talaga. Kasi ang gusto ng DOLE is ma-improve yung business mo, at saka pangalawa, makapag-generate ng maraming empleyado [at] makatulong sa mga tao. So ang magiging outcome nito for sure, mag-e-expand iyong business namin, magkakaroon tayo ng mas maraming clients, [at] mabibigay natin iyong bagong services na iyong ibang clinic ay wala pa pero tayo ay meron na dahil sa DOLE," Mr. Sapno shared.

Aside from the business enhancement component through the provision of clinic equipment such as the Nano Steam, Frozen Iron, Skin Analyzer Machines, Laser Hair Treatment Machine, Jetpeel Machine, Pico/Diode Laser Machine, Facial Bubble Machine 10 in 1, Radio Frequency Machine, RF Microneedling Machine, and Hydraulic Autobed, the employees of the establishment are set to undergo capacity building on Precision Aesthetics on October 12 and 13, 2026 to further enhance their skills in performing skin treatment procedures for their future clients.

The AMP is an initiative of the DOLE and Secretary Francis N. Tolentino in providing grants and trainings to boost the competitiveness of MSMEs like Mr. Sapon's business and, at the same time, help them adapt to existing economic disruptions and market needs.#
