As for the organization of the Peace and Development Operations Team, DOLE representatives shared that interested cooperative and individual beneficiaries may apply and avail of the said program if they meet the eligibility and compliance with the requirements of the aforementioned livelihood assistance.

“Dahil po sa inyo ay mas lalong makakarating sa mga kababayan natin sa laylayan at kabundukan ang mga programa ni DOLE upang mas marami pa ang ating matulungan. Sa mga aktibidad nating ito, mas lalo nilang mararamdaman na kahit nsa pinakamalayo man silang sulok o lugar, hindi p rin sila nakakalimutan ng gobyerno pagdating sa mga programa nito,” Ms. Kalalo remarked.
