Victorias City
through its summer Special Employment of Students (SPES) Program has benefitted
188 college students. The program ran from April 14 to May 14.
An orientation
headed by PESO Manager Armen Tabligan kicked off the summer job program and Mayor
Francis Frederick Palanca along with City Councilors Sulpicio Montinola, Jr.,
Blandino Galinato, Vincent Marie Roa and Ronilo Sarito were present.
The SPES
beneficiaries joined several community development activities including the
summer remedial reading classes under the Developmental Reading in Progress
Project of the City.
They
also attended seminars on drug addiction and proper solid waste segregation
conducted by Chief of Police P/Supt. Santiago Rapiz and Solid Waste Management
Office Head Lara Ann Garcia, respectively.
During
the culmination, the SPES beneficiaries showcased their talents in singing,
dancing, and acting, among others.
This program
which helps support the students’ educational expenses is under Mayor Francis
Frederick Palanca and PESO Manager Armen Tabligan in coordination with the
Department of Employment (DOLE) and Public Employment Services Office (PESO).
The summer job
workers rendered eight hours of clerical work in the different offices and
departments at the Victorias City Hall for 20 days.
They received
P5,000 of which 60 percent came from the City and 40 percent from DOLE with
insurance, employment and termination contract.
The summer SPES
program qualifiers are legitimate residents of the City with ages 15 to 25
years old, preferably second to fourth year college students, belonging to low
