Tanudan, Kalinga – To help students who belong to economically challenged families pursue their studies, a cash-for-work program was rolled out in the municipality benefitting 130 students.

The Special Program for Employment of Students or SPES provides temporary employment to financially disadvantaged youth.

Fifty of the 130 students are funded by the Department of Labor and Employment and the rest are under the Local Government Unit of Tanudan.
