Tabuk City, Kalinga―The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) - Social Welfare Development (SWAd) has started the Livelihood Assistance Grant (LAG) payout to around 334 beneficiaries in Kalinga that started today March 11, 2021 at the Kalinga State University.


Funding of said project was through the initiative of the office of Congressman Allen Jesse Mangaoang which was then downloaded to the DSWD for implementation.

Each family-beneficiary will receive cash grant not exceeding P15,000 as seed capital for their alternative income-generating activities or micro-enterprise ventures.


Beneficiaries include 90 micro-enterprisers from Pasil, 83 from Pinukpuk, 52 from Balbalan and 119 from Lubuagan who belong to the vulnerable sector and whose small business was greatly affected by the circumstances of the pandemic.

In an interview with the solon’s representative Sammy Bayangan, the grantees, he said, must take advantage of the assistance and use it wisely for their small entrepreneur activity to help ease the economic challenges of the pandemic.


“Of course, this is a very unique livelihood assistance, unique in the sense nga it’s a good amount to start a small business ket sapay kuma ta lumago ta once in a lifetime lang met daytoy a maited iti maysa nga individual. This is intended for livelihood so meaning to say you use it for something to earn,” he said.


LAG is under the component of the Social Amelioration Program’s recovery phase. It was among the emergency subsidy programs implemented by the national government to address the impact of the pandemic as set in Republic Act 11469 or the “Bayanihan to Heal as One Act.”
