BAGIO CITY-- An outlay released years back from the Priority Development Assistance Fund of then congressman and now city mayor Mauricio Domogan continues to support livelihood projects of indigent families here, 18 of whom received a total of P126,000 in non-interest loans recently.

Domogan, assisted by city social welfare and development officer Betty Fangasan, presented checks ranging from P3,000 to P20,000 to the heads of the beneficiary families whose projects will be monitored by the city’s social workers.

“These (amounts) are not intended to support the vices of your husbands or for cosmetics,” the mayor told the family heads, all women whose applications for fund support were granted based on their track records and viability of their livelihood projects.
