BAGUIO CITY – Mayor Mauricio Domogan last week released a total amount of P161,000 from his Priority Development and Assistance Fund (PDAF livelihood program) when he was still congressman to 17 beneficiaries.

Pinget Women’s Livelihood Organization received a total of P50,000.00 for their micro-lending business while six families received a maximum of P20,000 and a minimum of P5,000 for their soap making, knitting, sari-sari store and other livelihood programs.

Ten individuals were also given P5,000 to P3,000.

The livelihood fund is loaned to low-income and moderate income individuals, organizations and groups from the barangays screened by the Office of the City social Welfare and Development Office without interest.

Its primary goal is for grantees to start livelihood activities.

The project is being implemented by the OCSWADO under City Social Welfare Officer Betty Fangasan.
