Title Expanding Sustainable Livelihood Program A Step towards Empowering Filipinos

As we strive to build a brighter future for our nation, it is essential that we prioritize initiatives that promote sustainable livelihoods and empower individuals to improve their socio-economic conditions. In this regard, House Deputy Majority Leader and ACT-CIS Representative Erwin Tulfo has announced plans to file a bill expanding the coverage of the Sustainable Livelihood Program (SLP).

The SLP, implemented by the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), provides P15,000 in capital grants to each family from poor communities who lack stable income, enabling them to start small businesses. While this program has been successful in providing aid to poor families, Tulfo believes that it can be even more effective if expanded to include all Filipinos who are jobless or lack income.

Tulfo's proposal aims to make the SLP more inclusive by providing livelihood aid to individuals who are qualified but not necessarily from poor households. This would enable a broader range of people to access the program and improve their socio-economic conditions. However, it is crucial that beneficiaries receive sufficient training in business management to ensure that the capital provided by the government is spent effectively.

The SLP's current target audience includes individuals living in poor households and families who have graduated from the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps). By expanding this program, we can create more opportunities for Filipinos to improve their lives and break the cycle of poverty. This expansion would not only benefit those who are currently eligible but also help to foster a culture of entrepreneurship and self-reliance.

Overall, Tulfo's proposal is an important step towards empowering Filipinos and promoting sustainable development. By providing additional support and resources to individuals who are struggling to make ends meet, we can help to create a brighter future for our country.
