Town wants to empower drivers


CANDABA - The municipal government here wanted to  empower various tricycle drivers associations by giving them an oppurtunity to have an extra income through livelihood program.

This came as Mayor Jerry Pelayo along with other local officials  previously led the groundbreaking of the proposed spare parts shop inside the compound of the Ms. Earth Park in Barangay Mandasig this town. 

"Ang gusto natin ay sila na mismo ang magtitinda ng mga piyesa na kailangan nila. Bibigyan natin sila ng puhunan para iyong tubo pagbenta ng piyesa ay sa cooperatiba na mapupunta at mabibili na nila ito sa mababang halaga," Pelayo told Sun Star Pampanga. 

It was learned that the drivers' associations are expected to receive an initial capital of P250,000 to start their own business.

Aside from this, they are also set to undergo trainings and seminars on small engine mechanic in coordination with the Provincial Manpower and Training Center (PMTC) and other concerned agency on the matter. 

"Papa-train natin sila sa pagme-mekaniko para kapag mayroon sila ang kanilang motor ay sila nalang mismo ang gagawa pati piyesa sa kanila na rin," Pelayo said. 

The spare parts shop will be placed under the management of the drivers through their cooperative.

"Kapag tumatakbo na iyong shop nila, maglalagay din tayo ng grocery para lahat ng miyembro ay doon na lamang mamimili ng kanilang kailangan may special discount din para sa kanila," the mayor stated.
