Officials from Barangay Dalayap in Macabebe are expressing optimism as they await the implementation of a proposed livelihood program by the provincial government. This initiative aims to provide sustainable income for local residents through the utilization of a 20-hectare land area.
Provincial Response to Community Needs
According to the Capitol, barangay officials recently approached Governor Lilia Pineda with a request for livelihood opportunities to support their community. In response, the provincial government is actively advancing the development of a comprehensive livelihood program. This program will be situated on a 20-hectare vacant lot, which has been identified as a spoil site previously used by the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH).
Transforming Land for Productive Use
Governor Pineda emphasized the plan to transform this area into a productive space for local benefit. The Capitol has outlined that the initiative will concentrate on agricultural activities, specifically the cultivation of various crops. This approach is designed not only to generate income for the beneficiaries but also to enhance food security within Barangay Dalayap.
The project represents a significant step towards economic empowerment and community resilience, leveraging underutilized land for sustainable development. As preparations continue, residents and officials alike are hopeful that this program will foster long-term prosperity and self-sufficiency in the barangay.
