“Unfortunately, aside from the presence of the COVID-19 virus, unemployment is also one of our concerns for the people of Quezon City. Through this new Pangkabuhayang QC program, we can help our residents provide for their families and slowly improve their circumstances,” ayon kay Mayor Joy Belmonte.

Nasa 200 beneficiaries na binubuo ng hog raisers, sewers, vendors, farmers, parents of children with disabilities, at mga jeepney driver ang nabigyan ng financial assistance sa paglulunsad.

“Last year, we helped businesses provide for their employees through our Kalingang QC para sa Negosyo program. This time, we will be directly helping our community members who continue to struggle during this pandemic. Pangkabuhayang QC will now give them a chance to open or pursue livelihoods for a more sustainable family income,” ani SBCDPO Head Mona Celine Yap.

“This is still part of QC’s COVID-19 response. As we help open more micro and small businesses, economic activity will continue to prosper, thereby bringing income across all sectors,” dagdag pa nito.
