CAGAYAN de Oro City government has been honored by the Department of Labor and Employment Region 10 (DOLE-10) for achieving a remarkable 100% performance rating in the implementation of the Public Employment Service Office (PESO) programs.
This recognition underscores the city's outstanding efforts in providing employment services and opportunities to its residents, showcasing its dedication to supporting the local workforce.
Sheila Lumbatan, the Chief of Staff at the City Mayor's Office, expressed gratitude for the prestigious acknowledgment from DOLE-10.
Lumbatan highlighted the city government's unwavering commitment to enhancing employment programs and creating more job opportunities for the people of Cagayan de Oro City.
"The recognition serves as a testament to the hard work and dedication of everyone involved in promoting sustainable employment in the community," said Lumbatan.
In another development, local business owners are reminded to renew their business permits promptly as the deadline approaches.
The City Hall announced that businesses renewing their permits closer to the deadline may face penalties, with fees amounting to nearly 20,000 pesos for late renewals.
City officials urge entrepreneurs to comply with the renewal procedures on time to avoid any unnecessary fines and ensure the smooth operation of their businesses.
Moreover, a recent initiative by the city aims to educate over a thousand electricity consumers, particularly those from low-income backgrounds, about the discounted rate program available to eligible individuals.
The program offers reduced electricity rates to help alleviate the financial burden on vulnerable communities and improve their access to essential utility services.
Through this educational campaign, city officials seek to empower residents and enhance their quality of life.
Lumbatan maintained, the City Hall remains dedicated to excellence in governance and public service, as evidenced by its recent achievements and ongoing initiatives.
Lumbatan stressed that with a focus on economic development, job creation, and social welfare, Cagayan de Oro City continues to prioritize the well-being of its residents and work towards building a prosperous and inclusive community for all.
