DWUP: Mushroom cultivation flourishing
The Freeman
|April 14, 2025
Contrary to criticisms, the livelihood program and several financial assistance distributions spearheaded by the Division for the Welfare of the Urban Poor (DWUP) are "flourishing" and are, thus, being strictly monitored.
-
Lawyer Butch Librando, DWUP head, in an interview yesterday, said the latest "payout" or distribution of livelihood assistance fund to the beneficiaries was done on March 27, 2025.
Since then, he said, a series of monitoring and site visits were conducted in the areas of Barangays Budlaan, Quiot, and Binaliw.
He said that this mushroom-growing and production livelihood program involved providing a seed capital of P4,000 to participants.
He added the DWUP has ensured that the amount is used specifically for cultivation where beneficiaries are required to purchase five fruiting bags.
Librando explained that while he was among those trained to make fruiting bags, beneficiaries are expected to buy them since producing the bags is a tedious process. He added that beneficiaries were also instructed to store these in a cold area, noting that fruiting bags cannot grow under direct sunlight.
