QUEZON CITY, (PIA) -- The Pasig City Government is encouraging residents to register and have themselves profiled for the Katuwang sa Agarang Hanapbuhay (KAAGAPAY) program by the city’s Public Employment Service Office (PESO).

The “community-based package assistance” program seeks to offer short-term alternative employment opportunities to constituents who have either lost their jobs due to displacement or been unable to find employment. 

The vacancies range from street sweeping for emergency or temporary employment to recycling and urban gardening for skills training. 

Who are the qualified applicants? 

The bonafide residents of Pasig aged 18 to 75 years old are eligible to apply for the KAAGAPAY program. 

What are the requirements and important processes to remember? 

Interested applicants are required to bring a photocopy of their valid ID with triplicate signature, certificate of residency issued by the respective barangay, 2x2 ID picture, and application form which is made available at the venues on the date of their schedule. 

The assigned PESO personnel at the processing site will check the completeness of the requirements as well the accuracy of the personal information they included in the form.
