A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE HONORABLE CITY MAYOR JAMES GORDON, JR. TO ENTER, EXECUTE AND SIGN A MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF LABOR AND EMPLOYMENT FOR THE ‘NEGOSYO SA KARITON’ (NEGOKART) LIVELIHOOD PROGRAM FOR THE CITY

WHEREAS, the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) instituted a program known as the Negosyo sa Kariton (‘NegoKart’) Capability Building for Livelihood Formation and Enhancement as part of its ‘Kabuhayan Program’ to help persons not suited for traditional employment become grassroots based entrepreneurs;

WHEREAS, under the program, DOLE shall provide fund assistance in the amount of Fifteen Thousand Pesos for one (1) beneficiary from each barangay which shall serve as the capital for both the construction of the ‘cart’ (‘kariton’)and the purchase of the merchandise to be sold as may be chosen by the beneficiary;

WHEREAS, DOLE will be allocating Two Hundred Twenty Five Thousand Pesos (PhP225,000.00) or PhP15,000.00 each for the beneficiaries from fifteen barangays – given that two (2) barangays have pending allocations for DOLE- assisted projects which must first be consummated and liquidated;

WHEREAS, as per DOLE determination, each ‘Nego-Kart’ would cost Eighteen Thousand Seven Hundred and Fifty Pesos (PhP18,750.00) or a total of ‘PhP281,250.00’ for the fifteen nego-karts- and has required local government units (LGUs) to provide twenty-percent (20%) of the said cost per cart as its counterpart obligation for the fifteen Nego-kart beneficiaries as a precondition for the availment of the fund assistance – in that DOLE shall provide the PhP225,000.00 (representing 80% of the total project cost of P281,250) while the LGU shall provide P56,250 (representing 80% of the said project cost);

WHEREAS, to encourage entrepreneurship, the beneficiaries were required to submit a basic proposal on the type of Nego-Kart business which was submitted to and approved by the DOLE Regional Office;

WHEREAS, the Sanggunian of other jurisdictions in Zambales such as Iba, Botolan, Palauig and San Narciso have also availed of the program and have passed the necessary resolution/s with provision for the counterpart LGU funding to avail of the benefits accruing from the DOLE Nego-Kart initiative;

WHEREAS, under the program, DOLE with the Public Employment Service Office (PESO) would provide technical assistance in the form of coordination with other government agencies such as Department of Trade and Industry to provide support for the program beneficiaries;

WHEREAS, to ensure that the Nego-kart beneficiaries act in accordance with law, they secure the necessary permits for the operation, and act responsibly and not become illegal vendors and become a public nuisance, DOLE with the City shall be charged with overseeing, monitoring and assisting in the implementation of the project, including facilitating the submission of the required progress and financial reports through the DOLE as required under the program;

NOW, THEREFORE, on motion of City Councilor Eduardo J. Piano, with the unanimous accord of the Members of the Sangguniang Panlungsod present;

RESOLVED, AS IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED, by the Sangguniang Panlungsod in session assembled, to authorize, as it hereby authorizes the Honorable City Mayor James Gordon, Jr. to enter, execute and sign a Memorandum of Agreement with the Department of Labor and Employment for the ‘Negosyo sa Kariton’ (NegoKart) Livelihood Program for the City.

APPROVED UNANIMOUSLY, July 20, 2011.
