Antique ‘sacadas’ recipients of livelihood project
SAN JOSE, Antique – Fourteen families of sacadas, or sugar migrant workers, were the beneficiaries of the provincial government’s livelihood project.
Gov. Rhodora Cadiao said the livelihood project was meant to give sacadas an alternative source of income.
The project was funded under the 2017 annual budget, Cadiao added.
Each family received either a cow or a horse for them to raise.
There were 12 cows and two horses given away. All were pregnant.
“We are giving the pregnant animals for the sacadas to breed,” Cadiao said.
She added that there were some delays in distributing the animals because they were bought from outside Antique.
Groceries intended for a sari-sari store were also given to the families.
“We are so thankful to the provincial government for making us the recipients of the livelihood project,” said Demetria Gregorio of Patnongon town. (PNA/PN)
