Dominguez, who is aspiring for the province’s lone congressional post in the upcoming May 9, 2022 synchronized national and local elections, emphasized that the overall aim of the program is to teach people how to fish so that they will be able to use their acquired skills to earn a living instead of giving out dole outs that could easily be gone in a wink of an eye when not properly used for the benefit of their families.
He reported that the Dominguez family had been quietly supporting this program and more than 50 individuals who had been employed in Japan who can share their experiences with the program.
