BATANGAS CITY - In accordance with Governor DoDo Mandanas' initiative to organize and improve the quality of small businesses in the province, the Provincial Cooperative, Livelihood and Enterprise Development Office (PCLEDO) provided livelihood assistance to about 4,256 people last year.

A total of ₱6,858,700 was distributed by PCLEDO, where each individual and sectoral group received financial assistance worth 3,000–5,000 and 20,000–50,000 for entrepreneurs.
