Several key areas of support were identified during the VMLP meeting. To bolster livelihoods, lobbying efforts to fund the TUPAD program will create temporary employment opportunities. The AICS program aims to offer financial assistance to those facing hardship, providing crucial crisis support.
Healthcare access was also addressed through the MAIP program, which seeks to deliver medical aid to underprivileged patients. Finally, the SLP program works towards fostering long-term economic prospects for communities and promoting sustainable development.
The meeting served as a platform for provincial chapter presidents to exchange ideas and showcase ongoing projects spearheaded by their respective vice mayors. The exchange of ideas and showcasing of ongoing projects by provincial chapter presidents during the meeting demonstrated the commitment of vice mayors to actively contribute to the development and progress of their communities.
This collaborative effort helps ensure that the programs mentioned earlier, such as AICS, MAIP, and SLP, are effectively implemented and have a lasting impact on the economic and social well-being of the people they serve.
