Himamaylan City’s PESO Initiative: Bridging Employment Gaps Through Grassroots Resolutions
In a landmark achievement, Himamaylan City has institutionalized employment services across all barangays under City Ordinance No. 2024-011, authored by ABC President Hon. Kerwin Tongson. This initiative, championed by Mayor Rogelio Raymund I. Tongson Jr. and PESO Manager Dr. Cyche G. Hisona, ensures every resident’s equitable access to job opportunities, training, and livelihood programs.
City Ordinance No. 2024-011: A Blueprint for Inclusive Employment
The ordinance mandates the establishment of Barangay PESO Resolutions, ensuring that employment services reach every corner of Himamaylan. As of March 2025, 19 barangays have adopted these resolutions, aligning with the city’s decentralized, community-driven support vision.
Mayor Tongson emphasized the ordinance’s role in fostering economic inclusivity: “By embedding PESO services in barangays, we empower residents to access opportunities without bureaucratic barriers.” Dr. Hisona, overseeing the program’s implementation, highlighted its focus on livelihood training and job matching, tailored to local needs.
Barangay PESO Resolutions: Grassroots Impact
The resolutions formalize partnerships between barangays and the city’s PESO office, enabling localized employment drives. For example, Resolution No. 2024-0012 (adopted July 2024) allocated ₱1,191,574 for community projects, reflecting the city’s commitment to resource allocation for grassroots initiatives.
Dr. Hisona’s team collaborates with barangay leaders to identify gaps in skills and employment, ensuring programs like vocational training and job fairs address genuine community needs. This approach mirrors the city’s broader inclusive governance strategy, as seen in its Renewable Energy Adoption Program (REAP) and eBOSS system.
Leadership and Collaboration
Mayor Tongson’s administration has prioritized digital governance and community engagement, which is evident in Himamaylan’s pioneering eBOSS system and PESO initiative. Dr. Hisona’s expertise in management ensures resources are allocated efficiently, balancing innovation with practicality.
Conclusion
Himamaylan’s adoption of Barangay PESO Resolutions under Ordinance No. 2024-011 marks a significant leap toward equitable employment assistance. With Mayor Tongson’s vision and Dr. Hisona’s stewardship, the city continues to set benchmarks for inclusive, community-driven progress.
