POLICE personnel in Monkayo, Davao de Oro established a livelihood project to benefit the youth in the area.

They set up a fishpond under the Revitalized-Pulis sa Barangay Monkayo Cluster 19 and the Upper Ulip Youth Livelihood Association to support teenagers so that they could have an income to help their families for their studies.

The police hope that the project will keep the youth away from vice and crime.

Philippine National Police chief Guillermo Lorenzo Eleazar said the project proves that the police also want to help the youth have a good and meaningful life.

“Makakaasa kayo na laging nakaagapay ang PNP upang mabigyan ng maayos na buhay ang kabataan at mailayo sila sa masasamang gawain lalo na ang pagkakaroon ng masamang bisyo,” Eleazar said.

“Hinihikayat ko ang ibang police units na umisip rin ng iba pang proyekto para sa ating mga kabataan,” he added.
