00:00The Bureau of Jail Management and Penology, together with Alaminos local government unit and partner agencies,

00:06launched a casket-making livelihood program for persons deprived of liberty and indigent families.

00:13Philippine Information Agency, Pangasinan January Del Rosario has the details.

00:19A new, unique livelihood program for persons deprived of liberty or PDLs was launched in Alaminos City

00:26by the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology

00:29at the Alaminos City Jail Male Dormitory

00:32to equip them with skills for societal reintegration

00:35and produce affordable caskets for indigent families in need.

00:39Instead of the usual carpentry or furniture-making as a source of livelihood inside the jail,

00:44they are engaged in making caskets for the less fortunate who have lost loved ones.

01:00And of course,

01:14According to Jail Chief Inspector Marlon Nitorada,

01:17the casket-making program began this May

01:20through the initiative of 1st District Congressman Arthur Celeste

01:24in partnership with the local government of Alaminos

01:27and the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority.

01:30Nitorada said that 25 PDLs have completed basic carpentry training

01:35and obtained a national certificate too,

01:38which they can use not only for making caskets while in jail,

01:41but also upon their release to start a new life.

01:44Each casket made earned them P1,500,

01:48which was shared among the PDLs involved in its production.

01:51The program aims to produce more caskets to be sold at affordable prices,

01:56ranging from P5,000 to P7,000 for indigent families in need.

02:01With the help of the local government of Alaminos,

02:04the PDLs were again provided with materials and other accessories for making additional caskets.

02:10Through the cooperation of various government agencies,

02:13the beneficiaries of the program not only gain skills and livelihood,

02:17but also the opportunity to contribute to their community.
