CABAGAN, Isabela — Ten college graduates from Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) households in Cabagan, Isabela are set to begin working with the Local Government Unit of Cabagan as Contract of Service workers (COS), following the 4Ps graduation ceremony held on August 28, 2026.

The employment is part of the commitment made by the LGU, led by Mayor Mila Albano Mamauag, to provide employment opportunities to 4Ps college graduates and support them in their transition toward self-sufficiency, in support of Regional Development Council (RDC) Resolution No. 02-64, Series of 2025, which encourages Local Government Units (LGUs) and other government instrumentalities to consider hiring qualified 4Ps beneficiaries for government internship, Job Order, or Contract of Service positions.

The 10 graduates are set to begin work on Monday, September 7, 2026, and will be deployed to various municipal offices.

One of the graduates, Elizabeth Aglipay, expressed her gratitude to the 4Ps, LGU Cabagan, and the Provincial Government of Isabela for the opportunity.

“Maraming salamat sa opportunity na makapagtrabaho at maka-give back sa community at sa pamilya namin,” Aglipay said.

The employment commitment was made in support of the 4Ps graduation in Cabagan, where 345 households were recognized after completing their journey in the program. The ceremony also recognized 15 college graduates among the graduating households.

The initiative highlights the role of local government support in helping 4Ps graduates access employment opportunities and sustain the gains they achieved through the program.
