DENR Secretary Lito Atienza disclosed that around 111,536 green collar jobs will be opened by the agency under the Comprehensive Livelihood and Emergency Employment Program (CLEEP). This is in response to President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo’s directive to provide income-generating services to the Filipinos.
Atienza said that green collar workers will operate under two major components of the DENR-CLEEP, namely, the Upland Development Program (UDP) and “Bantay Gubat” (BG) project. (PIA)
