RTWPB-I attended a validation activity on August 11, 2025 to validate and gather information from an eligible proponent of the DOLE Adjustment Measure Program (AMP), Lomboy Farms. 

The AMP validation activity was spearheaded by the DOLE La Union Field Office (DOLE-LUFO) in Bauang, La Union. 

Ms. Gracia Lomboy, proprietor of Lomboy Farms, met with the validation team comprised of representatives from the DOLE LUFO, DOLE Regional Office 1, PESO Bauang Office and RTWPB-1. 

Lomboy Farms is a family-owned business primarily engaged in grape production, agri-tourism, and post-harvest processing. 

The DOLE AMP is a proactive measure to reduce or mitigate the vulnerability of workers and enterprises to economic disruptions, such as natural calamities, man-made disasters, new technologies, industry restructuring, and policy or regulatory changes that may cause serious reductions or losses of employment and business.  

The AMP services available to MSMEs include measures on capacity building, business enhancement and adaptation, digitalization, product development and innovation, productivity improvement, and industrial peace. (Sarah Marie Michelle P. Villamil)
