The Special Program for the Employment of Students (SPES) is mandated under Republic Act number 9547. It aims to help the youth have money to spend for their education.

“Ang ibinibigay natin, ayon sa batas ay minimum wage which is Php 491 per day…so binibigaynatin ‘yan on a weekly basis.” USEC. Mateo added.

Those interested may apply in DOLE offices, public employment services offices or in other offices of the department which offer SPES. They just need to bring the following requirements:

SPES application form; birth certificate / baptismal certificate; latest income tax return of parents/ certificate of tax exemption/ certificate of indigency and form 138 or class cards (for students).
