Which government agencies oversee SPES?

Which government agencies oversee SPES?

• A. Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) in coordination with DSWD and LGUs
• B. Department of Education in coordination with DOLE and DSWD
• C. Department of Health and Welfare in coordination with LGUs
• D. National Economic and Development Authority

Answer: (A)

SPES is run under the Department of Labor and Employment with support from the Department of Social Welfare and Development and local government units. DOLE leads because it handles job placement, wage subsidies, and how employment programs are organized. DSWD contributes by identifying eligible beneficiary families and ensuring welfare considerations, while LGUs handle the local implementation—posting opportunities, coordinating placements, and distributing funds in their areas. The other options don’t fit because the lead agency for SPES is not Education, Health, or a combined department called Health and Welfare, and NEDA is a planning body rather than the program’s implementing authority.
