The Regional Advisory Council (RAC) convened today (December 16) to provide updates on the recently conducted Onsite Monitoring (OSM) in Binalonan and Sison, Pangasinan.

The meeting was attended by RAC member-agencies, including DepEd, DOH, TESDA, DOLE, NNC, DOST, DEPDev, DILG, NCIP, PhilHealth, and DAR. Discussions highlighted health-related concerns as one of the reasons for Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) not attending school (NAS) children.

The 4Ps Regional Program Management Office also presented updates from the 3rd Quarter OSM in Narvacan, Ilocos Sur. One case involved a NAS 4Ps child due to a vehicular accident and was unable to undergo immediate medical checkups due to financial constraints, leading to a cancer diagnosis. Through immediate coordination with the Department of Health, the child received prompt assessment and assistance and now on his journey to recovery.

This re-affirms the value of coordinated action in addressing the urgent needs of 4Ps household beneficiaries. Maraming salamat po sa mga RAC member-agencies sa inyong dedikasyon para sa ikabubuti ng 4Ps household beneficiaries! 💛💙❤️

“No man is an island.” Isang paalala na walang sinuman ang uusbong nang nag-iisa. Tulad ng isang punla na kailangang alagaan ng araw, tubig, at matabang lupa upang sumibol, gayon din ang bawat pamayanan. Umaasenso sa tulong ng pagkakaisa at malasakit sa kapwa.

Sa ganitong diwa, patuloy na pinayayabong ng Department of Social Welfare and Development Field Office 1 – Ilocos Region (DSWD FO 1), sa pamamagitan ng Sustainable Livelihood Program (SLP), ang mga punla ng pag-asa upang magkaroon ng maayos at pangmatagalang kabuhayan para sa pag-unlad ng mga komunidad sa Rehiyon Uno.

Sa paggawa ng parol, hindi lang ang tahanan ang lumiliwanag, kundi pati ang kinabukasan ng bawat manggagawa ng parol sa Sta. Lucia, San Fernando, Pampanga.

Sa bawat halaga ng pera na ipinagkaloob sa Sta. Lucia Lantern Makers Sustainable Livelihood Program Association (SLPA) ng Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), higit pa ito sa tulong-pinansyal dahil ito rin ay pagkilala sa kanilang talento, sipag, at kakayahang lumikha ng mas maliwanag na bukas.

Sa pagtutulungan ng komunidad at pamahalaan, nagiging posible ang mga pangarap ng mamamayan.

Ating tunghayan ang kwentong puno ng pagtutulungan, katatagan, at pag-angat ng komunidad sa Kwento ng Pag-asa at Pagbabago!

Masaya, makabuluhan, at puno ng bagong kaalaman ang isinagawang Experiential Learning Visit (ELV) ng DSWD Field Office 1 – Ilocos Region (DSWD FO 1) kasama ang mga kinatawan mula sa Centers and Residential Care Facilities (CRCF) at mga Lokal na Pamahalaan na nagpapatupad ng Risk Resiliency Program – Project LAWA at BINHI sa Region III sa tulong ng DSWD Field Office III – Central Luzon.

Naibahagi sa kanila ang mga best practices ng mga partner-beneficiaries na isinasagawa bago, habang, at pagkatapos ng implementasyon ng programa. Kabilang dito ang mga paghahandang isinasagawa ng mga partner-beneficiary, koordinasyon sa mga barangay at lokal na pamahalaan, at mga sistemang ginagamit upang mapanatili ang mga naipatupad na proyekto.

Bago matapos ang ELV, nagbahagi ang mga kalahok ng mga natutunan nilang bagong aral at kung paano nila ito maisasabuhay at maiaangkop sa kani-kanilang mga proyekto.
