+MAASIN CITY, Southern Leyte, Nov. 22 (PIA) -- The City Social Welfare and Development Office (CSWDO) in Maasin City has scheduled an orientation with the stakeholders of the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) which will be implemented in the city by next year.
-FOBI Program Coordinator Sofia Pono in a phone interview this morning with Philippine Information Agency (PIA)-Maasin disclosed that DSWD-8 required them to submit the requirements for the said quest, saying that “we are submitting all the accomplihsments the organization had, such as the audited financial statement, a certification being a registered, licensed and accredited member of the local social welfare and development office, among others,” Pono informed.
+According to City Social Welfare and Development Officer Febe Sta.Cruz the city of Maasin is a recipient of the 4Ps which will benefit 2,227 indigent families to the national anti-poverty program of President Benigno S. Aquino III.
-She added that the accomplishment report also stated the best practices as one of the strengths of the organization. “FOBI has ensured the sustainability of the organization through the cooperative component, in addition to the funds from the World Vision,” Pono said referring to the FOBI Multi Purpose Cooperative in Maasin City.
+Sta. Cruz said that, however, the said orientation has been indefinitely postponed since the first schedule set within the week has been cancelled due to conflict with the activities of the teachers, one of the stakeholders.
-FOBI also established a 127 hectares reforestation project in the municipalities of Matalom and Bato, all from Leyte provine in coordination with the municipal government and an Agro-Forestry project with Barangay Lunas, Maasin City as their partner. “These projects partnered with people’s organizations, with labor and maintenance services as their counterpart,” Pono revealed.
+The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) Regional Office based in Tacloban City will lead in the orientation among the stakeholders to include the local schools principals, head teachers, doctors in Maasin City, Sangguniang Panglungsod Committee chairmen on the committees of health, education and children, Sta. Cruz said.
-FOBI had at least 1,500 registered families as beneficiaries serving the municipalities of Macrohon, Padre Burgos and Maasin City from Southern Leyte and Matalom and Bato of Leyte province. While the children of these family-beneficiaries are also sent to school, assisting them at least for their school supplies, among other school requiorements,” she added.
+She said the orientation is aimed for the smooth flow in the implementation of the national anti-poverty program in the following year.
-It was learned that Eastern Visayas has six nominees in this years’ search for the Panata Ko sa Bayan awards which consist of four local government units and two non-government organizations.
+The six additional municipalities to avail the 4Ps are Libagon, Lilo-an, Limasawa, Malitbog, San Francisco and San Ricardo, all of Southern Leyte.
-The awardee for each category will receive cash and a plaque, and is invited to join the anniversary celebration in Manila and other special events to advocate the principles of the award and the department’s vision as well, it was learned further. (rgc/PIA-SoLeyte))
