-MAASIN CITY, Southern Leyte, Mar. 30 (PIA) -- The Department of Science and Technology (DOST)-Southern Leyte has released funds for the equipment of business enterprises in the city.
+MAASIN City, Southern Leyte, Apr. 1 (PIA) -- A total of 2,550 household beneficiaries here received their conditional cash grant under the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program.
-The DOST Southern Leyte released P700,000 to Marte Technova shop for the production of needed equipment of Small Medium Scale (SMS) business enterprises.
+Together with the two bank tellers from the Land Bank of the Philippines – Maasin Branch and the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) Office, the Pantawid Pamilya beneficiaries on Friday started to claim their conditional cash grants for the months of November 2011 – February 2012 at the maximum of P 1,400 per month for every beneficiary.
-Marte Technova produces food utensils and equipments for use by the small medium scale enterprises in the locality.
+Instead of only two months, Maasin City beneficiaries are entitled to receive four – months worth of cash grant as decided by the DSWD Central Office, to fully utilize the previous year's Pantawid Pamilya funds throughout the region.
-DOST provincial director Engr. Dominador Clavejo said most of the equipment needed by the local food industries such as stainless tables, machine parts like grater, among others, will be readily available in the community as Marte Technova shop is capable to undertake the production of such food utensils.
+DSWD Region 8 Director Letecia T. Diokno admonished the beneficiaries to handle the financial assistance properly and reminded them that the money is not for the parents but for the education and health care of the children and the expectant mothers.
-“Instead of purchasing the needed equipment of the local food industries from Cebu City, these will soon be locally available with lesser expenses will be involved,” Clavejo reported.
+She cautioned them to comply with the conditions set by the program since if they lack in fulfilling the requirements they will be cut off in receiving the said monthly cash grant.
-He said these equipment were usually purchased outside the province since these could not be bought in the locality.
+She further urged the parents to work hard instead of waiting for the monthly conditional cash grant as this serves only to supplement their needs for their children to pursue education and health of the children and pregnant mothers.
-The cost of these needed food utensils also became more costly since one has to spend additional expense for the transportation cost in order to get these mentioned equipment, he added.
+Diokno challenged the beneficiaries that as a 4Ps family, they should become model of a peaceful family with children going to school, healthy children and mothers, among other being socially developed family with the additional income of P15,000 every year for five years from now. (EOPT/ESG, PIA8 SoLeyte)
-Southern Leyte has a host of small medium scale food industries hence the demand to for such equipment has encouraged the Marte Technova to produce locally, he said.
