-SOUTHERN LEYTE, April 20 (PIA) -- With the discovery of the new species of frogs in Southern Leyte, Gordon Ignacio, senior adviser of the biodiversity assessment project, urges Governor Damian Mercado and local government units to conserve the forest and the biodiversity of the province.
+TACLOBAN CITY, Leyte, April 24 (PIA) -- The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) Field Office 8 through its regional director Leticia T. Diokno issued last Monday the schedule of provincial orientation and deliberation for its applicants of the Expanded Government Internship Program (EGIP).
-According to Ignacio, the rich and unique bio-diversity wildlife is “Southern Leyte’s pride,” for this reason, it must be well-preserved and protected.
+For Leyte, the schedule of interview and orientation will be on April 24 and 25 in Tacloban City while in Ormoc City, it will be conducted at the Pantawid Pamilya Operations Office on April 30.
-The joint project of Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ), a German government organization, Southern Leyte provincial government, and the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) yielded numerous significant results.
+For Southern Leyte, interview and orientation will be on April 25 at the provincial Social Welfare and Development Office in Maasin.
-Aside from the new amphibians, the Mount Nacolod assessment also recorded 229 flora species, 31 of which are found only in the Philippines. The survey team recorded 212 vertebrates. These included 112 birds, 36 mammals, and 64 amphibians and reptiles. Flora and Fauna International, a British-based group, said most of these animals are endangered.
+For Samar, interview and orientation will be on April 26 at the Pantawid Pamilya Provincial Operations Office in Catbalogan City.
-Dr. Bernd-Markus Liss, principal advisor for GIZ's forest policy, said the revelation of new species in Southern Leyte underscored the need to protect the forests of the Philippines, a key biodiversity center in the global map. At present, about 80% of the country's forests are degraded.
+For Eastern Samar, interview and orientation will be on April 27 at the Operations Office of the Pantawid Pamilya located near the Metrobank building in Borongan City.
-“By destroying forests, we are also destroying habitats. Who knows what's out there?” he said.
+For Biliran, interview and orientation will be done also on April 27 at the Provincial Capitol building in Naval, and for Northern Samar, interview and orientation will be on April 30 at the Cluster Office of the Pantawid Pamilya in Catarman.
-Liss also noted that new species could benefit the community greatly. To start, these species may help in developing new substances, medicines, and materials.
+DSWD-8 is hiring 7,634 workers regionwide, specifically in-school youth/students, out-of-school youth, college graduates/vocational course graduates who are unemployed, aged 18 to 30 years old.
-As stated by GIZ’s press release, “support from the government and greater involvement of LGUs are expected to ensure the success of protection and rehabilitation of natural forests and conservation of biodiversity.”
+Those who will qualify will have a hands-on experience in working with the DSWD, either in centers, institutions, field offices, or at the communities where they come from to assist in the implementation of the agency’s programs and projects such as Social Pension for Indigent Senior Citizens, Supplemental Feeding, Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program, Cash For Work, and Day Care Service.
-The said institution, together with DENR, plan to continue its field sampling in Mt. Nacolod, a mountain peak near Silago, as well as other areas of the province including the municipalities Hinunangan, Sogod, Maasin, Tomas Oppus, and Malitbog.
+Application forms are now available at the DSWD-8 office website, at the regional office at Tacloban City, and at the Pantawid Pamilya provincial/city/municipal operations office. (ldl/PIA-8/DSWD-8)
