MAASIN CITY, Southern Leyte, Nov. 18 (PIA) -– In order to ensure that education and health services required by the Pantawid Pampamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) are available for the identified beneficiaries, the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) Regional Office-8 will initiate a Supply Side Assessment orientation on November 25, 2011 in Maasin City.
MAASIN CITY, Southern Leyte, Nov. 19 (PIA) -- The local branch of the Government Service Insurance System (GSIS) has scheduled to meet with its pensioners purposely to thresh out their concerns related to their pensions.
DSWD-8 Director III Jaime Eclavea disclosed that the supply side assessment orientation cum write-shop “provides a framework for prioritizing, gathering, analyzing supply-side information which is intended to identify the likely impact that the 4Ps has on the provision of health and education services.”
The meeting was set in the morning of November 24 at the DPWH function hall this city, from 9:00 in the morning until 12:00 noon.
The activity to be held at the Sangguniang Panglungsod (SP) Session Hall here will gather Department of Education supervisors and identified teachers, Maasin City Health Unit Physicians, SP Committee Chairman on Health and Education, among other concerned. At least 80 participants are expected to participate in the undertaking, the report added.
In order to reach out to as many pensioners as possible to attend the said gathering, GSIS has aired a public service announcement, calling the attention of all those concerned through radio station dydm-AM and Viper-FM 106.1 at Ichon, Macrohon, and also at Maasin Cable Television (MCTV).
It was learned that Maasin City is now identified as additional pilot area for Pantawid Pampamilyang Pilipino program of the Aquino Administration which aims to reduce extreme poverty.
Particularly addressed to be present during the Pensioners’ Day on Nov. 24 were government pensioners who were not yet able to get their Landbank-Maasin-issued Automatic Teller Machine (ATM) cards, said Junjee Punay of the GSIS-Maasin branch.
Supply side assessment is conducted upon the identification of the target areas using the supply side assessment tool on health and education. It is also aimed to determine the readiness of the local government units in ensuring delivery of priority education and health services for the target poor households.
Punay appealed to pensioners to bring their eCards or eCards Plus with them and its Xerox copy, back-to-back, when they go to the Pensioners’ Day meeting.
It is packaged on education and health and nutrition focusing to 0-14 year’s old children and pregnant women, the report added. (rgc/PIA-SoLeyte)
He expected about over a hundred public pensioners from the Maasin-Macrohon area to be around.
Those wanting to make some inquiries or asking other information, Punay said they can call GSIS-Maasin through landline telephone numbers 570-8011 or 381-3786.
Some give-away items may be received by the pensioners on that day, but these will go only to the lucky ones as these freebies will have to be raffled, he added. (PIA-Southern Leyte/bong)
