CALAPAN CITY, Oriental Mindoro, December 5 (PIA) -- Governor Alfonso V. Umali, Jr. recently urged members of the Provincial Convergence Coordinating Committee to speed up the processes on Social Protection Support Initiative (SPSI) to fully implement the program in the province.
CALAPAN CITY, Oriental Mindoro, Dec. 6 (PIA) - A total of157 applicants have qualified for jobs offered by 25 employment agencies including those looking for workers abroad during the recent Provincial Job and Livelihood Fair at the Jose J. Leido, Jr. Memorial National High School gymnasium in this city.
SPSI is a health-related program that aims to ensure that all public hospitals here will have functional referral system.
Some 100 applicants, who underwent follow-up interviews, were asked to submit additional requirements for the jobs they had earlier applied for.
There are three important programs under SPSI, namely: Sustaining Interventions in Poverty Alleviation and Governance (SIPAG), where the Pantawid Pamilyang Program of the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) is included; Watching Over Mothers and Babies or WOMB of the Department of Health (DOH); and the Securing and Guaranteeing Insurance of the Poor (SAGIP) program of PhilHealth.
During the program, the provincial government awarded 15 ‘Nego Karts’ to qualified beneficiaries who also received P2,500 each as initial capital for their business.
According to Umali, the programs will be implemented for the next three years which will start on May next year.
The ‘Nego Kart’ program is a joint project of the Department of Labor and Employment regional office and the provincial government. It aims to uplift the welfare of the people especially those who wish to start small businesses.
On its first year, the system management & development and hardware procurement will be done, while the succeeding years will be intended for its full-blast implementation.
Other government agencies also offered their services during the jobs fair like the Professional Regulation Commission, Philippine Health Insurance Corporation, Home Development and Mutual Fund, Social Security System, National Statistics Office, Government Service Insurance System, and Bureau of Internal Revenue.

Based on the report of DSWD MIMAROPA, under the SIPAG program, they have already conducted trainings on Social Welfare Indicator (SWI) Toolkit and Enhanced Social Case Management Manual to the beneficiaries of six municipalities like Pola, Naujan, Bansud, Bongabong, Mansalay and Bulalacao.
Just this September, more than 70 percent target households underwent SWI administration in the province of Oriental Mindoro. It covered some 25,904 household beneficiaries. Likewise, DSWD has approved the Terms of Reference (TOR) for the Electronic Case Management System (e-SCMS) of SIPAG.
Meanwhile, the SAGIP program of PhilHealth is expected to expedite its transactions by making database update, sponsored program, referral, alert & communication, monitoring & tracking modules and also provision of Identity Authentication & Kiosk Transaction Subsystem in the province.
