BUENAVISTA, Quezon- Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) Secretary Corazon Juliano-Soliman held a dialogue recently with parent leader-beneficiaries of the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) in this municipality. | |||
Soliman observed the conduct of family development sessions (FDS) and consulted the beneficiaries on its effects. The consultation was also aimed to gather inputs to further improve the implementation of 4Ps in relation to the education and health of the children of the beneficiaries. | |||
During the dialogue, the parent leaders expressed the same opinion that the value of open communication and the importance of recognizing the role of each family member were reinforced through the FDS. | |||
They also expressed the need for the family-beneficiary to be provided with livelihood in preparation for the eventual termination of the program. Among the livelihood activities suggested by parent leaders were pig raising and vending. | |||
In response, Sec. Soliman said the project development officer assigned in their locality will conduct an assessment on the possible livelihood activities that the beneficiaries can engage in under the Self Employment Assistance-Kaunlaran (SEA-K) program of the DSWD. | |||
She also took the opportunity to inquire from the male parents present during the activity if they agree with the arrangement that the wives handle the automated teller machine (ATM) instead of them as head of the family. All the male parents present gave their affirmative approval, saying that they understand the rationale behind the arrangement. | |||
Before ending the dialogue, Sec Soliman shared that the DSWD is currently exploring the possibilities of making the conduct of the grant subsidy pay-outs less expensive for the beneficiaries – either it will be conducted within the municipality or if possible directly to their doorsteps, through conduit partner organization. | |||
The parent leaders who participated in the dialogue thanked Sec. Soliman for taking time to be with them and in responding personally to their inquiries and sharing the good news relative to the implementation of 4Ps in their locality. | |||
