CATBALOGAN CITY, Samar, April 24 (PIA) -- The Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) does not only temporary assistance to its beneficiaries but also ensures transformation of their character. | |||
A beneficiary of the 4Ps, Loraina Mediana, 23, of Barangay Old Mahayag, Catbalogan City and a mother of two receives P 1,600 every two months. She said aside from education, health, and nutrition benefits, the program also helps them to change their character. | |||
“Kasama sa kondisyon ng 4Ps ay bawal ang magsugal at mag-bisyo at dahil dito ngayon natutunan naming na mas maganda ang buhay ng hindi nagsusugal at hindi nagbibisyo (4Ps prohibits gambling and indulging in vices, we learned that life is better without vices),” she said. | |||
“Malaki ang tulong talaga nito sa aming buhay at pagkatao. Malaki ang katipiran na nagawa nito na naidagdag para sa mga importanteng pangangailangan ng pamilya (The program is a big help to our life and character. The program allowed us to have big savings to be used for the important needs of the family),” she added. | |||
Another 4Ps beneficiary and a father of five, fisherman Freddie Mura receives P2,800 every two months from Barangay San Roque, Catbalogan City. | |||
“I thought at first that DSWD had planted agents in our barangay to arrest us while gambling, so I avoided it and discovered that we could save more if we do not gamble anymore,” Mura said in vernacular. | |||
“Nahadlok ako bangin bawion ha amon an allowance nga ginhatag, pero tikang didto nahibaro kami hin pagsunod han kondisyones ngan kun kay anu kinahanglan namon sumunod (I fear that they will really forfeit the cash grant if we don’t abide by the conditions,” said Mura. | |||
He and his family followed the conditions given to them and from there they have learned the importance why they needed to follow. | |||
“Nakaupay ha amon ang pagsunod han kondisyones kay nahibaroan namon hin maupay nga pagkinabuhi hin waray bisyo ngan huwigo, dako nga katipiran ngan kalipayan kay may natitirok na yana bisan tala gudti. (Obeying the conditions made us feel better, we also found out that by avoiding vices, we spent less and we saved the little cash instead), " he said. | |||
The Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) is a poverty reduction and social development strategy of the National Government that provides conditional cash grants to extremely poor households to improve their health, nutrition, education. (LDL-PIA 8, Samar with A. Ebalde) | |||

CATBALOGAN CITY, Samar, April 23 (PIA) --The Samar Provincial Social Welfare and Development Office had started profiling former rebels on April 16-17. | |||
This project is done by the office with the Office of the Presidential Assistant on the Peace Process (OPAPP) to assess the needs of rebel returnees (RRs) and the eventual provision of the government in addressing the needs. | |||
This is according to Emy Bonifacio, OPAPP extension worker in Samar. | |||
According to Alma Austero Social Welfare Officer 1, they have started with some six Samarnon RRs all males, three from Sta Rita, two from Paranas town, and one from Gandara. | |||
The livelihood program will be in effect for six years, she added. | |||
Partner agencies in the project are Samar LGU, DepEd, Department of Health, the Armed forces of the Philippines (AFP), the police, and the agricultural office in the LGUs. | |||
Rebel returnees are former members of the communist party/New Peoples Army(NPA) who have decided to surrender to the authorities and live normal lives away from the insurgents. | |||
There are some cases when the rebels need cash because they would really want to start a new life away from those who know them,” added the welfare officer. | |||
Some RRs though would just like to be where their relatives are, so that the partner agencies will just extend services to the family members like health benefits and scholarships to the former rebel beneficiaries. | |||
The profiling project is in relation to the Comprehensive Local Integration Program. (ldl/NBQ-PIA 8, Samar) | |||
