Through this portal, we want to inform and update you on the implementation of the department’s programs and projects–the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program, Kapit Bisig Laban sa Kahirapan (Kalahi), Sustainable Livelihood Program (SLP), Social Pension, Supplementary Feeding, Listahanan or the National Household Targeting System for Poverty Reduction (NHTS-PR) along with our Protective Services.

We aim to give you updates as well as stories of change. These are stories of transformation as told by our beneficiaries and employees themselves–from the housewife becoming a businesswoman, from the aloof to being a parent leader who knows how to speak her mind, from a child in conflict with the law to a soldier, from the trauma of abuse to finding success and many more positive transformation as we touch the lives of people whom we serve.

This year 2016, the DSWD Field Office VI family is steadfast in implementing our programs and projects with vigor and rigor in a Matapat, Mahusay, Mabilis and Magiliw way. I am an Ilongga myself and my passion for service, for empowerment of the poor and vulnerable, and for positive transformation among our clients is my driving force.

We hope that you would find enlightenment as well as draw out inspirations from our stories. Please feel free to reach us through fo6@dswd.gov.ph, facebook account and DSWD Westernvis.

Sincerely,

REBECCA P. GEAMALA
Regional Director
