Julieta Olmos Calamba, loyalty awardee for 35 years and Section Head of Personnel Services Section, inspires DSWD Field Office VI employees in her message:
True enough, we, loyalty awardees, have found meaning and purpose through DSWD. It is our way of loving others, the Filipino people, the Ilonggos, our communities. We remember countless times of putting ahead the Filipino people, especially the Ilonggos, instead of being at home with our families in times of crisis and disasters.”
We have set aside several times our families and loved ones in the name of public service, even if, at times, we were risking our lives and properties in the line of service. These were times of typhoon Frank, Yolanda, Guimaras Oil Spill, Guimaras Tragedy, the Boracay Closure, the Pandemic and the recent onslaught of Typhoon Paeng
When we were not able to take care of our children because of the need to be on duty even in emergencies, God saw them through for us. We are proud and happy of how they have become professionals, responsible and successful individuals. God does never betray the heart that serves his people.
