Secretary Taguiwalo attends DSWD anniversary celebration in Region 7

Social Welfare Secretary Judy M. Taguiwalo attended the recent celebration of the field office for the 66th anniversary of the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) Field Office VII, which was also her first official visit here.

Taguiwalo graced the blessing of the new DSWD-7 Regional Learning Resource Center and the new regional warehouse in Labangon in the morning of February 9, 2017.

In the afternoon, she proceeded to the awarding ceremony at the SM Seaside, Cebu City.

Taguiwalo witnessed the signing of Memorandum of Agreements (MOA) between Dilaab Foundation for the aftercare, integration and transformation of recovering drug dependents and with Vicente Sotto Memorial Medical Center for the implementation of the Lingap sa Masa, a program of the Duterte administration that provides free medicine to indigents and the needy government workers. She also witnessed the signing of the Terms of Reference between the Department of Science and Technology-7 for the storage of product test samples of ready-to-eat (RTE) smoked fish rice meal in pouch for disaster response.

She served as the keynote speaker of the said celebration.

In her speech, the DSWD chief assured MOA workers that she will make sure they will get more benefits aside from the recent gratuity pay, which will be released within this month.

Taguiwalo who was Founding National President of All University of the Philippines Academic Employee Union and a founder of All-UP Workers' Alliance wished she could provide job security to cost of service employees of DSWD citing that there are MOA workers who have been with the agency for more than 10 years.

“But as you know, the power does not lie with me but with the DBM,” she said.
However, Taguiwalo assured the MOA workers that they will also benefit from second tranche of the Salary Standardization Law on top of the 10 percent premium, which elicited strong applause
from the crowd.

“We hope to do more with the consent of the President to ensure that our MOA workers will receive more benefits while regular workers are promoted base on their accomplishments,” she said.

Taguiwalo thanked everyone especially the partners who helped DSWD in delivering its various programs and services.

“I stand proud with all of you today as we look back to the successes of the past year,” she said.

Taguiwalo also reiterated Pres. Duterte’s instructions, “We are here not to Lord over the people but to serve them.”

Meanwhile, DSWD-7 awardees composed of civil society organizations, private institutions, people organizations and local government units (LGU), exemplary and loyal staff who have served the agency for more than ten years.

John 3:16-18 ESV
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
