To rekindle the passion for public service among government employees, the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) and the Career Executive Service Board (CESB) conducted a service caravan at Sitio Paoay, Barangay Guiteb, in Ramos, Tarlac last June 15.

The Integrated Salamin-Diwa (SALDIWA) ng Paglilingkod Training Course in the Philippines Batch 53, comprised of 34 CES officers from 13 national government agencies, provided necessary interventions to improve the community’s well-being.

The Department, through the Kapit-Bisig Laban sa Kahirapan-Comprehensive and Integrated Delivery of Social Services (KALAHI-CIDSS), conducted consultations and collaborated with the members of Sitio Paoay, Barangay Guiteb to identify their needs.

The KALAHI-CIDSS aims to enhance access to basic social services and promote inclusive local planning, budgeting, and implementation.

The community members were able to identify the need for a portable water system and a daycare center to address health and education challenges.

The KALAHI-CIDSS supported these initiatives by facilitating the construction of a daycare center and the installation of a portable water system.

The groundbreaking ceremony for the day care center, with a total grant of Php 1.335 million was attended by key stakeholders, including Atty. Bernadette Mapue-Joaquin, National Program Manager of KALAHI-CIDSS.

“Nawa ang subproject ay hindi magtapos ngayon lang. Sana magtuloy-tuloy ang coordination ng buong Ramos kasama ang ibang ahensya ng gobyerno,” said Atty. Mapue-Joaquin.
