Researches made for the yaer were focused on Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program, Adoption and the four (4) Centers and Institutions – Haven for the Elderly, Bahay Tuluyan ng mga Bata and Regional Haven for Women. Final Manuscripts were requested from the students as part of the requirement of the regional office in approving their research. Said documents were screened to ensure that client and beneficiaries welfare will not be put at stake. All findings and recommendations were noted, reviewed and referred to Institutional Development Division to form part of Knowledge Management that will serve as a guide in the review of program implementation.

These concerns included features especially for PWDs in the core shelter assistance project and more employment opportunities for the PWDs. Women More than 25% of the population (2010 NSO CPH) comprise the women population in the region withstanding the fact that majority belong to the younger population. There are some pressing concerns of the sector to include domestic abuses and human trafficking. Though there are available programs and services for them it is imperative that the root of these issues be addressed through other approaches and initiatives. Highlights of Program Implementation involving the Women Sector:

a. KALAHI-CIDSS - 130 women participated in the skills training of the JSDF-

LVUC project such as electronics, mechanics, automotive, and SMAW b. Recovery and Reintegration of Human Trafficking of Persons - twenty women

victims were assisted, seven of them were provided financial assistance for BalikProbinsya project and temporary shelter while the thirteen others were referred to LGUs for proper intervention.

c. Regional Haven for Women - The center continuously provide services such as homelife, counselling, skills training among others.

Activities conducted at the LGU level:

a. Provision of technical assistance to theLGUs of Calamba City, Polillio, Quezon and Laurel, Batangas relative to organization of KALIPI.

b. Conduct of 1st Calamba Women Congress on March 23-24 in La Vista Resort, Calamba City whereby the Magna Carta of Women and other related laws were discussed

11

c. Induction of new set of KALIPI Officers for CY 2015 in Tanauan City d. Skills training on meat processing, beads making, perfume making and cosmetology

Among the activities were: 1) Orientation on RA 51 or the Milk Code, Breast Feeding Basic and Ten Kumainment to 50 women employees 2) The Ricky Reyes learning Institute headed by Training Director, Mr. George M. Belandres rendered services for free. Senior Citizens The enactment of Republic Act 9994 otherwise known as the “Expanded Senior Citizens Act of 2010” is a demonstration of a true reform to provide and improve the quality of life of the elderly. The DSWD as the lead agency in Social Protection continues to reinforce its commitment of promoting the welfare of senior citizens. Accomplishments for the Senior Citizen sector:

1.Provision of stipend to indigent senior citizen One of the salient provisions in the RA 9994 (Expanded Senior Citizens Act of 2010) is the provision of Php500.00 monthly stipend to indigent senior citizens. There are 60,938 identified beneficiaries of the program composed of 11,696 beneficiaries from the Listahanan database and 49,242 beneficiaries from those identified by LGUs. There were SP delisted for reasons such as deceased beneficiaries, unlocated, with SSS/GSIS/PVAO Pension, transferred, and with family support. The monthly stipend of the social pensioners is a support for their medicines and daily needs. Implementation issues and concerns 1. Lack of awareness and commitment of some agencies to implement programs

and services as mandated by their respective agencies 2. Inadequate monitoring and evaluation system of some agencies. Hence,

agencies are not able to evaluate the effectiveness 3. Lack of technical assistance in the translation of laws into local ordinances and

its implementation at the local level 4. Non-compliance of some commercial establishments on the provision of discount

and benefits for senior citizens 5. Multi-functions of focal persons on senior citizens. The focal person handles

several projects due to the lack of manpower of the agency.

Best Practice / Opportunities for the beneficiaries: 1. Collective catching and group sharing among the beneficiaries. 2. Provide opportunity for livelihood from catching of knifefish to food processing of

Knifefish meat into production of siomai, kikiam, lumpia, dried knifefish and sell it to nearby market.

3. The knifefish meat can be introduced as additional food to Day Care Children involve in Supplementary Feeding Program.

4. Improve environmental condition by lessening the knifefish in the Laguna Lake.

B. Rehabilitation Program Implementation (Typhoon Glenda) In reference to the July 24, 2014 report/update of DSWD Field Office IV-A on the effects of Tropical Storm Glenda, a total of 125 cities/municipalities comprised of 1,998 barangays in Region IV-A were devastated by the disaster. Of these figures, 367,486 families composed of 1,481,305 individuals were victimized by the natural phenomena. Some 410 evacuation centers were set up by the affected local government units since August 15, 2014 that provided shelter to 19,336 families or 90,249 persons while 31,685 families or 158,409 persons who stayed outside the evacuation centers were also provided with relief assistance. Region IV-A also registered 343,899 damaged houses, with 65,522 totally and 281,377 partially damaged houses among all local government units affected by typhoon Glenda. Furthermore, 57 individuals were reported dead. The Field Office eventually received a Sub-Allotment Advice (SAA) intended for the release of allotment for rehabilitation projects and activities for victims of Typhoon Glenda in Quezon and Laguna Provinces in the amount of ₱117,011,040.00 under the Continuing Appropriations (Calamity Fund), with SARO#BMB-B-14-0026856 dated December 29, 2014.

C. Emergency Shelter Assistance Program

An unspent amount of 6,860,000.00 out of the 38,820,000.00 assistance to 3,196 families with totally damaged houses is expected to be disbursed within the year or early in January 2016, at most, once the fund is obligated. Said remaining amount will benefit 686 typhoon-stricken families. Along with the Cash for Work implementation of Laguna Province, the transfer-of-fund scheme utilized by the Field Office to nearly all of the city/municipal local government units of the province guaranteed 100% disbursement of the P17,710,000.00 worth of Emergency Shelter Assistance fund to the 1,771 needy constituents whose abode were totally damaged by Typhoon Glenda. The 1st District of Laguna did not benefit from the said assistance considering that the program is not included in their rehabilitation plan.

D. Core Shelter Assistance Program Agdangan, Quezon and San Pablo, Laguna jointly shared the P7,000,000.00 worth of Core Shelter Assistance fund with 41 and 59 beneficiaries apiece. A combined amount of P2,100,000.00 was already transferred to the said LGUs as part of the 1st tranche of fund release, which is 30% of the total allocation. Release of the outstanding 70% of the fund or P4,921,000.00 shall follow.

DSWD BIG TICKET PROGRAMS PANTAWID PAMILYANG PILIPINO PROGRAM (Pantawid)

The Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program in Region IV-A continues to be dynamic in

its implementation for the year 2015. All the program areas were strengthened thru the conduct of different activities and trainings for the staffs and partner agencies.

The program utilizes Automated Business Processes (ABP) in the delivery of grants, monitoring of compliance and feedback system. It operated through three major systems namely: Beneficiary Data Management System (BDMS), Compliance Verification System (CVS) and Grievance Redress System (GRS).

The year opened with Open Selection during the first quarter and Set 8 expansion to reach out target for the registered household set by Pantawid Pamilya. Open selection was conducted for the households to decide who among their eligible children are to be monitored for the conditionalities set by the program. This was conducted from the month of February until May.

For Region IV-A, the assigned target was pegged at 323,418 households and to be

able to meet the target, Region 4A was given the task to register 1,154 households from Set 8, 280 households under the status of "Not Registered" and 4,404 households for reactivation from code 15 (No Eligible Beneficiaries for CV Monitoring). Based on the status of Set 8 registration as stated above, almost 80% have been validated and only 36% will be for registration. 29% have been identified as Duplicates. Only 20% were left for validation and in time for the approval on the 3rd week of December 2015. A. Household Coverage

The Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program already covers all the provinces of Region

IV- A (CALABARZON). The program targets 4.4 million household to be registered for the current year and Region IV-A reached 317, 351 (including code 19- Grants Temporarily On- hold (GRS) and Code 21- Newly Registered for initial Payroll Generation).

Compared from the previous periods, it is noticeable that there is a decrease in the

number of registered household for the fifth period this year. This was due to increased

numbers of duplicates, delisted, moved- out, no eligible 0-18 years old children and

unlocated households.

B. COMPLIANCE VERIFICATION1 (As of September 30, 2015, latest available data is only until the 4th CVS Period, which covers August and September. Encoding for 5th period is still on- going)

On the average, the RPMO has achieved 94.89% compliance rate in Education. For

Periods 1 to 4, Quezon has the highest average compliance rate for Education 3-5 at

96.29%, and Batangas for both Education 6-14 at 97.42% and Education 15-18 at

94.24%.

1 The 5th CVS Period Turnout (October and November) is still on process, reports will be available by the end of January

2012. This will be included in the succeeding reports.

36

On the other hand, the average

compliance rate for FDS for the Periods

1 to 4 is 91.64%, with Cavite having the

highest average rate of compliance

(93.78%), and Laguna having the lowest

(88.72%).

For Health compliance,

the regional average is at

95.83%. Health 0-5

averages at 95.26%, with

Rizal having the highest

average compliance rate

at 96.25%. Cavite, on the

other hand, has the

highest average

compliance for pregnant

women at 97.85%.

C. GRIEVANCE REDRESS

E.1 Grievances by Geographical Area

For the whole three quarters of year 2015, the total captured complaints and

grievances is 29, 184. As you can see on the table above, breakdown for received

complaints per quarter and per Province are presented. As you noticed, there is an

increasing trend of complaints received from first quarter up to the third quarter; a 12%

increase is observed from 9,046 from first quarter to 10,167 in the fourth quarter. This is

related to the complaints received by the POO and Region such as Payment related

concern, Misdemeanor cases, inclusion request and cases categorized as “others” due

inability to classify what typology these cases belong.

38

D. COORDINATION AND PARTNERSHIPS In line with the efforts to strengthen public-private partnership and institutionalize

mechanisms for participation in Government programs and services, the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) has partnered with various non-government organizations, faith-based organizations, people’s organizations, academe and private organizations/companies. In CALABARZON, engagement with the members of civil society and the private sector is focused primarily on the provision of technical assistance and services or programs that help uplift the lives of Pantawid Pamilya beneficiaries.

For this year, partner Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) showed their continued

support and commitment in program implementation mainly through their voluntary conduct of the Family Development Session (FDS). At present, there are 1,481 volunteer facilitators in the region. Through the generous support of either the local government units or the CSOs themselves, we were able to train 494 FDS volunteers this year. The increasing number of FDS facilitators greatly helps, especially now that the City/Municipal Links (C/MLs) are administering the SWDI. Aside from facilitating the FDS though, our partners also conduct home visitation, counseling, trainings and other life-enriching activities. In some areas, they are also helping out in SWDI administration. There are organizations as well that help in grievance resolution by referring concerns to staff and by being part of the Barangay Action Team or City/Municipal Advisory Committee

. For this year, DSWD RPMO has forged an agreement with the PES Offices of

CALABARZON with DOLE IV-A to include the PESO officers as members of the City/ Municipal Advisory Committees to facilitate employment of Pantawid Beneficiaries (February 11, 2015). A partnership with the Department of Education, on the other hand, has led to the geo-tagging of 258 DepEd Facilities for the “Mapa-Aralan”.

39

E. SWDI BASELINE ASSESSMENT As of 04 December 2015, 58.36% (or 189,122) of the total number of households

targeted have been assessed. There is still a variance of 134,947 out of the total target of 324,122 households. The assessment of the remaining households is on-going in the respective Provincial Offices.

SUSTAINABLE LIVELIHOOD PROGRAM (SLP)

The Sustainable Livelihood Program (SLP) is a community-based capacity-building program aimed at improving the socio-economic status of its participants. Along with the Pantawid Pamilya Pilipino Program and the Kapit-bisig Laban sa Kahirapan- Community Integrated Delivery of Social Services or KALAHI-CIDSS, the SLP is part of the Convergence Strategy for poverty reduction of the DSWD. Referred to as the Tatsulo, the Convergence Strategy offers a multi-faceted means of poverty reduction. Each of the programs is geared toward addressing the root causes of poverty starting on the micro level, to the meso level, and eventually to the macro level.

It operates on a two-track system, in which participants are given the option to take either the Micro-enterprise Development track or the Employment Facilitation track after participating in social preparation and capacity-building workshops. Participants are then provided with the corresponding assistance based on their chosen tracks. Further trainings are conducted during the implementation process of the program, as well as monitoring and evaluation.

40

As per the 2015 SLP PREW agreement, the physical target of FO IV-A was reduced from 31,770 to 19,853 due to the decrease in total downloaded GAA funds for CY 2015 versus the original CY 2015 GAA allocation, excluding downloaded funds to the FO for PaskuJuan worth Php115,000.00. Based on the above table, the FO has served 25,662 households, which is 129.26% above the set target. Laguna has the highest number of HH served at 2,829 HHs above-target (215.90% accomplishment).

Table 1(above) showed the physical accomplishments of the sub-projects in the 4 modalities of Kalahi-CIDSS. For KC-NCDDP, 48.73% (307 out of 630) of the target number of sub-projects are already completed, while 4.3% (27 out of 630) has not yet started their implementation. According to the Infrastructure Engineers, the reason for the delay in the implementation of the remaining 27 sub-projects is the capacity of the ACT to facilitate pre-procurement activities in multi-level sub-project implementation. Also they are having a problem with the remaining projects in the municipalities of Calauag, General Luna and Catanauan because of the BUB project which shall be finished first before the Kalahi project can be implemented. Moreover, there’s also a problem with the IP projects wherein they cannot immediately purchase native pigs. In PAMANA Cycle3, 79.10% (106 out of 134) of the target sub-projects is completed. There are only 2 sub-projects that have not started – these are in Barangay Poblacion 6, Catanauan and Barangay Calwit, San Narciso. Main reason is the delay in the download of 1st tranche due to recent advisory from PAMANA. Based on the new advisory, PAMANA implementation is thru BLGU (implementing agency) therefore there is a need to close the community account and open a barangay trust account. In DFAT 2014-2015, eight (8) sub-projects were already completed and 12 are still on-going. Eight (8) SPs of the on-going are already within 90%-99% and eligible for 2nd tranche. BUB 2014 with 75% (30 out of 40) completed, 13 are on-going. BUB2015 has identified & validated 483 SPs and 140 are already completed. Based on BUB catch-up plan of the 483 SPs 50% must be completed by end of September 2015, then 80% by end of December 2015 and 100% by March 2016.

already have all three (3) programs (TATSULO), 61 (or 42.96%) have two (DASULO), and 2 (or 1.41%) have only 1 program (ISULO).

E. BUB PROJECTS IMPLEMENTATION

More than 400 hundred BUB projects have been identified with the DSWD since it had

started to implement the BUB in 2013. However, in the course of validation and

implementation, some were found not feasible for implementation. It is in the same light that

the number of projects was reduced to the current 388. As a result of monitoring and

technical assistance provided by the agency in the course of the implementation, the Region

has reached 100 % completion of the projects for the year 2013, 64% completion for the

year 2014 and 19% of completion for the year 2015 as an overall result the department have

reach a total of 57% implementation of all the projects (see table below).

47

In the course of implementation, it was identified that the BUB projects under PSU

(Protective Services Unit) needs attention as some projects, especially in the 2014 and 2015

list, were left behind and are about to be dropped. On the other hand, some projects

identified not feasible for implementation have already been requested for delisting in the

Central Office. As the last phase of 2014 projects implementation is about to end, it is

necessary to settle those identified delisted projects as well as projects needed to be

dropped to be communicated with the LPRAT of the concerned LGU for proper coordination.

As of reporting date, there is a total of 1,658 approved staffing of the FO for permanent, contractual, casual and for COs. The increased number of staff hired is attributed to the scaling up and expansion of the major programs. Of these number, 90.41% were filled up inclusive of all available positions. As of December 18, 2015, the HRDU received a total of 2,650 applications. The influx of applications was due to the publication and posting with the DSWD job portals and referrals from offices and announcements during meetings and assemblies. The turn-around time of filling up of positions is normally observed. However, in some cases, there are concerns that affect this such as:

a. Conflict of schedule of PSB members b. Other PSB members declined to attend during screening because of their individual

work load c. Conduct of background check to qualified applicants took time due to limited staff

under HRDU

On December 21, 2011, President Aquino issued Administrative Order No. 25 (AO 25) creating an Inter-agency Task Force (IATF) on the Harmonization of the National Government Performance Monitoring, Information and Reporting Systems. AO 25 seeks to rationalize, harmonize, streamline, simplify and unify efforts of all the agencies exercising board oversight over line agencies’ performance relative to the Philippine Development Plan 2011-2016 and the present administration’s five key results areas (KRAs) under EO 43. AO 25 establishes a unified and integrated Results-Based Performance Management System (RBPMS) across all departments and agencies. Executive Order No. 80 issued by the President on July 20, 2012 directed the adoption of the Performance-Based Incentive System (PBIS) for government employees. The PBIS is based on the belief that service delivery by the bureaucracy can be improved by linking personnel incentives to the bureau or delivery units’ performance and recognizing and rewarding exemplary performance to foster teamwork and meritocracy. To become eligible for the Performance-Based Incentives, criteria are being set such as: achieve 90% of each one of the targets for the delivery of MFOs, Support to Operations and General Administration and Support Services for CY 2014; Achieve at least 90% of each one of the priority program/projects target agreed with the President’s five KRAs of EO 43; satisfy 100% of the good governance conditions set by the IATF for FY 2014 and rank performance of bureaus or delivery units and the personnel within these units.

For FY 2014, the task force set five good governance conditions based on the performance drivers of the RBPMS namely, financial stewardship, process efficiency, leadership and learning growth. The following are the conditions to comply:

A. General Upkeep of Facilities

The Field Office is now decongested because of the full occupancy of the new building and the newly renovated one giving a more presentable and spacious office for the clients. The staff are able to move and entertain clients with a conducive working conditions. Austerity measures especially on basic utilities such as water, electricity, gasoline and oil in FO and its centers are implemented. Some of these are putting off the airconditioning units at 5:00 oc’lock in the afternoon and switching off lights when not needed. The GASSD also

ensures that there are no leaking faucets and water deposits are in order. In the centers, the clients are thought and always reminded of being frugal in using basic facilities. Likewise, vehicles are maximized by car pooling of staff’s travel. This way the office can economize not only on gasoline and oil but on the toll fees as well.

B. Records Management

Records disposition is the thrust of the office for the year thus decongesting cabinets and providing more space to records of value and current ones. The second disposal of records was undertaken this quarter after the disposal in 2009. The volume of records increases year by year because of the implementation of new projects and expansion of the existing services, hence records management is really essential for efficiency and effectiveness in the office. Based on data, a 30% increase of volume in the incoming and outgoing communication was noted. As a measure, all units are required to regularly submit the records inventory and appraisal. This is being reviewed by the Records Unit for disposition and information to the management. The Records Management Inventory Committee was convened to discuss the records for disposal and recommend for the valueless records of the office. Major Activities on Records management include the following:

1. Actual disposal of the 3rd batch of the approved Request for Disposal conducted last May 28, 2015. The actual volume of the valueless records is equivalent to 3.9648 cu. m. or 1,416 kilos. The cost of the sale per kilo is Php5.29 and Php2.29 for the 30% and 70% of the total valueless records. This is based on the buyer’s assessment of the physical condition of the records for disposal as per their contract for services with NAP for CY 2015. The total amount derived from the sale was Php4,517.64.

2. Continuous implementation of the 5s. The 5s monitoring team was organized to

identify 5s implementation measures as initial step. All units were required to submit their 5s implementation reports.

3. RE-classification of old file records at GMA Records Center. Old file records were re-classified and file records that have reached its retention period were separated. The result will be included in the 4th batch of Request for Authority to Dispose.

4. Maintenance of Basement Records Room. The 2014 MTA documents were stored in the basement area while the 2013 and prior years were safe kept at GMA records center.

5. The reclassification of Pantawid file records was already completed and stored in corrugated boxes. These records will be transferred at San Jose warehouse for proper safekeeping.

6. To minimize the printing of issuances/guidelines, all these records are being digitized and the Records section id now completing the renaming of the PDF file.

There was continuous monitoring of the unliquidated funds transferred to LGUs, NGAs, NGOs, POs and cash advances issued to officers and employees. To ensure that liquidation of officers are complied with, reminders through letters and presentation of status is made during RMDC and ManCom meetings. CONCLUSION: The achievement of plans and targets were largely attributed to the support provided by partners and stakeholders, commitment from the implementers and budget. There may have been issues and concerns however, the workforce have remained steadfast in their work. Teamwork is a key to success.
