ILAGAN,
Isabela – Twenty six beneficiaries of the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino
Program (4Ps) San Mariano town received checks during the launching of the "Sustainable Livelihood and
Environment for Department of Social Welfare Development (DSWD) disadvantaged
clients" program held recently at the Amphitheatre of the Provincial
Capitol here.
The 4Ps and non-4Ps were provided P6,000 each as initial capital
for the propagation of seedlings to be planted at the DENR’s identified
National Greening Program project sites.
DENR awarded the 127 chosen
beneficiaries with Letter of Acceptance or LOA to plant forest trees and
fruit-bearing trees.
Both agencies agreed to tie up
for the formulation of a cooperation program wherein the beneficiaries will be
the vulnerable and disadvantaged sectors of the community.
The cooperation program
highlights the National Greening Program where the DENR identified and provided
100 hectares of land located at Disulap, San Mariano, Isabela, the pilot area,
while the DSWD identified 60 beneficiaries from barangay Disulap and Marannao
who are also under the 4Ps.
San Mariano was the
first town identified by the two government agencies as the beneficiaries of
DENR and DSWD cooperation program.
DSWD Undersecretary for Operation Parisya H. Tarayji said the program
aims to improve the quality of life of the
disadvantaged individuals in all sectors of society and to implement an
area-based, eco-system approach of sustaining the environment and livelihood of
the poor and marginalized within the context of sustainable development
convergence strategy of the national government.
Regional Technical Director
for Forestry Wilfredo Malvar turned over to Usec Taradyi the General
Perspective on the Greening and Landscaping Plan for the field office and for
the Cagayan Valley Regional Rehabilitation Center for Youth and DSWD Field
Office compound during the launching.
