MisOcc gov’t, DSWD implement Enhanced Support Services Intervention for IPs

 


TUDELA, Misamis Occidental--The provincial government of Misamis Occidental has highlighted the need to push a more comprehensive approach catering to the concerns of the Indigenous Peoples (IPs) in the province. 

Hence, the Misamis Occidental government has partnered with the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) to implement Php 4.5 million worth of livelihood assistance for IPs residing in the province’s six municipalities. 

Under the Enhanced Support Services Intervention (ESSI) for IPs, the provincial government started the distribution of livelihood assistance to a total of 1,144 beneficiaries on Thursday at the Working Congressman Sports and Cultural Center in Tudela town.

Among the ESSI beneficiaries are 236 individuals from Clarin, 344 from Don Victoriano, 43 from Jimenez, 158 from Panoan, 22 from Sinacaban, and 341 from Tudela.

Each beneficiary is contracted to work for 11 days in exchange for compensation that will be computed based on the 2023 regional daily wage rate.

The implementation of ESSI is aimed at providing supplementary support to the beneficiaries for their basic needs and helping them recover from the impact of poverty. 

The ESSI also serves as an extension program of the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (English: Bridging Program for the Filipino Family), also known as 4Ps, which prioritizes the provision of social welfare assistance to homeless families, vulnerable groups, farmers, fisherfolks, individuals in crisis situations, and IPs. 

The program is also aligned with initiatives of the “Asenso administration of Governor Oaminal” to push more transformative solutions that will help empower IPs and 4Ps beneficiaries to improve their lives. (SN/PGMO)
