The DSWD Field Office Caraga underscored the 2020 operations of the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps), by holding the first-ever virtual Program Implementation Review (PIR) with the theme, “Our 2020 Journey: Rising Above the Felt Crisis,” last June 7, via Zoom and Google meet.

“This PIR is also a recognition of the exemplary performance of the Pantawid staff especially in times of a global pandemic. We are here because we did it. We did it because we are united. We are united because we have one common goal, and that is to serve our beneficiaries,” Parajes noted.

OIC-RD Jamen, in a recorded AVP, encourages the Pantawid staff to represent the under-represented, and keep moving with the 4Ps beneficiaries.

Ramel F. Jamen, OIC-regional director, delivered his inspirational message which emphasized the efforts of the Pantawid staff in doing their part in the implementation of the Program which led to the “hakot awards” and national recognition received by 4Ps Caraga.

“If you noticed, that my supervision in you is lesser, because I feel comfortable that you alone can go on and deliver. Don’t rest in your laurels, much are still to be done, we have not fully fulfilled our dream and our purpose that in the nearest future… no one is poor in Caraga,” Jamen said.

Celeste described the team as the BEST (Boundless Potentials, Empowered to Face Adversities, Sincere in Evolving, and Team So Gifted), thus also incorporating the hash tag #4PsCaragaTranscending.

It has been eminent that even with the threats of the pandemic, 4Ps Caraga has managed to rise above the challenges and sustained its responsibilities to its clienteles by providing them untiring services – from Social Amelioration Program (SAP) payouts, to disaster-related augmentations, to Set 10 registration, and other programs/project’s validation such as the Social Pension for Indigent Senior Citizens. They have inculcated in their work the #SERVE1st mantra of the Program.In between the awarding ceremony, each Provincial Operations Office (POO) showcased their recorded presentations. A parade of the most ingenious face masks was also uniquely done by the Pantawid staff, in which COO Butuan City won. A song cover of Alicia Key’s “Good Job” was also performed by the RPMO staff as a tribute to all frontliners, heroes in disguise, and angels in red vests in today’s crisis. ###(Social Marketing Section/DSWD Field Office Caraga)
