Misamis Occidental— The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD)-10, in partnership with the Provincial Government of Misamis Occidental, has granted P15,000 each to 238 beneficiaries affected by last year’s shear line in the province. This initiative is part of the DSWD's Sustainable Livelihood Program (SLP) and aims to enhance the socio-economic status of the beneficiaries. The recipients include 40 beneficiaries from Aloran, 40 from Jimenez, 51 from Clarin, 43 from Sinacaban, and 50 from Oroquieta City.

The Sustainable Livelihood Program is a capacity-building initiative designed to provide livelihood settlement grants, thereby improving the economic stability of its beneficiaries.

DSWD-10 Assistant Regional Director for Operations, Ardo Ronald Ryan R. Cui, emphasized the importance of the partnership and collaboration between the provincial government and local government units in making this initiative possible.

"Gov. Henry S. Oaminal, daghang salamat from DSWD sa imong suporta, guidance nga ma hapsay ang implementation sa mga programa sa DSWD diri sa probinsya sa Misamis Occidental. I’m confident that we can contribute sa programa sa Misamis Occidental under Gov. Oaminal sa pag-asenso sa MisOcc,’’ expressed Cui.

Before releasing the grants, project development officers conducted extensive capacity-building sessions to ensure beneficiaries can manage and sustain their livelihoods effectively. ARD Cui urged the beneficiaries to use the grants wisely and to maintain their capital, highlighting the continuous support and guidance provided by the SLP.

"Hinaot unta nga ang inyohang nakat-onan sa inyong training ug capability sessions inyohang i-apply sa inyong livelihood ug gamiton ning capital nga gihatag ninyo sa purpose kay ang tumong gyud aning livelihood program is para matabangan mo sa inyohang economic status para dili namo maglisod," he said.

Governor Oaminal acknowledged the DSWD's assistance and reiterated his commitment to supporting the province's economic development.

In an interview, Jimmy Galbano, a resident of Pan-ay, Clarin town, expressed his gratitude for the program. “Dako nakong pasalamat kay natagaan gyud ko ug puhonan para sa among manokan, para sa among panginabuhi kay naa pod koy upat ka siblings nga giatiman. Kini dako gyud kaayo ug katabang kanamo. Daghan kaayong salamat sa DSWD ug ni Governor Henry S. Oaminal,” he shared.

This initiative underscores the collaborative efforts of the DSWD and the Misamis Occidental provincial government to uplift the lives of its residents through sustainable and impactful programs. (SN/PGMO)
