DSWD Caraga PD-BBM Boosts Reintegration Efforts for ‘Friends Rescued’ Through Provision of Livelihood Grants

The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) Field Office Caraga Peace and Development – Buong Bansa Mapayapa (PD-BBM) provided livelihood and food assistance to former rebels (FRs) or ‘Friends Rescued’ and participating people’s organizations during the First Provincial Former Rebels Summit 2026 held on October 16 at the Datu Lipus Makapandong Cultural Center in Patin-ay, Prosperidad, Agusan del Sur.

DSWD Caraga PD-BBM provided ₱7.5 million in Payapa at Masaganang Pamayanan (PAMANA) Livelihood Grants to 25 people’s organizations, with each organization receiving ₱300,000 to support their livelihood initiatives.

The assistance forms part of DSWD’s efforts to help strengthen the socioeconomic capacity of communities and organized groups as part of the government’s broader peace and development initiatives.

Aside from the livelihood assistance, DSWD Caraga also distributed 207 Family Food Packs to participants of the summit, providing immediate food support during the activity.

The assistance was provided during the summit themed, “Strengthening Reintegration, Advancing Transformation: Former Rebels as Partners for Sustainable Peace and Development,” which gathered government agencies, local government units, former rebels, people’s organizations, and other stakeholders to strengthen collaboration on reintegration, livelihood development, and peacebuilding.

The provision of PAMANA Livelihood Grants was undertaken in collaboration with the Provincial Government of Agusan del Sur, the Office of the Presidential Adviser on Peace, Reconciliation and Unity (OPAPRU), and the Task Force Balik-Loob.

The summit also featured the signing of a Peace Manifesto, reaffirming the stakeholders’ commitment to supporting reintegration, inclusive development, and sustainable peace in the province.

Through PD-BBM and other social protection interventions, DSWD Caraga continues to provide support that helps communities build sustainable livelihood opportunities and strengthen their capacity to move toward peaceful and resilient communities.

DSWD KALAHI-CIDSS Reviews Municipal Resilience Plans to Strengthen Community-Based Disaster Preparedness

The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) Field Office Caraga, through the KALAHI-CIDSS Regional Program Management Office (RPMO), conducted an RPMO Appraisal Workshop under the Panahon ng Pagkilos: Philippine Community Resilience Project (PCRP) to strengthen the quality of Municipal Resilience Plans (MRPs) on October 13, 2026, and ensure that proposed development interventions respond to identified community risks and vulnerabilities.

Held at the DSWD Field Office Caraga Covered Court, the workshop gathered RPMO core members up to Level III and PCRP Area Coordinators and PDO III personnel, who reviewed MRPs through a structured desk appraisal, group assessment, and presentation of findings.

Facilitated by Ms Ester V. Villamor, DRPM, the session covered the appraisal process, rating and scoring system, and appraisal report templates. Participants examined the plans against key references, including consolidated Participatory Risk and Vulnerability Assessment (PRVA) results, municipal risk maps, resilience plans, the list of PCRP-supported multi-year projects, and Year 1 concept notes.

The appraisal aims to determine whether municipal priorities and proposed programs, projects, and activities (PPAs) are supported by validated risk information and aligned with the PCRP’s Project Development Objective. It also identifies gaps, inconsistencies, and areas requiring technical refinement before plans are finalized.

Findings and recommendations from the workshop will guide subsequent coordination between the RPMO and Area Coordination Teams (ACTs), presentation of appraisal results to Municipal Resilience Teams (MResTs), compliance with review recommendations, and desk review of revised plans before clearance is issued.

Through this quality assurance process, KALAHI-CIDSS supports local implementers in translating risk assessments and community planning into evidence-based resilience investments that address local vulnerabilities and strengthen disaster preparedness.

KALAHI-CIDSS Turns Over Community Sub-Projects in Veruela (AdS), Strengthens Local Responsibility for Basic Services

The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) Field Office Caraga, through the Kapit-Bisig Laban sa Kahirapan–Comprehensive and Integrated Delivery of Social Services (KALAHI-CIDSS) Program, facilitated the inauguration and turnover of community sub-projects in Veruela, Agusan del Sur on October 15, 2026, reinforcing local responsibility for infrastructure and the delivery of basic services.

The activity, which involves the KKB-CDD Program, highlighted the need to sustain completed community investments through clear accountability, coordinated local management, and functional operation and maintenance arrangements. The sub-projects cover the construction of one-classroom school buildings in Barangays Limot, Sisimon, and Anitap, a public toilet in Barangay Sta. Cruz, and a rainwater collector in Barangay La Fortuna, with an overall project cost of P9,575,806.71 for all the Sub-Projects.

Mayor Salimar T. Mondejar, together with Ms Ester V. Villamor, DRPM, joined barangay officials, Barangay Development Council–Technical Working Group (BDC-TWG) chairpersons, and operation and maintenance (O&M) group presidents in the inauguration and turnover activities.

The program included the presentation of completed sub-project accomplishments, the reading of Certificates of Completion and Acceptance and Mutual Partnership Agreements, and the symbolic turnover of the Key of Responsibility. These mechanisms formalize the transition from project implementation to local oversight and help clarify the responsibilities of participating local government units and community management groups.

Community representatives also shared their experiences in implementing the sub-projects, underscoring the importance of community participation and collective accountability in addressing local development needs.

Through its community-driven development approach, KALAHI-CIDSS supports communities in identifying priorities, implementing interventions, and strengthening their capacity to manage development initiatives. The turnover underscores the continuing responsibility of local implementers to maintain the facilities and help ensure that intended services remain accessible to residents.

The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) Field Office Caraga continued its learning visit to examine atmospheric water generator technology and assess its potential application in communities facing water-access challenges.

On October 15, 2026, the team explored the equipment’s technical specifications, power requirements, maintenance needs, and operational considerations to better understand the resources needed to establish and sustain the facility.

The visit also provided insights into the technology’s capabilities and its potential suitability for areas with limited access to safe and reliable water sources. These findings may guide further technical assessment of its feasibility as an alternative water-access solution in parts of the Caraga Region.

With water shortages affecting some communities and El Niño highlighting the need to prepare for possible supply disruptions, DSWD Caraga continues to explore potential approaches to addressing water-related needs. Any future intervention will require further assessment of technical feasibility, community needs, and long-term sustainability.

Alamin natin kung paano naging daan ang Sustainable Livelihood Program (SLP) ng DSWD Field Office Caraga sa pag-unlad ng Matinabangon San Roque SLP Association sa Barangay Tungao, Butuan City.

Sa kasalukuyan, patuloy na pinatatakbo ng asosasyon ang kanilang Agricultural Consolidation Hub at gumagawa rin ng uling at organikong pataba bilang karagdagang pagkakakitaan.

Sa tulong ng SLP at iba pang ahensya ng gobyerno, patuloy na nagsisikap ang mga miyembro na palaguin ang kanilang kabuhayan at lumikha ng mas maraming oportunidad para sa kanilang komunidad.
