The Board of Claims (BOC) conducted an orientation on the Victims Compensation Program under Republic Act No. 7309 for social workers from the Marillac Hills – National Training School for Girls (MH-NTSG), headed by Chief Eva N. Villegas, and representatives from the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) Central Office, headed by Chief Maria Aquiliza M. Ongleo, on 13 May 2026.

The activity was attended by BOC officials SASP Jovyanne E. Santamaria, Chief for Operations, and SASP Anna Noreen T. Devanadera, Chief for Administration, who provided a comprehensive discussion on the application process, documentary requirements, and benefits available to qualified victims under the Victims Compensation Program.

The orientation served as a valuable platform for dialogue and collaboration, reinforcing the shared commitment of the BOC and DSWD in ensuring that social workers efficiently assist the victims and that beneficiaries receive the compensation.

Tandaan na bawat hakbang ay mahalaga.

Sa bawat maliit na pag-usad, may lakas na unti-unting nabubuo.

Ang mahalaga ay patuloy kang sumusulong, dahan-dahan man, may tiwala na malalampasan mo rin ito.

ENGLISH
Every step counts.

With every small leap, there is strength that gradually builds.

What's important is that you keep moving forward with the confidence that you can get through this too.

BISAYA
Bisan unsa pa ang imong dagan, matag lakang adunay bili.

Sa matag gamay nga lihok, adunay kusog nga hinay-hinay nga matukod.

Ang importante mao nga magpadayon ka sa paglihok padulong sa unahan uban ang pagsalig nga malabyan ra nimo kini.
