PUERTO PRINCESA CITY, PALAWAN | Setyembre 24, 2026 — Isinagawa ng Provincial Committee on Anti-Trafficking and Violence Against Women and Their Children (PCAT-VAWC) at Provincial Council for the Protection of Children (PCPC) ang kanilang 3rd Quarter Meetings upang higit na mapalakas ang koordinasyon, pagtutulungan, at sama-samang pagkilos sa pagtugon sa mga usaping may kinalaman sa proteksyon at kapakanan ng kababaihan at mga bata sa Palawan.

Sa pagpupulong ng PCAT-VAWC, tinalakay ang mahahalagang usapin kaugnay ng human trafficking at violence against women and their children (VAWC), kabilang ang status ng isang alleged trafficking in persons case sa Coron, Palawan at ang sitwasyon ng mga biktima ng alleged illegal recruitment na kasalukuyang nasa Malaysia.

CORON, PALAWAN | Setyembre 12, 2026 — Sa gitna ng isang trahedyang nag-iwan ng takot, pangungulila, at matinding pangamba, patuloy na nakikipag-ugnayan at umaalalay ang Provincial Social Welfare and Development Office (PSWDO) sa mga survivors at pamilyang naapektuhan ng insidente ng M/V June Aster sa Coron.

Bilang bahagi ng agarang social welfare response, isinagawa ng PSWDO ang Psychological First Aid (PFA) at iba pang kinakailangang social work interventions para sa mga survivors, pamilya ng mga nawawala, at mga pamilyang namatayan.

Sa pangunguna nina SWO II Devie Mae T. Navarro, SWO II Mary Inah Rossilli Pineda, at PSW III Nanami Bajar, sa ilalim ng gabay ni PSWDO Abigail D. Ablaña, nakipagtulungan ang PSWDO sa mga social workers mula sa Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) at Local Government Unit of Coron upang matugunan ang psychosocial at iba pang agarang pangangailangan ng mga naapektuhan.

Mula kahapon hanggang ngayong araw, 16 na survivors at 13 pamilya ng mga nawawala ang nabigyan ng intervention sa Coron District Hospital, Regional Evacuation Center, at Coron Emergency Operations Center (EOC).

HINDI LANG PSYCHOSOCIAL SUPPORT—KUNDI AGARANG TULONG

Katuwang nina Governor Amy Roa Alvarez at BM Anton Alvarez sa pamamahagi ng financial assistance si SWO I Helen Grace Nava.

Labindalawang (12) Palaweño survivors ang nakatanggap ng tig-₱10,000 financial assistance, habang isang kaanak ng nawawala ang nabigyan ng ₱3,000 agarang tulong.

At hindi dito nagtatapos ang serbisyo.

Bukas, Setyembre 13, 2026, ipagpapatuloy ng PSWDO ang assistance sa pamamagitan ng paghahatid ng financial assistance sa mga survivors na kasalukuyang nasa Culion Sanitarium and General Hospital.

ANG SOCIAL WORKER SA GITNA NG TRAHEDYA

Sa gitna ng trahedya, nariyan ang mga social workers upang makinig, umalalay, magsagawa ng assessment, magbigay ng psychosocial support, at mag-ugnay ng kinakailangang serbisyo para sa survivors at kanilang mga pamilya.

Dahil ang pagbangon ay hindi lamang tungkol sa agarang tulong—ito rin ay tungkol sa pagbibigay ng pag-asa, dignidad, at suporta sa bawat hakbang tungo sa paghilom.
