(DSWD-MBAI) successfully conducted another benchmarking visit to the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology Mutual Benefit Association Inc.

The DSWD-MBAI delegation, led by Board of Trustees (BOT) Chairperson, Assistant Secretary Rodolfo M. Santos, CESO II, along with DSWD-MBAI Unit Heads and Staff, was welcomed by the BJMPMBAI President, J/DIR Armando M. Llamasares (Ret.), together with other Officials and Personnel.

This key visit marks the beginning of a strategic collaboration aimed at fostering mutual learning. The DSWD-MBAI team received a comprehensive presentation on BJMPMBAI's successful practices in governance, financial management, and member-centric programs, followed by an open forum that facilitated a productive exchange of ideas between the two associations.

The insights gained from this activity will be instrumental in the enhancement of new and improved services for DSWD-MBAI's current and future members. This initiative also reflects the association’s core commitment to continuously innovating its programs to provide maximum support for the welfare and security of all DSWD employees.

The DSWD-MBAI will conduct another visit to BJMPMBAI as part of the benchmarking series. The next session will focus specifically on learning about the BJMPMBAI’s information and technology systems, which are crucial to the innovation goals of the DSWD-MBAI. The BJMPMBAI is one of the premier mutual benefit associations in the Philippines, currently with billions in assets and effective management systems that cover approximately 28,000 members nationwide. In light of this, the DSWD-MBAI hopes to achieve similar success by extending its coverage to all 40,000 DSWD employees.

Furthermore, the meetings provided a platform for strategic discussions focused on exploring new, innovative and reliable banking solutions for all Associations and Organizations (ASORS) in the DSWD.
