TABUK CITY, Kalinga: Ten newly organized groups of the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) beneficiaries from Tinglayan and Lubuagan, of this province received their checks from the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) to bankroll their proposed micro-entrepreneurial livelihood projects.
In a formal awarding ceremony at the Provincial Capitol, DSWD Kalinga Program Coordinator Jessie Chelim with Provincial Social Welfare and Development Officer Digna Dalutag and Governor Jocel Baac handed the checks to the recipients in Lubuagan, while recipients from Tinglayan received their checks through the municipal government and DSWD.
The recipient Self-Employment Assistance-Kaunlaran Groups/Associations (SKG/SKA) in Lubuagan are the Fortune SKG of Poblacion that received P76,000.00; the Successful SKG of Barangay Dangoy (P146,000.00); Hope SKG of Antonio Canao (P34,000.00); Bilallikted SKA (P153,000.00) of Mabilong; and Jeffnick’s SKA with members coming from the Barangays Lower Uma, Upper Uma and Uma del Norte (P144,000.00)
The recipients in Tinglayan included the Progress SKG of Barangay Mallango which received P80,000.00; Istay Manna SKA of Barangay Ambato-Legleg (P203, 000 .00); Blessing SKA of Bangad (116,000.00); Fumatnangan SKG of Belong Man-ubal (P41,500.00) and Finurawan SKA of Sumadel (P110,000.00). At least 69 poor households of Tinglayan benefited from said assistance.
Judith Sangdaan of DSWD-Kalinga field office in an interview said that the checks were received by the organizations and will be distributed to the members as capital depending on their proposed livelihood projects. Said individuals she said were required to organize instead of directly providing them the assistance to ensure that the projects are sustained and managed well through the SKA or SKG.
The financial assistance intends to help the recipients establish their individual micro-enterprises consisting of sari-sari store, hog raising and fattening, buy and sell, retail, vegetable production among others providing the poor and disadvantage development opportunities to also alleviate their economic status.
Records show that Lubuagan and Tinglayan were among the first municipalities in the province selected to benefit from the 4Ps anti-poverty alleviation program based on the 2003 Small Area Estimates (SAE) of the National Statistic Coordination Board (NSCB). The other two were Tanudan and Pasil for having the highest poverty incidence in the province.
The survey shows that poverty incidence in Lubuagan has reached 50.37 percent; 70.01 percent in Pasil; 88.08 percent in Tanudan, and Tinglayan has 82.14 percent. All four municipalities became recipients of the conditional cash transfer (CCT) in 2009.
