I. INTRODUCTION:

The City Social Welfare and Development Office is one of the local government arms in providing programs for those who has the least in life for 21 years stipulated in 1991 Local Government Code. This 2015 is the 20th year that this office is under the local government unit. This office provides programs and services to the needy based on the guidelines of the national government. With the policy of helping families from “womb to tomb” this office was able to reach more than the target plan and implemented the programs and services within the allocated budget. Also this year, the office was granted with different blessings, and assistance by partner agencies from the local, regional as well as the national entities. The positive response of the Local Officials in allowing staff to attend conventions, conferences and seminars is an edge in gaining useful tools, practices and updating their knowledge in the comprehensive integrated delivery of basic services to the people.

The City Social Welfare and Development Office (CSWDO) as a separate department has its own budget allocation that provides social services to the neediest families in the barangays. This office experienced handling of family case works and consistent efforts were undertaken to help them alleviate stress or any distressful situation. Good to note that no serious catastrophe experienced by the Batangueño except Typhoons Lando and Nona which accommodated evacuees from shoreline barangays near the city proper.

With this, it is also noted that the indigent families received the Social Protection Programs from the National Government through DSWD Region IV-A in the amount
Php 79,565,063.00 and was utilized by program as follows:

4. Pantawid Pamilya Program – Php 42,783,900.00 for 6, 348 families.
5. Government Participatory Bottom Up Budgeting (BUB) Program Php 1,736,000.00 divided to: for Physical Restoration for Person with Disability – Php 500,000.00 Rice Subsidy for 210 most indigent families of the city – Php 900,000.00 and Practical Skills Development Training for Out of School Youth- Php 336,000.00
