CITY SOCIAL WELFARE OFFICE UPDATES

     The City Government of Trece Martires through City Social Welfare & Development Office launched the Supplementary Feeding Program (SFP), Distribution of Sustainable Livelihood Program (SLP) and Buwan ng Wika Celebration.

       The Supplementary Feeding Program is the provision of food, in addition to the regular meals, to currently enrolled day care center children.  This is in the form of hot meals, as recommended by the Food and Nutrition Research Institute (FNRI), and served during break time to children in daycare centers to prevent mal-nutrition. Mayor Melan De Sagun was at the Southville daycare center with the Barangay Inocencio Daycare workers and Ms. Marife V. Morales last August 6, 2015 to oversee this program.

       The next activity was the distribution of Sustainable Livelihood Program (SLP) Micro-Enterprise Development Track Bottoms - Up Budgeting (B.U.B) Fiscal Year 2015 of the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) which aims to continue to improve the socio-economic status of poor families by creating more employment and entrepreneurial opportunities. The target beneficiaries for the 1M income generating projects are the 200 Trece Martires City SEA-K Association Pantawid Pamilyang     Pilipino Program (4P’s), Benificiaries for 13 barangays, 20 groups (10 members). This was held last August 11, 2015.

       The last activity was the Buwan ng Wika which used to be a week-long celebration was changed by President Ramos to a month-long activity starting in 1997. The daycare children in the city celebrated Buwan ng Wika last August 26, 2015 at Barangay Inocencio Covered Court sponsored by Cavite Provincial Library & Office of Sanggunian Panlalawigan. Ms. Sally De Sagun & Mr. Christopher Galpa gave a message to the recipients followed by a dance presentation from each daycare center. Ms. Nora Delos Santos gave a closing remarks.
