House-to-house, extension ng educational cash aid posibleng gawin ng DSWD

Titingnan ng Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) ang posibilidad na palawigin ang pamamahagi ng cash assistance sa mga kwalipikadong estudyante gayundin ang pamamahagi sa house-to-house.

Sinabi ni DSWD Assistant Secretary Romel Lopez na inilalaan ng ahensya ang P1.5 bilyon para sa programa at ipamahagi lamang ang cash aid sa susunod na apat na Sabado o hanggang Setyembre 24.

"If we still have the funds, we’re not discounting the possibility of extending the payout periods for our kababayans," saad ni Lopez sa isang interview.

Sinabi rin niya na titingnan ng ahensya ang paghahatid ng cash aid, ngunit sa mga piling rehiyon lamang.

Sinabi din ni Lopez na ang DSWD ay nagtakda ng payout tuwing Sabado dahil pinangasiwaan din ng ahensya ang iba pang mga programa tulong tulad ng tulong medikal, burial aid, at iba pa.

Para mas mapabilis ang pamamahagi, sinabi ni Lopez na maaaring tingnan din ng DSWD ang pamamahagi ng tulong sa bahay-bahay, lalo na sa mga walang access sa internet at hindi makapagparehistro online.

Triple na ang budget ng DSWD (P1.5Billion) para sa educational assistance para sa mga students.

Sec Tulfo minamadali ang rules para sa solo parents law na magbibigay ng ayuda at mga benefits

Inanunsyo ni Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) Secretary Erwin T. Tulfo ang paglikha ng technical working group (TWG) para sa Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) ng Republic Act (RA) No. 11861 o ang Expanded Solo Parents Welfare Act.

Inaamyendahan ng RA No. 11861 ang Republic Act No. 8972 o ang Solo Parents’ Welfare Act of 2000 upang matiyak na ang solo parents ay maaaring umani ng mas eksklusibong benepisyo na ibinibigay ng gobyerno.

Ang solo parent na kumikita ng minimum wage o mas mababa dito ay mabibigyan ng buwanang cash subsidy na P1,000 mula sa local government unit, sa kondisyon na ang solo parent ay hindi benepisyaryo ng anumang iba pang cash assistance program.

Meron din 10% na diskwento at exemption mula sa value-added tax sa gatas ng sanggol, pagkain, micronutrient supplements, sanitary diapers, duly prescribed medicines, vaccine, at iba pang medical supplement.

Ang solo parent ay uunahin din sa mga murang proyekto sa pabahay sa pamamagitan ng National Housing Authority at bibigyan ng automatic coverage ng Philhealth.

Maaaring ma-access ng solo parent ang mga scholarship program sa pamamagitan ng Department of Education (DepEd), Commission on Higher Education (CHED), o Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA).

Sa pagkakaroon ng bagong batas na ito, inaasahang mas maraming mahihirap na pamilya na pinamumunuan ng mga solong magulang ang matutulungan para magkaroon ng mas magandang kalidad ng buhay.

Utos ni PBBM sa DSWD: Siguruhin ang maayos at mabilis na payout ng educational assistance

Hiniling ni Pangulong Ferdinand Marcos Jr. ang maayos at agarang pamamahagi ng tulong pinansyal sa mga estudyante.

Ito ay matapos dumagsa ang libu-libo sa Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) central office para mag-avail ng educational aid.

"Ipinag-utos ni Pangulong Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. sa Department of Social Welfare and Development na siguruhin ang maayos at mabilis na payout ng educational assistance para sa students-in-crisis na bahagi ng Assistance to Individuals in Crisis Situation" ayon kay Press Secretary Trixie Cruz-Angeles.

Binabantayan ni Marcos ang pamamahagi ng DSWD ng tulong pinansyal sa mga kwalipikadong estudyante, ani Cruz-Angeles.

Sa isang press conference, sinabi ni DSWD Secretary Erwin Tulfo na lalagdaan ang ahensya sa isang memorandum of agreement sa Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) para maiwasang maulit ang hindi makontrol na mga tao na nagkampo sa labas ng central office.

Ang DSWD ay naglaan ng PHP500 milyon para sa cash aid para sa mga indigent students -- PHP1,000 para sa elementarya, PHP2,000 para sa high school, PHP3,000 para sa senior high school, at PHP4,000 para sa mga nasa kolehiyo o kumukuha ng vacational courses.

Dapat ipakita ng mga kwalipikadong benepisyaryo ang kanilang enrollment certificates at school identification card sa mga tanggapan ng DSWD.

Couple who will reach 50th wedding anniversary, may recieve PHP50,000 incentive

The Malaybalay City Council passed a Golden Wedding Ordinance that provides a PHP50,000 incentive for couples celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary.

Based on the ordinance, the marriage of a couple to qualify for the PHP50,000 incentive must be valid and registered in the local City Civil Registry.

Couples who have been permanent residents of Malaybalay City for six years are also qualified for the incentive.

An individual whose spouse works elsewhere and has less than six years of residency can be covered by the incentive if he has been a resident of the city for six years by the time of their golden wedding anniversary.

Married couples who have separated, even if their separation is not yet legal, are no longer qualified.

 The Office of the Senior Citizens' Affairs and the City Mayor's Office will issue the implementing rules and regulations (IRR) of the said ordinance.

City Councilor Niko Aldeguer announced this in a post on his official Facebook Page:

Translation: “Bihira lang sa mag-asawa ang umaabot sa 50 taon nang kasal. Ito ay bilang pagkilala sa kanila para sa kanilang kontribusyon sa komunidad, dahil ang matatag na pamilya ang pundasyon ng ating lipunan.

“Higit sa lahat, pinahahalagahan natin ang ating mga lolo at lola sa kanilang sinumpaang sakramento.

“Nagpapasalamat ako sa aking kapwa konsehal at isa sa may-akda ng ordinansa na si Konsehal Louel Tortola, at sa lahat ng miyembro ng Sangguniang Panlungsod

“Sa Malaybalay, may forever.”

New virus called Langya Virus now spreading in China

A new virus is now spreading in China, the country of origin of the global pandemic coronavirus disease.

Dozens have been affected by the new novel Langya henipavirus (LayV), which was first recorded in the north-eastern provinces of Shandong and Henan in 2018 but was only identified by scientists now, according to The Guardian report.

The virus probably originated in animals and was transmitted to humans, according to scientists.

Some people also developed blood cell abnormalities and impaired liver and kidney functions.

Researchers examined wild animals and found LayV viral RNA in shrews.

Patients were mostly farmers and cases were found with help from a detection system for people with acute fever and a history of animal exposure.

Nearly three dozen people in China have been sickened by the newly identified virus from the same family as the deadly Nipah and Hendra viruses, though there is no evidence that the pathogen can be passed from person-to-person.

Filipino Cardinal Tagle could be the next Pope

The Catholic Herald reported that Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle, former Manila archbishop, is one of the two popular names that can be the next pope.

Another is Hungarian Cardinal Péter Erdő, the archbishop of Esztergom-Budapest.

The report comes amid speculation of the imminent retirement of Pope Francis, who has difficulty walking because of his knee.

Pope Francis recently appointed Tagle as one of the 22 members of the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of Sacraments of Vatican City.

In the latest Newsweek it was stated that Cardinal Tagle was given "5/1 odds" to be elected the next Pope by British bookmakers OLBG.

It was also seen that Tagle is a "top papal contender" due to his series of promotions which is a clear indication.

Besides Tagle and Erdő, Pope Francis is also said to be choosing Italian Cardinal Pietro Parolin, the current Vatican secretary of state, as a replacement.

One-time ayuda na P2,000 para sa lahat ng Pilipino, inihain na!

Isang mambabatas ang nagsusulong ng panukalang nagbibigay ng isang beses na cash aid na PHP2,000 sa lahat ng Pilipino upang maibsan ang pasanin na dala ng pandemic at ang mabilis na pagtaas ng mga produkto at serbisyo.

Inihain ni Kalinga Rep. Irene Saulog ang House Bill 2022, o kilala bilang Universal Ayuda bill, na nagmumungkahi ng halagang PHP218 bilyon para pondohan ang one time cash aid.

Sinabi ni Saulog na ang ayuda ay magiging isang patas na paraan ng pagbibigay ng tulong lalo na sa mga napabayaan sa mga nakaraang programa ng gobyerno, tulad ng social amelioration program.

"While these programs had the noblest of intentions, the implementation was far from ideal. Many were left out," sabi ni Saulog.

"In fact, millions of families were included in the second tranche of ayuda in 2020 after their appeal. It only proves that the priority list prepared was not fully responsive and up-to-date," dagdag niya.

Aniya, ang panukalang batas ay naglalayong ipatupad ang nais gawin ng Bayanihan 3 bill o ang diumano'y stimulus measure noong nakaraang Kongreso, partikular na ang basic universal income sa mga Pilipino.

Ang panukala ay magiging kapaki-pakinabang din sa ekonomiya, dahil ang pera na ibibigay sa mga tao ay dadaloy pabalik at "pump prime" ang ekonomiya.

Dagdag na 4PS monthly payouts at cash aid, nais isulong!

Inirekomenda ng isang mambabatas na dagdagan ang cash aid para sa mga benepisyaryo ng Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) ng gobyerno mula PHP2,000 hanggang PHP3,000 dahil sa inflation at epekto ng patuloy na pandemya.

Nanawagan si Northern Samar Representative Paul Daza para sa buwanang pagpapalabas ng mga payout sa halip na bawat dalawang buwan.

"Prices had been going up. It’s unfortunate that all countries are affected by the pandemic and then, recently, the war in Ukraine. More than ever, our poor needs better social safety nets," sabi ni Daza.

Dapat aniyang maging maingat ang Department of Social Welfare and Development sa proseso ng pag-update dahil ang batas (RA 11310) ay nangangailangan ng mahigpit na hakbang sa pagsubaybay, pag-validate, at pag-update ng listahan ng mga benepisyaryo.

Ayon sa pinakahuling dayis ng gobyerno, tumaas ang poverty incidence sa Pilipinas sa 23.7 porsiyento sa unang kalahati ng 2021 mula sa 21.1 porsiyento sa parehong panahon noong 2018. 

Nangangahulugan ito na humigit-kumulang 3.9 milyong Pilipino ang nabubuhay sa kahirapan.

Senator Raffy Tulfo urged the government and other concerned agencies to develop a contingency plan for Overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) should the tension between China and Taiwan escalate.

The government agencies should develop an organized plan to ensure the safety of OFWs.  in Taiwan and other neighboring countries.

Tulfo heads the Senate Committee on Migrant Workers, the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA), Philippine Overseas Labor Office (POLO) and the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA).

“We should be ready to evacuate OFWs in the event that the current situation escalates into a war,” Tulfo said.

He said, in his experience helping OFWs over the past two decades, government agencies seem to be more reactive than proactive.

There are an estimated 200,000 OFWs working in Taiwan.

2 milyong poor families ang nasa "waiting list" para makasama sa 4Ps: Tulfo, DSWD

Sinabi ni Social Welfare Secretary Erwin Tulfo nitong Sabado na nasa 2 milyong pamilyang Pilipino ang nailagay sa waiting list para sa cash assistance program ng gobyerno o 4Ps.

Ipinaliwanag ni Tulfo sa ilang grupo ng mga "galit" na benepisyaryo na nakatakdang tanggalin sa programa na marami pa ring mahihirap na pamilya ang nasa waiting list.

"Nananawagan ako dito sa 4Ps beneficiaries lalo na sa opisyales ng samahan na mga sir at mga ma'am hindi lang ho ang mga miyembro ninyo ang miyembro na tumatanggap,' ayon kay Tulfo sa isang interview.

"Meron pa po akong nasa listahan na 2 million na naghihintay makapasok," dagdag niya.

"Kung di po tayo mag-aalis paano naman po itong 2 million na may nag-aaral sa elementarya may nag-aaral sa high school na ilan taon na pong maghihitay ... Paano naman po sila na wala ring source?" 

Sinabi ni Tulfo na sa 4.4 milyong pamilya, 1.3 milyong benepisyaryo ang aalisin sa 4Ps dahil hindi na sila kwalipikado o umabot na sa maximum na 7 taong pananatili sa ilalim ng programa.

Ngunit sinabi niya na ang mga pamilyang ito ay hindi agad masisipa sa programa, ngunit bibigyan sila ng abiso ilang linggo bago matangal.
