Fernandinos Rewarded For Gardening, Planting Works [ Friday, 29th of January 2021 | 1 month ago ]
A
total of 200 Fernandinos were rewarded with cash incentive of P3,000 on October
28, 2020 for supporting the food security and hunger mitigation initiative of
both the national and local government.
The
said beneficiaries were aided through the Cash-for-Work project under the
climate change adaptation and mitigation program of the Department of Social
Welfare and Development (DSWD) Region III, together with the City Social
Welfare and Development Office (CSWDO).
Being
a regular program of the DSWD, the agency said that for this year, it was
intended to help address the adverse effects in food production of the COVID-19
pandemic, through planting and gardening projects.
“Since
nararanasan pa rin natin ang pandemiya ngayon, naging prayoridad natin sa
programa ay ang hunger mitigation and
food security dahil nakita nating nahihirapan na mag-purchase ng pagkain ang
mga tao at sa kanilang pagtatanim, makasisiguro tayong ligtas at sariwa ang
kanilang mga kakainin,” explained Keith Richard Carpio, DSWD Regional Office
III Project Development Officer II.
For
this edition of the program, Bernadette Maniago, City Social Welfare Officer
II, said that they prioritized the affected members of the transport groups and
some household members from six barangays.
These
barangays include Alasas, Del Rosario, Malpitic, San Agustin, San Isidro, and
San Pedro.
“Ang
programa natin ay ginawa sa loob ng sampung araw kung saan ang ating target
beneficiaries na tricycle drivers, public utility jeepney drivers, at household
members, nakiisa sila sa pagtatayo ng community vegetable gardens,” Maniago
said.
The
City Government shouldered the provision of seedlings, fertilizers, and planting
and gardening equipment while the harvested vegetables can be shared or sold
among the community members.
The
Cash-for-Work project, as described by DSWD, “is a short-term intervention to
provide temporary employment to distressed/ displaced individuals by
participating in or undertaking preparedness, mitigation, relief,
rehabilitation or risk reduction projects and activities in their communities
or in evacuation centers.”
The
program has been implemented in the city since 2016, where several programs on
desilting of waterways, widening of canals, and maintenance of Materials
Recovery Facility were done.
