MANILA<\/strong>\u00a0— President Rodrigo R. Duterte inaugurated the new office building of the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) named the \u201cMalasakit Building\u201d at the central office in Batasan Hills, Quezon City during the agency\u2019s 69th founding anniversary culminating activity on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday is the most auspicious time to talk about the true meaning of malasakit at pagbabago, as we celebrate the 69th Founding Anniversary of the Department of Social Welfare and Development,\u201d Duterte said in his speech at the DSWD Central Office.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor nearly seven decades, DSWD has been the lead agency of the government in ensuring that Filipinos have equal access to opportunities and are enabled to improve their [quality of life] in a fair, just and peaceful manner,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The new building was built to enhance its operational capacity by providing additional workspace and a comfortable environment for its clients and personnel.<\/p>\n

The agency said the building is a reminder to all officials and staff of the real essence of the department\u2019s mandate which is to provide genuine, prompt, and compassionate service to the poor, vulnerable, and marginalized sectors.<\/p>\n

It will house the DSWD Operations Group implementing the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps), Sustainable Livelihood Program (SLP), Kapit-Bisig Laban sa Kahirapan-Comprehensive and Integrated Delivery of Social Services (KALAHI-CIDSS), Social Pension for Indigent Senior Citizens (SPISC), and Supplementary Feeding Program (SFP), among others.<\/p>\n

The agency sees stronger coordination in terms of improving program implementation to ensure that the government\u2019s target to reduce poverty incidence to 14 percent by 2022 will be achieved.<\/p>\n

The construction of the Malasakit Building was undertaken in partnership with the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) – Bureau of Construction and was completed on Dec. 13, 2019.\u00a0(PR)<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
