DSWD Caraga gathered 150 Pantawid Pamilya beneficiaries from Butuan City and 100 from the municipality of Las Nieves, Agusan del Norte, partner agencies and the media to witness the caravan and to gain support for the budget of the Philippine conditional cash transfer (CCT).

Jabagat also reported the DSWD’s performance status of compliance from May to June. “There are already 7,957 registered Pantawid Pamilya beneficiaries in Butuan and 2221 in Las Nieves. About 41 million worth of cash grants was disbursed to Butuan City beneficiaries and 29 million pesos to Las Nieves beneficiaries,” said Jabagat.
Meanwhile, beneficiaries testified on how the 4Ps have helped their lives. Hera Beloria, a twelve year-old girl, and an honor student from Las Nieves said that the program was of great help for her family especially in her studies. “Because of the program, I can now buy the school supplies that I need ug makabayad nako sa akong mga bayronon sa eskwelahan (and I can now pay my school fees)," said Beloria.
Also, the beneficiaries were given the opportunity to consult and inquire concerning livelihood and employment issues. The partner agencies of DSWD such as Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) and Department of Labor-Public Employment Service Offices (DOLE-PESO) stationed their desks for the said purpose.
The Convergence Caravan is actually the three core programs of DSWD: the 4Ps, Kahirapan-Comprehensive and Integrated Delivery of Social Services (KALAHI-CIDSS) and Self- Employment Assistance Kaunlaran (SEA-K). (MRA/PIA-Caraga)
