The workshop aims to provide the participants with
a thorough understanding of the concepts and impact of a selected Science,
Technology and Engineering (ST&E) topic, which is Robotics and its
multidisciplinary fields through interaction with experts in the field.
It also provides them with a venue for the exchange
of ideas and promotion of camaraderie among them and encourages them to join
science clubs and to be involved with the science clubbing movement.

DSWD Caraga prepares workers for crisis situations
under Kalahi-CIDSS program
By Marko Dave D. Reyes
BUTUAN CITY, Oct. 5 (PIA) – The Kapit-Bisig Laban sa Kahirapan –
Comprehensive and Integrated Delivery of Social Services (Kalahi-CIDSS) Caraga
recently concluded the conduct of the Crisis Communication Workshop which aims
to capacitate Sub/Regional Program Management Office (S/RPMO) and field workers
on how to manage crisis situations faced during the program’s implementation.
The workshop, which was held on September 27-29,
2016 at the VCDU Prince Hotel here was participated by workers from the 1st and
2nd Clusters (municipalities of Surigao del Norte, Province of Dinagat Islands,
and some areas of Surigao del Sur) of Kalahi-CIDSS Caraga.
The Kalahi-CIDSS is one of the programs of the
Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) that addresses the needs of
barangays/communities by giving them the opportunity to identify their needs,
identify the project to address their needs, and allow them to implement the
project themselves.
With the dynamics of the implementation of the
program, and with the inclusion of different partner-stakeholders, there is a
major risk for problems/crisis to occur.
The training aims to unify the program’s messaging
for the different stakeholders from the RPMO down to the Area Coordinating
Teams (ACTs) on the field especially in times of crisis and capacitate the
workers on crisis management, specifically on how to respond to problems based
on different situations encountered in the workplace.
The remaining workers who have not undergone the
training workshop will have their sessions on a series of schedules for October
– November. DSWD Caraga would continue to capacitate its workers to ensure that
the Department will be able to deliver responsive and compassionate services to
the people of Caraga. (Social Marketing Unit/DSWD Field Office
