Our municipal Department of Social Welfare and
Developments Office (DSWDO) is distributing monetary support to our local indigents through
the program of the Assistance in Crisis Situation (AICS) of our Local Government Unit (LGU).
According to our municipal DSWD officer Mrs. Rosa Guarte,
our municipal mayor Armando V. Abad will approve their office-evaluated applicants, in which
her office will process applications. In order to avail such assistance, applicants must
secure certificate of eligibility from the office of his or her barangay captain for the
purpose of being a qualified indigent of the community.
The other services extended to applicants were relief
assistance, housing assistance, food for work, cash for work, transportation assistance,
food incentives, food for growth, food yielding, skills training, job placement and core
shelter assistance. Through the AICS program each recipient is awarded the amount ranging
from Php 500 to Php 2,000 depending on the needs of the indigent and availability of funds.
