DEPDev Caraga joins the nation in commemorating the 2026 World Day Against Child Labor and reaffirms its commitment to advancing the welfare, protection, and development of every Filipino child.

Aligned with the Caraga Regional Development Plan 2023-2028 Midterm Update’s goals of strengthening human capital, expanding inclusive opportunities, and social protection, we recognize that every child deserves access to quality education, proper nutrition, protection from exploitation, and an environment where they can grow, learn, and thrive—because childhood is meant for learning, growth, and play, not labor that compromises their well-being.

Ending child labor requires collective action from the government, communities, families, civil society, the private sector, and every Filipino.

With this year’s theme, “𝙄𝙠𝙖𝙬, 𝘼𝙠𝙤, 𝙏𝙖𝙮𝙤: 𝙎𝙖𝙢𝙖-𝙨𝙖𝙢𝙖𝙣𝙜 𝙋𝙖𝙜𝙠𝙞𝙡𝙤𝙨 𝙥𝙖𝙧𝙖 𝙨𝙖 𝘽𝙖𝙩𝙖𝙣𝙜 𝙈𝙖𝙡𝙖𝙮𝙖,” let us strengthen our shared commitment to a future where every child is safe, protected, and empowered.

Together, let us raise a red card against child labor and champion every child’s right to learn, play, and thrive.

Families are the first source of love, protection, and strength. They shape the values we carry, nurture the dreams we pursue, and become our foundation through life’s challenges.

As we celebrate the International Day of Families, the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) Field Office Caraga reaffirms its commitment to promoting programs and services that strengthen families, protect children, and address inequalities affecting the well-being of every Filipino household.

This year’s theme, “Families, Inequalities, and Child Wellbeing,” reminds us that building a better future begins with ensuring that every child grows in a safe, nurturing, and supportive environment, and that every family is given equal opportunities to thrive.

Together, let us continue fostering stronger families and more compassionate communities where no one is left behind.

DEPDev Caraga convenes stakeholders for the FY 2028 RDIP Revalidation/Updating of PAPs

The Department of Economy, Planning, and Development (DEPDev) Regional Office Caraga conducted a briefing on the revalidation and updating of FY 2028 priority programs and projects (PAPs) under the Caraga Regional Development Investment Program (RDIP) 2023-2028 Midterm Update on April 30, 2026, at the Pavilion, Watergate Hotel, Butuan City.

The activity convened 94 representatives from agency regional offices (AROs), government-owned or -controlled corporations (GOCCs), state universities and colleges (SUCs), and local government units (LGUs), aimed at promoting a strategic and inclusive approach in the revalidation and updating of the FY 2028 PAPs of the Caraga RDIP. This process will ensure that priority PAPs are aligned with the Region’s development outcomes and targets, as indicated in the Caraga Regional Development Plan-Results Matrices (RDP-RM) 2023-2028 Midterm Update, which serve as inputs to the preparation of AROs’ and SUCs’ FY 2028 budget proposals.

Caraga Regional Development Council (RDC) Vice Chairperson and DEPDev Regional Director Gemima A. Olam underscored the importance of the revalidation/updating of the FY 2028 PAPs of the Caraga RDIP to ensure alignment and consistency with the development priorities articulated in the Caraga Regional Development Plan (RDP) 2023-2028 Midterm Update, which serves as the Region’s development blueprint. She emphasized that the RDIP operationalizes these development priorities by translating them into implementation-ready PAPs. She underscored that the revalidation and updating process enables agencies to reassess commitments, evaluate implementation readiness, and identify high-impact interventions aligned with regional priorities.

Key discussions centered on the Regional Guidelines for the Revalidation of the RDIP and its corresponding Guidance Notes for AROs, SUCs, and GOCCs. Highlighted also in the discussions is the process for aligning the FY 2028 PAPs with the RDP-RM targets for the said fiscal year, using the RDP Monitoring System, as well as the conduct of LGU consultations to validate locally identified critical and high-impact projects.

Through this activity, DEPDev Caraga reaffirmed its commitment to strengthening interagency collaboration and ensuring that the Region’s priority PAPs remain responsive, results-oriented, and aligned to advance innovation and industrialization across key sectors.

𝐊𝐚𝐭𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐧 𝐊𝐨, 𝐊𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐚𝐧 𝐊𝐨: 𝐄𝐝𝐮𝐤𝐚𝐬𝐲𝐨𝐧 𝐓𝐮𝐧𝐠𝐨 𝐬𝐚 𝐌𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐲𝐚 𝐚𝐭 𝐋𝐢𝐠𝐭𝐚𝐬 𝐧𝐚 𝐏𝐚𝐠𝐩𝐚𝐩𝐚𝐬𝐲𝐚

Kaisa ang DEPDev Caraga sa pagdiriwang ng ika-30 anibersaryo ng Girl-Child Week, at buong pusong nakikiisa sa paggunita na naglalayong itaguyod ang proteksyon at gender-fair treatment ng bawat batang babae.

Ang edukasyon ay hindi lamang susi sa kaalaman, ito ay pundasyon ng kalayaan. Sa pamamagitan ng sapat at inklusibong edukasyon, nabibigyang-lakas ang bawat batang babae upang magpasiya para sa sarili, umiwas sa panganib, at abutin ang kanyang mga pangarap nang may dignidad at kumpiyansa.

💜 Kaakibat nito, isinusulong ng DEPDev Caraga ang mga layuning nakapaloob sa Caraga Regional Development Plan 2023–2028 Midterm Update, partikular sa pagpapalakas ng human capital development at pagtataguyod ng gender equality. Sa pamamagitan ng mga programang nagtataguyod ng dekalidad na edukasyon at ligtas na kapaligiran, sinisiguro nating walang batang babae ang maiiwan sa pag-abot ng kanyang buong potensyal.

💜 Sa taong ito, ating pagtibayin:
• Ang karapatan ng batang babae sa dekalidad na edukasyon;
• Ang kanyang kalayaang magpasiya para sa sarili; at
• Ang kanyang proteksyon laban sa anumang anyo ng karahasan at diskriminasyon.

Bilang isang rehiyon na nagtataguyod ng inklusibong kaunlaran, patuloy nating isusulong ang mga programang nagbibigay-boses sa kabataang babae—sapagkat ang kanilang kinabukasan ay kinabukasan ng buong lipunan.

📣 Sama-sama nating ipaglaban:
Karapatan niya. Kinabukasan nating lahat.
