The Board of Claims (BOC) conducted a consultation meeting with representatives of the Municipal Social Welfare and Development Offices (MSWDOs) and City Social Welfare and Development Offices (CSWDOs) in Pampanga to strengthen awareness and coordination in the implementation of the Victims Compensation Program (VCP).

Deputy State Prosecutor Alexander Q.

He also highlighted the important role of local social welfare offices in guiding victims and their families and facilitating their access to the program.

The consultation provided an opportunity to clarify concerns on the application process and strengthen coordination between the BOC and local social welfare offices in the Province of Pampanga. Through closer collaboration, the Board seeks to ensure that qualified victims and their beneficiaries are properly informed of the assistance available to them and are provided appropriate guidance in accessing the VCP.

In her closing remarks, Senior Assistant State Prosecutor Anna Noreen T. Devanadera thanked the participants for their active engagement and emphasized the importance of translating the information gained from the consultation into stronger awareness and assistance at the local level.

BOC PROMOTES GENDER-RESPONSIVE WORKPLACE WELLNESS THROUGH STRESS MANAGEMENT AND RESILIENCE

As part of its continuing commitment to Gender and Development (GAD) and the promotion of a healthy, inclusive, and supportive workplace, the Board of Claims (BOC) conducted a stress management session aimed at strengthening the emotional well-being and resilience of its personnel.

The session was facilitated by Dr. Nehemiah Gerold Bangalan, a licensed medical doctor certified in family medicine, who discussed stress management, emotional regulation, grounding techniques, and resilience in the workplace. He emphasized that emotional regulation does not mean suppressing emotions, but rather recognizing, understanding, and managing them in healthy and constructive ways.

The discussion also highlighted the shift from personal resilience to team resilience by developing the ability to regulate one's own emotions and responses to stress. With this, individuals become better equipped to support their colleagues, communicate effectively, and contribute to a more compassionate and collaborative working environment.

Viewed in a GAD perspective, promoting mental and emotional well-being is essential in creating a workplace where personnel, regardless of gender, are encouraged to express themselves, seek support, manage workplace pressures, and participate in an environment founded on respect, empathy, equality, and inclusivity.

The BOC continues to advance its GAD efforts by fostering a gender-responsive workplace that recognizes the well-being of employees as a vital component of effective, inclusive, and compassionate public service.

The activity gathered social workers and personnel from DSWD-managed Centers and Residential Care Facilities (CRCFs) for children and youth nationwide to deepen their understanding of the Victims' Compensation Program and strengthen their capacity to assist eligible clients in accessing compensation and legal remedies provided under Republic Act No. 7309.

The orientation featured Prosecutor Anna Noreen T. Devanadera, Chief for Administration of the DOJ-BOC, who provided a comprehensive discussion on the program's legal framework, eligibility requirements, filing procedures, compensable offenses, available remedies, and special provisions for victims of trafficking, Online Sexual Abuse or Exploitation of Children (OSAEC), and Child Sexual Abuse or Exploitation Materials (CSAEM/CSAM) cases.

In her opening message, CDO Director Rowela F. Hizon underscored the importance of strengthening inter-agency partnerships to ensure that vulnerable children and youth receive the protection, support, and access to justice they deserve. CDO Assistant Director Kaye P. Sacapano, in her closing message, encouraged participants to apply the knowledge gained in delivering responsive, compassionate, and victim-centered services while fostering stronger coordination among partner agencies.

Through this collaborative initiative, the CRCF personnel are now better equipped to guide resident clients through the claims process, empowering victims of violent crimes and abuse to access the compensation, remedies, and justice afforded to them by law.

Together, we continue to uphold the rights, dignity, and welfare of every individual under our care through informed service, meaningful collaboration, and unwavering commitment.
