DSWD Peace and Development Buong Bansa Mapayapa

Sa panayam kay Dir. Miramel Garcia Laxa, pinuno ng National Program of PDBBM sa ilalim ng DSWD sa programang Binagong Buhay sa Adventist World Radio, ibinahagi niya kung paano mas pinabuti at pinalakas ng Social Case Management Service ang pagtulong ng gobyerno sa mga former rebels at Friends Rescued.

Dati, sapat na ang pag-abot ng serbisyo — ngayon, kasama nila ang mga case managers at social workers sa bawat hakbang. Hindi sila iniiwan matapos mabigyan ng tulong; sa halip, patuloy silang sinusubaybayan at ginagabayan mula sa unang araw hanggang sa panahong kaya na nilang tumayo sa sariling paa — ganap na naghilom, nakabangon, at muling nakapag-integrate sa kanilang mga komunidad.

LOOK: Two associations of Former Members of Non-State Armed Groups (FMNSAGs) in the far-flung communities of Purok 5, Barangay Malungon, Makilala, Cotabato, and Sitio Tangis, Barangay Datal Anggas, Alabel, Sarangani, have launched their microenterprises, bringing new economic opportunities closer to communities that have long faced limited access to basic social services.

Each association received ₱300,000 in livelihood assistance from DSWD Field Office XII, in partnership with OPAPRU, the AFP, and the provincial, municipal, and barangay governments.

Located in geographically isolated and disadvantaged areas, these communities face a higher risk of poverty, limited economic opportunities, and other challenges that may increase their vulnerability to the influence and recruitment efforts of armed groups.

Through the Whole-of-Nation Approach, the government brings livelihood opportunities and essential support closer to these communities, helping strengthen their resilience, reduce their vulnerability, and build a stronger foundation for lasting peace.

TINGNAN: Nakipag-ugnayan ang mga kawani ng Peace and Development Buong Bansa Mapayapa (PDBBM) Program ng DSWD Field Office XII sa Department of Agriculture (DA) Regional Office XII upang makahanap ng angkop na tulong pangkabuhayan para sa mga benepisyaryong decommissioned combatants.

Layunin ng pakikipag-ugnayang ito na mabigyan ang mga benepisyaryo ng mga programang pang-agrikultura na makatutulong sa pagkakaroon nila ng sariling pagkakakitaan. Sa pamamagitan nito, nais silang matulungan na magkaroon ng mas maayos at matatag na kabuhayan para sa kanilang pamilya at kinabukasan.

Tinitingnan din ng mga ahensya ang kanilang kakayahan, pangangailangan, at mga oportunidad sa kanilang lugar upang matiyak na ang maibibigay na tulong ay angkop, kapaki-pakinabang, at magagamit nila sa pangmatagalan.

𝗜𝗡 𝗣𝗛𝗢𝗧𝗢𝗦 | The Department of Social Welfare and Development Field Office X (DSWD-10) reinforced its commitment to strengthening gender-responsive social protection services by serving as resource persons during the three-day Training on Gender-Responsive Case Management and Women-Friendly Space conducted by the Local Government Unit of Iligan City on July 27–29, 2026.

Social workers and technical personnel from DSWD-10 facilitated learning sessions designed to enhance the knowledge and skills of social workers, Women and Children Protection Desk (WCPD) Officers, and Violence Against Women (VAW) Desk Officers in providing survivor-centered, trauma-informed, and gender-responsive case management services.

The training also equipped participants with practical strategies in establishing and managing Women-Friendly Spaces that offer protection, psychosocial support, and empowerment for women and girls, particularly survivors of gender-based violence and individuals in vulnerable situations.

Through interactive workshops, case analysis, and guided discussions, DSWD-10 shared technical expertise on rights-based approaches to case management, enabling participants to strengthen their capacity to deliver compassionate, responsive, and gender-sensitive interventions. Participants also exchanged experiences in handling cases of violence against women, fostering peer learning and improving local case management practices.

The activity brought together frontline responders from various agencies, highlighting the importance of inter-agency collaboration and an effective referral system in ensuring timely, coordinated, and holistic services for survivors of gender-based violence.

By providing technical assistance and capacity-building support to local government units, DSWD-10 continues to promote stronger protection mechanisms and empower frontline service providers to uphold the rights, dignity, and well-being of women, children, and other vulnerable sectors across Northern Mindanao.

Every parent wants the same thing—a safe future where their children can grow, learn, and dream without fear. For families affected by armed conflict, that future begins with opportunity.

On 24 July 2026, the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) Field Office X, through the Social Technology Unit in partnership with the Sustainable Livelihood Program (SLP), conducted a Livelihood and Skills Training for Families of Children Involved in Armed Conflict (CIAC) in San Fernando, Bukidnon.

Parents and caregivers participated in sessions on micro-enterprise development, financial education, and hog raising and production management—practical skills that can help them build sustainable livelihoods, increase family income, and create a more secure future for their children.

The training forms part of DSWD Field Office X's continuing commitment to uphold the rights and welfare of Children Involved in Armed Conflict through interventions that are rights-based, child- and gender-sensitive, trauma-informed, client-centered, and anchored on a whole-of-government approach.

Through the PEACE Project for CIAC, DSWD Field Office X promotes livelihood and education as pathways to peacebuilding, conflict resolution, and the prevention of the recruitment and re-recruitment of children into armed conflict. By empowering families with opportunities and hope, the project helps create safer homes, stronger communities, and brighter futures where every child can thrive beyond conflict.
