The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) Field Office V-Bicol Region, through the Tara, Basa! Program, has distributed a total of ₱16,438,305 in financial subsidies to 1,352 youth partner-beneficiaries across its implementing areas in the Bicol Region.
The financial assistance covers three key components of the program: cash-for-work, meal allowance, and cash-for-training. These forms of support are provided to eligible college students to help ease some of the financial challenges they face while pursuing their education, while also giving them opportunities to gain meaningful experience through community service.
From May 11 to June 5, 2026, the 20-day implementation engaged qualified students from Education, Social Work, and other allied courses as Tutors and Youth Development Workers (YDWs). The Tutors provided reading literacy interventions to early-grade struggling readers, while the YDWs facilitated parenting sessions for the parents and guardians of participating learners.
Prior to the 20-day implementation, the youth partner-beneficiaries underwent a five-day Capacity Building activity to strengthen their knowledge and prepare them for their respective roles. Through the activity, they received cash-for-training equivalent to the regional minimum wage, along with a meal allowance of ₱ 300 per day. Upon completion of the Capacity Building, they received a total of ₱3,750 in cash-for-training and meal allowance.
During the 20-day implementation, the youth partner-beneficiaries also received a daily cash-for-work rate of ₱435 for their service as Tutors and YDWs.
Across the Bicol Region, the program released a total of ₱11,550,805 in cash-for-training and meal allowances, while providing a total of ₱4,887,810 in cash-for-work assistance.
For its second-year implementation, the Tara, Basa! Program released financial subsidies through LandBank Piso Plus accounts to college students in its various implementing areas: 207 in Daraga, Albay; 150 in Libmanan, Camarines Sur; 189 in Bulan, Sorsogon; 219 in Legazpi City, Albay; 259 in Naga City, Camarines Sur; 93 in Virac, Catanduanes, and 236 in Sorsogon City, Sorsogon.
More than financial support, the Tara, Basa! Program continues to provide young people with opportunities to apply what they learn, serve their communities, and become active partners in building a stronger future for Filipino children and families.
