A MUST READ FOR SENIOR CITIZENS OR FOR FAMILIES WITH SENIOR CITIZENS

Qualified senior citizens must see to it that they apply again for the Social Program for Indigent Senior Citizens (SPISC) to be included in the list that will be submitted by the City Social Welfare and Development Office (CSWDO) to the Department of Social welfare and Development (DSWD) Regional Office 8 in Tacloban City.

JANUARY 19: A DATE TO BEAT

Senior citizens must apply again for the Social Program for Indigent Senior Citizens (SPISC) in their respective barangays.

This was revealed by City Social Welfare and Development Officer of the City of Baybay, Ms. Loreta Malabanan in an interview with the “Nasayod ka ba, Bai?” News Team.

Ms. Malabanan explained that the re-application of the senior citizens to the SPISC was mandated by the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD).

This is to clean the list of the SPISC beneficiaries off disqualified senior citizens.

According to the former DSWD Secretary Corazon “Dinky” Soliman, “Qualified to receive the P500 monthly stipend are senior citizens who are frail, sickly, or have disabilities; are not receiving pension from Social Security System (SSS), Government Service Insurance System (GSIS), or Veterans Pension; and do not have a permanent source of income or regular support from relatives.”

In this connection, Ms. Malabanan is reminding the Barangay Captains and the Kagawad In-charge of the Committee on Social Services that they must submit the application forms signed by their respective senior citizens to the City Social Welfare and Development Office (CSWDO) on or before January 19, 2018.

Ms. Malabanan added that they must interview the senior citizens in their respective barangays the soonest possible time.  She also reminded the senior citizens to see to it that they sign the documents used by the Kagawad In-charge during the interview.

Malabanan reiterated that failure to submit the documents signed by the senior citizens, who had re-applied for the SPISC to their office, on January 19, 2018, means that their names won’t be included in the list that they will submit to the DSWD Region 8 for funding.

IN Cebuano

Kinahanglan nga mag-apply pag-usab ang mga senior citizens ‘ning dakbayan sa Baybay alang sa Social Program for Indigent Senior Citizens (SPISC) sa kagamhanan didto sa sa ilang tagsa-tagsa ka mga Barangay Hall.

Kini aron matangtang na sa listahan sa mga Senior SPISC beneficiaries ang mga senior citizens nga dili kuwalipikado niining maong programa sa gobyerno.

Mao kini ang gibutyag ni City Social Welfare and Development Officer Mrs. Loreta Malabanan sa City Social Welfare (CSWDO) ‘ning dakbayan.

Matud pa ni Malabanan nga gikan sa Department of Social Welfare and Development Office (DSWD) ang mando nga pa-aplayon pag-usab ang mga senior citizens aron pagseguro nga kadto lamang mga senior citizens nga walay gidawat nga laing pension ang makadawat sa social pension gikan sa kagamhanan.

Nunot niini, gi-awhag ni Malabanan ang mga Kagawad In-Charge sa Committee on Social Services sa matag barangay sa pagkuha na sa CSWDO sa porma nga ilang gamiton sa pag-interview sa mga senior citizens sa ilang barangay.

Gibutyag usab ni Malabanan nga kinahanglan nga ilang ma-interview ang mga senior citizens sa ilang barangay sa labing dali nga panahon.

Kini tungod kay ang dili makasumiti sa mga porma nga gi-fill-apan sa mga senior citizens sa Enero 19 ‘ning tuiga, dili na mahilakip sa ilang isumite nga listahan didto sa DSWD Region 8 aron mapangayo-an og pondo.

Gipahinumdoman usab ni Malabanan ang mga senior citizens nga duha (2) ka mga porma ang ilang fill-upan human sila ma-interview sa ilang tagsa-tagsa ka mga Kagawad In-Charge sa Committee on Social Services.

Alang sa dugang kasayuran bisita lang sa City Social Welfare and Development Office (CSWDO) nga anaa mahimutang likod sa General Services Office (GSO) ug pangitaa lang si CSWD Officer Ms. Loreta Malabanan.
