B. SOCIAL PROTECTION SERVICES

1. PantawidPamilyang Pilipino Program

 The number of registered households, as compared with the 2013 data
which is 214,376, increased to 229,793 resulting from the registration of
beneficiaries under Set 7, validation/late registration of the beneficiaries tagged
as DNACA and/or NOT REGISTERED in the PantawidPamilya Information
System (PPIS), and beneficiaries who moved in from other region. The
Expanded Age Coverage also contributed to the raise in the number of registered
households since it caused reinstatement of households previously tagged as “no
0-14”.
Based on the distribution of households by province, 74,957 or 33%
comes from Cotabato Province, 45,031 or 20% from Sultan Kudarat Province,

2. Kapit-Bisig Laban Sa Kahirapan-Comprehensive and Integrated Delivery of

Social Services (KALAHI-CIDSS)

 AusAid/DFAT Implementation

The implementation of the nine funded sub-projects from 2013 had been
completed this year. These nine sub-projects were specific to the municipalities
of Magpet,Tboli and Isulan. It should be noted that many of the originally
identified sub-projects had not been funded at the time due funding constraints
vis-à-vis the number of non-prioritized SPs proposed. However, these 32 sub-
projects had been processed for funding this year, since AusAid/DFAT had given
additional funding for the Program. The originally submitted proposals were
reviewed and additional requirements had been submitted. These requirements,
such as the MDRRMC and MEO certificates, were submitted in conjunction with
the LGUs of the proposed sub-projects. Geotagging and site revalidation had also
been completed despite unfavorable weather conditions that led to the delay of the
conduct of the aforementioned activities.
  PAMANA Implementation

There are three active municipalities for PAMANA this 2014, the
municipalities of Arakan, Libungan and Pikit. All three municipalities have
completed all CEAC activities and sub-projects for Cycle 2 and is implementing
Cycle 3. Sub-projects funded under PAMANA is supposed to be completed this
December 2014. However, due to an issue regarding compliance with COA, the
NPMO had issued a memorandum this December 2014 that remaining grants for
the sub-projects cannot be downloaded until COA requirements had been
complied.

 BUB Implementation

The implementation of BUB/GPBP sub-projects are underway. Some

sub-projects had been completed this quarter while still others are on-going. The
Regional Office had hired additional GPBP personnel and in the context of the
start-up of NCDDP, provision of technical assistance to LGUs and monitoring of
these sub-projects are set to change from Kalahi-CIDSS personnel to the GPBP
hired personnel. To facilitate the smooth transition, KC personnel provided
coaching and technical assistance to the GPBP hired personnel and turned the all
the pertinent documents over to them. For the signatories, some GPBP sub-
project who are nearing completion had been retained by KC personnel to
facilitate implementation and reduce delays.

 KC-NCCDP Implementation

There were 17 identified municipalities under KC-NCDDP for Region

XII. These municipalities all underwent the enrollment process and submitted
pertinent documents necessary for the Program engagement. Out of 17, one
municipality, Carmen from Cotabato Province, chose to defer the implementation
of the Program for a year. This municipality is slated to start Cycle 1
implementation in February of 2015. The rest of the identified municipalities
(detailed in the table listing the areas for Region XII) have already started
implementation. ACTs had been deployed to all 16 municipalities in September
2014 to continue facilitating some details on enrollment of their respective
municipalities.

 Sub-Project Implementation

Google Cloud is being stringently utilized for real time updating of the
status of the sub-projects’ RFRs to the areas. Areas are also informed via text
message that findings about their SPs are available for viewing on cloud.

was not yet completed due to the delayed payment of LGUs since they were

LGU particularly in South Cotabato province declared unavailability of funds for
their CIU clients, hence the Region has to respond and augment.

people. More than 30 million Filipinos live in areas that may experience winds of
120 km/h or higher. More than a million people are affected. The delivery of
food, water, medicines and other basic needs to the most heavily affected areas
was the priority of the government. Thus, FO XII immediately responded to the
request of Central office to augment and transport relief goods to the Region VIII.
Eight (8) staff from the region were deployed to conduct Rapid Damage
Assessment and Needs Analysis (RDANA) teams to assess damages caused by
the typhoon in Regions IV-B, VI, and VIII to support the efforts of DSWD
Central Office. Aside from damage assessment, their tasks also include gathering
of information on the hard-to-reach affected areas, to ensure that everybody is
assisted. Another set of staff were deployed to escort or transport the relief goods
as augmentation to affected families in Region VIII. Volunteers from different
organization or groups, other agencies were mobilized during the repacking of
goods.

Hereunder are the assistance provided to the disaster affected families:

11. Residential/Non-Residential Services

A. Group Home for Girls (GHG)

Home for Girls is now on 8th year of operations since the establishment in
Koronadal, South Cotabato last April 2006. The South Cotabato Provincial
Government is paying the monthly rental of the two building as their counterpart.
The two (2) building have the capacity of 20 occupants but due to increasing
number of admittance, we cater more than 30 residents per month which is
beyond the capacity limit. To sum- up the cases served since 2006, the center was
able to served 283 from the different forms of abuses wherein the highest number
is child trafficking coming from Maguindanao province followed by Incest cases
from municipalities of Region 12, then rape cases and other forms of abuses. We
responded smoothly our residents because we had established good partner with
the LGU, NGO, GO and private Individuals in augmenting our resource
generation. Thus, the immediate construction of Home for Girls building is highly
recommended to cater more clients and sustain efficient operation of the center.

B. Recreation and Study Center for Children (RSCC)
