EPAHP X links SLP associations to Camiguin LGU-run centers

Fourteen Sustainable Livelihood Program Associations of the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) Field Office X have started to supply goods and food needs of the three Camiguin LGU-run centers for its clientele. 

The associations delivered the goods and food to Catarman District Hospital, Camiguin Youth Welfare Home, and Camiguin Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center after DSWD Field Office X Regional Director Ramel F. Jamen and Camiguin Governor Xavier Jesus D. Romualdo signed a memorandum of agreement on June 23 last year, together with 25 national government agencies for the Enhanced Partnership Against Hunger and Poverty (EPAHP) X, linking and tapping the associations to supply the food requirements of the facilities run by the Provincial Government of Camiguin. EPAHP X’s Regional Program Coordinator, Mariecarl Monteroso, and the SLP Project Development Officers and Partnership Officers linked the associations for the food requirements of the clients inside the centers. 

These facilities provide daily meals for the clients. The Camiguin LGU would save time, fuel, and effort in going to the market and, at the same time, would help the SLPA beneficiaries in Camiguin to ensure the sustainability of their livelihood projects. The associations include Cuna Subucan Grower SLPA, Catohuganian SLPA, Binaliwan Sweet SLPA, Bangon Poblacion SLPA, Urchin SLPA, Manuyog Hot Mama SLPA, Poblacion Zamora SLPA, Bonbon 2023 SLPA, Aktibo Maac SLPA, Greeni SLPA, Mary Grace Maamo, Benonian Mussel SLPA, and other SLPA individual members based in Camiguin province. They supply chicken, pork, fish, vegetables, spices, and condiments.
