The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) Field Office VII expressed gratitude to partners for their collaborative efforts over the past year.

“We highly appreciate the partnership and support you have provided for the past years,” said DSWD-7 Regional Director Shalaine Marie Lucero in a statement.

She further underscored that the commitment and willingness of its partners have been instrumental in the mutual success of helping people navigate their lives toward positive transformation and development.

Director Lucero commended partners like the national government agencies (NGAs), local government units (LGUs), civil society organizations (CSOs), academe, media, and private sectors for helping the Department hurdle the daunting task of providing social protection and poverty-reduction solutions for and with the poor, vulnerable, and disadvantaged.

“We hope our partnership and solidarity will continue for us to be able to help our vulnerable sectors rise from their situation,” added Director Lucero.

She said that in 2024, DSWD 7 will embark on another journey with the partners and hopes to create empowered individuals and communities through strengthened and beneficiary-responsive interventions.

Under the leadership of DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian, the agency renewed its commitment to the Filipino people by providing strong social services that will be able to adapt to the changing socio-economic landscape in 2024. ###
