Lee and United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Country Director Renaud Meyer, leads the groundbreaking ceremony for a multi-purpose building which will be constructed in Barangay Guruyan, Juban, Sorsogon.
The DSWD has provided P500,000 to the local government unit for the construction of the multi-purpose facility, which will be used as day care center, women’s center, senior citizens center, evacuation center and for other community activities.
The construction of the multi-purpose facility is part of the DSWD-UNDP Bicol Recovery Project, a two-year program designed to assist families and communities severely affected by the series of typhoons that hit the Bicol Region since 2006. The components of the project are provision of shelter assistance, livelihood support, technical and vocational skills and capability building on disaster preparedness and mitigation.
Some 570 families from the provinces of Albay, Camarines Sur and Sorsogon are currently benefiting from the DSWD-UNDP Bicol Recovery Project.

Social Welfare and Development Acting Secretary Celia Capadocia-Yangco emphasized the vital role played by day care workers (DCWs) as surrogate parents to children in their formative years, during the National Day Care Workers Consultation Conference held recently at Bohol Plaza Resort , Panglao Island.
“The stage at which children are entrusted to a day care worker is the most crucial period in their lives, since in essence, they are being pulled out of their comfort zone, thus, great care should be exercised to ensure that they are provided a nurturing environment to stimulate and kindle their natural curiosity and innate talent. The day care center should be regarded as a friendly and embracing second home,” Acting Secretary Yangco disclosed.
