The Department of Social Welfare and Development is in need of more than 4,000 field workers to work on updating the list of poor households in the CALABARZON Region.
The second round of household assessment of poor households under DSWD’s Listahanan targeting system is slated to be conducted this year. The first round of the said assessment was conducted in 2009 and has identified 389,811 poor households in the region.
The Listahahan is an information management system that identifies who and where the poor are in the Philippines. It creates a database of poor households, which serves as the basis for the identification of beneficiaries for social protection programs of DSWD such as the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program and Social Pension for Indigent Senior Citizens as well as programs of other national government agencies and local government units such as PhilHealth.
Among the field staff needed by the Field Office alone are 128 area coordinators, 639 area supervisors and 3,197 enumerators. The said staff will be deployed in different municipalities / cities in the region to do house to house assessment of poor households.
The agency is also in need of 344 encoders and 344 verifiers, who will be stationed in DSWD Field Office IV-A, Alabang, Muntinlupa City.
Interested individuals may forward their application to their local social welfare and development office or directly to DSWD Field Office IV-A.
