00:00 The DSWD is more concerned about the fight against poverty in the country, especially those who live in the countryside.
00:11 Joshua Garcia reported.
00:13 The situation of some of our countrymen is more serious than any other.
00:20 Particularly those who live in the street dwellers or those who chose to live in the countryside.
00:24 Like Narcy and Aurelia.
00:27 They are lucky if their income is enough to buy groceries and groceries.
00:32 We are just begging.
00:34 Sometimes we earn P50, P200. Sometimes we don't.
00:38 We are just saving P20, P20. P30, P30.
00:41 We are just begging. That's our only income. Just begging.
00:45 Our daily livelihood. Rain and wind. We are just begging.
00:49 That's why the government is trying to solve the problem of poverty in the country.
00:53 Executive Order 52 of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. is here.
00:58 It is about helping families, children and individuals living in the countryside
01:03 and to achieve a just intervention.
01:05 The DSWD's EO 52 is leading the way.
01:08 Other agencies are happy with their off-land access program.
01:12 The DSWD will use tablets and will send in the information of street dwellers.
01:18 It will also follow the full digitalization to achieve a faster service to the agency.
01:23 With this, we can see real-time of our social workers, program implementers,
01:29 the situation, the possible intervention that can be done to the street dwellers we reached out to.
01:36 In this way, the DSWD will be able to better address the needs of each individual.
01:41 For example, if they need to send their families back to their provinces or if they need help from LGUs.
01:47 The DSWD also explained that aside from being the DILG Vice Chair of the Inter-Agency Committee of EO 52,
01:53 other agencies are also included, such as Agriculture, Labor, Health, Education, Budget Department, TESDA, and other branches of the government.
02:01 The Commission on Human Rights is also involved to protect the rights of the people.
02:05 Who wants to stay on the streets?
02:08 Live there and earn a living.
02:10 If the government is giving you an option of work, an option of business,
02:15 you will be given a temporary shelter until we identify the appropriate intervention for you.
02:21 When the agency asked when the Offland Pagabot Program will be completed,
02:25 This is a mainstream program.
02:27 So as long as there are people on the streets, we are here.
02:30 As long as there are people on the streets, there is no stopping.
02:33 As long as there are people who are choosing to stay on the streets, our Offland Pagabot will continue.
02:38 For Narcy and Aurelia, the government is doing a big thing,
02:42 especially for those like them who live on the streets.
02:45 I want to earn a living.
02:47 So that if we can earn a living, we can buy a house.
02:52 I am very thankful if they will give me a job.
02:54 I want a livelihood.
02:56 Why?
02:57 So that I can help my family, my husband and my children.
03:03 Meanwhile, aside from NCR, the program is also targeting major and highly urbanized cities,
03:08 like Central Luzon, Metro Cebu, Metro Davao, Cagayan de Oro, and other places where indigenous people go.
03:15 We will make a clear direction from our government,
03:18 especially from our President, to make sure that our fellow countrymen on the streets will be reached as soon as possible.
03:27 As soon as we can, we will.
03:29 Joshua Garcia, for the nation.
03:31 Barsobaya.
