The Field Office organized the assembly to inform the LGUs about newly implemented programs and services of the Department. One of the topics discussed was i-Registro, a new digital platform for updating the records of Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) beneficiaries.
In addition to the 4Ps and other programs, the Department introduced the Bahay Silungan Community Center, one of the 14 Center/Residential Care Facilities (CRCF), managed by FO – NCR.
