DSWD-7 conducts one-stop shop information service caravan

CEBU, Philippines - In time for its 63rd anniversary, the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) conducted a two-day one-stop shop information service caravan for its 912 employees.

“This is the first of its kind that we have conducted in the history of DSWD wherein we invited various government agencies to give briefing about their services,” said DSWD-7 Human Resource Officer Jaybee Binghay.

“We have invited representatives from PhilHealth, Pag-IBIG, SSS and GSIS to present updates regarding their services and to answer different queries from our employees,” Binghay added.

For this year, DSWD will enroll its 757 contract of service employees to become member of the said pension and insurance funds.

“We will have a mandatory deduction from their salary so that we could enroll them and eventually enjoy different benefits like health, housing and even pension,” she emphasized.

Aside from the information caravan, DSWD also facilitated an Annual Physical Examination to its employees. — Contributed by Kerwin Macopia (FREEMAN)
