DSWD Regional Director Remia Tapispisan said that by signing the MOA the Local Government Units did not only concur with the duties and responsibilities stipulated in it which includes: a.) ensure that education and health services required by the program are available and adequate for beneficiaries within the duration of the program, b.)establish an efficient recording system in all health facilities that will allow faster retrieval of compliance data and timely submission of compliance reports, c.) organize and regularly convene a City/Municipal Advisory Committee that will oversee the implementation of Pantawid Pamilya in the city/municipality; but, the LGU also agree to ensure that no child is deprived of their right to have better opportunities in the future by presently fulfilling two of their basic rights: health and education.

“We in the DepEd, specifically at the Bagamanoc South District believe that the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program had contributed a lot in our journey towards the attainment of the Education for All Agenda,” Public School District Supervisor, Ms. Brenda Villarey shared during the Convergence Caravan held in Bagamanoc, Catanduanes last April 19, 2012. “Comparing the district performance indicators for the last three (3) school years, there is a notable increase in our participation, survival and completion rate; and we only have seven (7) drop-outs for school year 2011-2012. This is an achievement which I am very proud of. I can say this is all because of the Pantawid Pamilya,” she added.
