Cagayan de Oro – In line with the celebration of the Holy Week, the Institutional Development Division (IDD), headed by Ms. Portia G. Roldan, OIC – Division Chief, conducted a one day Field Office Staff Recollection held at the DSWD FO 10, 2nd Level Conference Room last April 15, 2014.

The IDD saw the importance of the activity since the management has acknowledged the importance of a holistic personal growth of all employees to be effective advocates of the thrusts of the Department. The IDD has been providing career improvement activities/trainings to the field office staff, but has also considered providing spiritual reinforcement as an important thrust of the Department.

122 Field Office staff refreshed their religious commitments and spiritual rehabilitation through the activity, which was facilitated by Rev. Father Servillano Laurente-Sinoy III, SSP.

The field staff recognized the importance of the recollection as an essential activity they have participated on prior to celebrating the Holy week (April 17-20, 2014) with their respective family.

The Field Office Management, headed by Regional Director, Atty. Araceli F. Solamillo has commended the IDD for coming up with such an activity, and has ensured support for upcoming activities that would further improve the performance of the regional staff, and encouraged the IDD to come up with more unique trainings and activities.
