Maayong adlaw ug dayon!

To fulfill its mandate to develop, implement, and coordinate social protection and poverty-reduction solutions for and with the poor, vulnerable, and disadvantaged, the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) Field Office X continues to encourage social and cultural dialogues through this website, with the photos and visual arts capturing the acts of heroism and compassionate service of individuals, groups, and communities.

This platform captures the selfless acts of daily heroes, showing us who we are as Filipinos amid calamities and political, social, and economic challenges.

This website is an avenue for the narratives of our culture, values, and experiences, aimed at improving the welfare and living conditions of fellow Filipinos who strive for a good quality of life, and at protecting the rights of the poor, the vulnerable, and the disadvantaged.

The visual artworks shown through this website explore a range of human experiences and articulate Filipino values that echo the DSWD’s three core values: Maagap at Mapagkalinga, Mahusay, and Matapat.

Through this platform, we at the DSWD Field Office X honor all its workers, partners, beneficiaries, and internal and external stakeholders for their valor and selflessness, even in the face of danger, risks, and difficulties.

Indeed, the unity we have shown in the service of the Filipinos, captured in these photographs and stories, is impressive and worth recognizing.

Daghang Salamat!
