DSWD Northern Mindanao field workers under Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program try to tame the perilous trail in reaching the Higaonon Tribe community in Minalwang, Claveria, Misamis Oriental. The field workers, who walk for seven hours, prepare the community for the implementation of Modified Conditional Cash Transfer for Indigenous Peoples who are living in ‘geographically isolated disadvantage areas.’ The IPs of Claveria and San Fernando, Bukidnon are the recipients of the pilot implementation of Modified Conditional Cash Transfer for IPs.
