The
caravan was initiated by the San Carlos Diocesan Social Action Foundation, Inc.
in coordination with the Office of the Ombudsman in the Visayas. The
partnership also involves San Carlos City's local government, Philippine
Minnesotan Medical Mission, and the San Carlos Medical Society.
There was a ceremonial turnover of checks to beneficiaries of
Cash for Work Program by Department of Social Welfare and Development Regional
Director Minda B. Brigoli.
According
to Caravan Project Coordinator Evangeline Nuñal, Associate Graft Investigating
Officer of the Ombudsman's Office, the activity's rationale is to commit to
public service and this is in line with the Ombudsman's principle of reaching
out to the people for them to be aware of the services offered by the different
government agencies.
When the
program was about to end, Hon. Julio "Jules" A. Ledesma IV,
Congressman of the First District, province of Negros Occidental arrived late
at the City Auditorium. He said during
his turn to give a special message that he promised to support the caravan of
social services so that it can keep going as much as possible to be twice a
year.
