LEGAZPI CITY — The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) regional office in Bicol announced Friday a vacancy for 329 validators and 114 administrative aides.
Arnel Garcia, regional director of DSWD-Bicol, said those who would be hired would be tasked to validate recipients of the Unconditional Cash Transfer (UCT), to be deployed in the six provinces of the region.
He explained that “unlike the Pantawid Pamilya Pilipino Program, which has certain conditions on health and education of children, the UCT is an outright subsidy to the poor that will alleviate the impact of the excise tax on fuel and sugar products.
“Validators will be waged at PHP50 per validated form while administrative aides will receive PHP11,200 monthly,” Garcia said.
The DSWD is now accepting applications for the said vacancies, he added.
Interested applicants may submit the documentary requirements which include a letter of intent and CS Form 212 or the Personal Data Sheet directly to DSWD Regional Office, Buraguis, Legazpi City c/o Records Section or via electronic mail to [email protected] on or before March 2, 2018.
Furthermore, the DSWD is set to conduct orientations regarding the UCT validation before its implementation in March.
“We will closely coordinate with the LGUs and keep them involved for the smooth implementation of this validation,” Garcia said.
He also said that a new project management office for the UCT will be formed to focus on the payroll preparation and distribution of cash grants.
The DSWD aims to finish the validation process in May and targets to distribute the cash grants to the Listahanan identified poor this coming June. (PNA)
