Mayor Oscar Malapitan announced that the Department of Social Welfare and Development has given the city social development center–Tahanang Mapagkalinga in the northern part of Caloocan–Level 1 accreditation.
A letter to Malapitan from DSWD-Standards Bureau Director Marites Maristela noted that “the local government unit has met the delivery of quality services for the welfare of the disadvantaged clients, geared toward family reunification.”
“This accreditation shows that my administration is prioritizing the quality care and protection of orphaned and abandoned children,” the mayor said
Tahanang Mapagkalinga scored high in organizational and management, human resource development, helping process, case recording and documentation, homelife atmosphere, facilities and accommodation, educational services and medical-psychological-dental services in DSWD’s assessment.
Malapitan congratulated Roberto Quizon, oversight committee head of the CSWD, for meeting high standards for shelter services for the disadvantaged.
