More vulnerable families and individuals in street situations (FISS) will be protected from hazardous incidents as the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) is set to open a new Pag-abot Program processing center in Bacoor City, Cavite.
The DSWD, through its Field Office 4-A, signed a Deed of Usufruct Agreement with the Bacoor city government to establish the facility, spokesperson Irene Dumlao said Tuesday.
The agreement, signed March 9 by regional officials and Mayor Strike Revilla, grants temporary rights to set up the center in Barangay Poblacion.
The center will conduct outreach operations and provide immediate aid, social protection services, and long-term interventions to people living on the streets.
Launched in 2023 and institutionalized in 2024 through Executive Order No. 52, the program offers services such as medical aid, food, relocation support, livelihood, and shelter assistance.
