DSWD-7 further strengthened its coordination with the Local Social Welfare and Development Officers (LSWDOs) in Bohol through the 2nd Quarterly Consultation Dialogue held on September 3-4, 2026.
The activity aimed to enhance coordination in the implementation of DSWD programs with the LSWDOs in the province.
In her message, Regional Director Shalaine Marie S. Lucero, CESO III, emphasized that an effective LSWDO is anchored on key foundations, including a clear vision and direction, effective leadership and governance, adequate resources, reliable information systems, and strong partnerships.
She also introduced HAPSAY (Harmonized Actions and Processes for Swift, Accountable Yield), which promotes simplified, faster, transparent, accountable, and client-centered services. She emphasized that HAPSAY is not merely a slogan but a culture of integrating people, programs, resources, and processes to provide more efficient services to clients.
The activity aimed to strengthen collaboration and improve social welfare services in the province of Bohol.
Joining the activity were Assistant Regional Director for Operations Jiah Sayson and newly appointed Policies and Plans Division Chief Lilibeth Cabiara.
