CSWDO Conducts Intake Assessment and Orientation for UPLIFT Program Beneficiaries 💙❤️
MABALACAT CITY — The City Social Welfare and Development Office (CSWDO) of Mabalacat City conducted an Intake Assessment and Orientation for UPLIFT Program beneficiaries on July 29, 2026, at the CSWDO Main Building, Xevera Lot Only, Brgy. Tabun, as part of the Department of Social Welfare and Development's (DSWD) implementation of the UPLIFT (Unified Package for Livelihoods, Industry, Food, and Transport (UPLIFT) Program).
The intake assessment was facilitated by CSWDO personnel and Social Workers under the supervision of Ms. Elsie Dela Cruz, RSW, Head of Operations, to validate beneficiary information and assess eligibility prior to the release of assistance.
Meanwhile, the program orientation was led by CSWDO Head Ms. Josephine B. Tanglao, RSW, MMPM, who discussed the program guidelines, beneficiary responsibilities, and the procedures for receiving financial assistance under the UPLIFT Program.
During the orientation, beneficiaries were informed of the manual payout process, which begins with identity verification and system encoding, including the registration of their preferred digital payment account through LANDBANK or GCash. This account will be used for the succeeding monthly UPLIFT assistance releases following the initial payout.
Participants were also advised to bring a National ID during the payout, or any valid government-issued identification such as a passport, driver's license, UMID, Postal ID, SSS ID, TIN ID, PhilHealth ID, or NBI Clearance if a National ID is not yet available.
In addition, beneficiaries were oriented that only one UPLIFT assistance is granted per registered household, regardless of the number of families residing in the same house. Household eligibility is determined based on the 2024 Community-Based Monitoring System (CBMS) validation conducted by the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA).
The activity reflects the commitment of the City Social Welfare and Development Office, in partnership with the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), to ensure that qualified beneficiaries are well-informed and properly guided throughout the implementation of the UPLIFT Program, promoting a transparent, organized, and efficient delivery of government assistance.
