LEGAZPI CITY, Aug 8 (PIA) – The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) Bicol urges talented musicians in the region to join the first Songwriting Contest with community driven development (CDD) as the central theme.
“We would like to engage the public to appreciate CDD by coming up with a song which simplifies the message of success in engaging ordinary citizens to participate in the planning, implementation and management of resources for local development,” DSWD Bicol Director Arnel Garcia said.
Song entries must incite the public’s interest to build appreciation and support towards the programs.
CDD is the approach used by the DSWD in its poverty reduction programs.
Among these programs are the KALAHI CIDSS-NCDDP and Payapa at Masaganang Pamayanan (PAMANA) implemented in the region since 2003.
DSWD Bicol information officer Jesseshan Marbella said the selection of the winning theme song will be based on originality, public appeal, musical composition and lyrics and its relevance to the theme.
The contest, said Marbella, is open to all Bicolano amateur and professional songwriters with a band who will interpret the composition.
The entry form and contest mechanics can be downloaded via DSWD regional website using the link: http://www.fo5.dswd.gov.ph/downloads/.
The deadline of submission of entries is on September 17, 2014.
“There will be an initial screening on September 30, 2014 to identify the top five qualifiers for the live performance during the grand finals scheduled on October 18, 2014 to be held in Legazpi City,” Marbella added.
The grand winner, to receive P30,000 cash prize, will record their original composition with the DSWD.
The other top four qualifiers will receive a consolation prize of 5,000 each.
The songs featured in DSWD 5’s Facebook fan page with the most number of likes will also receive 5,000.
“For other details of the contest, please call (052) 4805754 or text me at 09173747003,” Marbella said.
KALAHI CIDSS or Kapit-Bisig Laban sa Kahirapan-Comprehensive and Integrated Delivery of Social Services puts the power back in the hands of the people by giving them the opportunity to make informed decisions on locally identified options for development and manage resources to implement sub-projects that address needs identified by communities themselves.
On the other hand, PAMANA project under its second pillar is implemented by DSWD to facilitate the delivery of basic services at the community level through CDD, and community livelihood interventions.
Both KALAHI CIDSS NCDDP and PAMANA aim to reduce poverty, empower communities and improve local governance.
In these programs, community residents consensually decide on what type of poverty-reduction projects they prioritize for funding based from the collective analysis of their needs.
Community proposals can vary from public goods/access projects, enterprise or livelihood projects or human development projects.
KALAHI CIDSS-NCDDP is one of the core social protection programs of DSWD along with Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (Pantawid) and Sustainable Livelihood Program (SLP) (AAN/SAA-PIA5/Albay)
