Attended were 29 Local Social Welfare and Development Officers (LSWDOs) from the first and second districts of Leyte and Samar Province.

This was followed by same activity on July 10, 2019 in Ormoc City with 27 LSWDOs and representatives from the 3rd and 4th Districts of Leyte and also of Biliran Province.  

For Southern Leyte, it was held in Maasin City on July 11, 2019. Another consultation dialogue is set on the third week of July in Eastern Samar.

The highlight of the activity was the discussion on the LISTAHAHAN 3rd Round Household Assessment calendar of activities, its updates, and status on the hiring of field workers. Likewise, there was an open forum for sharing of experiences of LGUs in the past household assessments.

The DSWD likewise set agreements with the local government units as to the field workers’ security as well as logistic support for  the upcoming third round assessment. For Northern Samar and Samar provinces,  these are  still for finalization.
