Davao City Rep. Paolo Duterte on Monday pushed for the passage of a measure institutionalizing the involvement of marginalized communities
Duterte said the enactment of House Bill 500 will help address poverty at the grassroots level.
“Allowing them to identify, plan, budget, and implement small development projects will not only give them a sense of empowerment, but would also ensure that they maintain and sustain these projects well. Since they are involved in all the aspects of the project implementation, they would make sure that their hard work would not go to waste,” he added.
HB 500 is derived from the Kapit-Bisig Laban sa Kahirapan–Comprehensive and Integrated Delivery of Social Services program of the Department of Social Welfare and Development , which has pioneered and sustained this World Bank-assisted initiative in selected poor municipalities in the country.
