JAGNA, Bohol — The Provincial Government of Bohol (PGBh) continued to support social protection efforts by assisting the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) in the distribution of financial aid to vulnerable households in Jagna.
800 Beneficiaries Receive Financial Assistance
The UPLIFT Assistance Payout was held on August 6, 2026, at the Jagna Cultural Center, benefiting 800 qualified beneficiaries from the Municipality of Jagna. The activity was facilitated by the DSWD in partnership with the Municipal Social Welfare and Development Office (MSWDO). Beneficiaries received financial assistance through the Unified Package for Livelihoods, Industry, Food, and Transport (UPLIFT) Program.
Recipients Identified Through Government Survey
The qualified beneficiaries were identified through a 2024 government survey, allowing eligible households to receive assistance without having to submit a separate application. The approach was designed to make the delivery of government assistance more direct and efficient, particularly for households facing economic challenges.
Strengthening Social Protection in Bohol
The UPLIFT Program aims to provide targeted financial assistance to eligible families and help ease the impact of rising economic challenges. The Jagna payout also reflected the continued partnership between national and local government agencies in bringing social protection programs closer to communities and ensuring assistance reaches households that need it most.
The initiative aligned with the PGBh’s Strategic Change Roadmap, which seeks to build a smart, resilient, inclusive, and sustainable province while supporting the development goals of Bohol Island UNESCO Global Geopark.
