QUEZON CITY (PIA) — The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) marked the International Day of Families (IDF) on Thursday, May 15, by launching the “Pamilya sa Bagong Pilipinas Registry Portal,” a pioneering online and mobile platform aimed at transforming how Filipino families access government services.
As chair of the National Committee on the Filipino Family (NCFF), the social welfare department is leading this year’s IDF celebration with the local theme “Polisiyang Makapamilya Tungo sa Higit na Matatag, Maginhawa, at Panatag na Pamilyang Pilipino.” This theme echoes the Marcos administration’s push for a “Bagong Pilipinas,” where policies are centered on family well-being and inclusive development.
At the core of the celebration is the launching of a user-friendly portal where individuals can register, verify their information, and explore the range of programs that may qualify them for both financial and non-financial assistance.
“We want to modernize how services are delivered, streamline processes, and make government assistance more accessible. Through this online platform, users can self-register, verify their information, and access a wide range of available services,” DSWD Assistant Secretary Irene Dumlao said.
The registry also aligns with the Marcos administration’s broader goal to automate 90 percent of government transactions, streamlining public service delivery while ensuring data-driven profiling and targeting.
Through this new system, registered users will gain access to a personalized dashboard showing eligibility for various assistance programs, enhancing both empowerment and transparency in the delivery of social services.
Aside from the registry launch, a forum on family-centered policy making will be held, bringing together government officials, stakeholders, and advocates to discuss holistic approaches in supporting Filipino families across socio-economic sectors.
The International Day of Families is celebrated every May 15 as declared by the United Nations General Assembly. It serves as a global reminder of the vital role families play in nation-building and sustainable development.
