For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. Matthew 7:8 (CSB)

EMPOWERING THE COMMUNITY

In 2019, Moalboal’s Total Revenue and Receipts was Php 154

million (COA Audit Report 2019). Out of that amount, Moalboal

spent Php 13 million for Social Services and Social Welfare (COA

Audit report 2019), or 8% of its Total Revenue and Receipts.

In DBM’s Internal Revenue Allotment for 2021 budget, Moalboal

has an allocation of Php 125.9 million (DBM website). Assuming it

will continue to collect Php 49 million this year from local revenues,

it will have a total budget of Php 174.9 million. If Moalboal will

allocate 8% of that amount for Social Services and Social Welfare,

then it will have a total budget of Php 14 million, 8% higher than

the previous year.

However, with the nation still coping with the effects of Covid 19

pandemic especially in the tourism industry which has been badly

hit, and where Moalboal draw most of its local revenues from, for

sure Moboal’s collection from local revenue sources would be badly

affected. And when this happens, Moalboal would be forced to cut

down on its expenses: the first to suffer would be the Social Services

and Social Welfare of its constituents.

It is during situations like this that the services of the Community

Center run and managed by Non-government organizations (NGO)

would be very much of help for the people of Moalboal. More than

ever, the partnership with Non-government organizations that could

compliment Moalboal’s programs on Social Services and Social

Welfare for its people is direly needed.

The Community Center would hire well-trained and competent

professionals to provide relief of social problems and social

developmental needs of young adults, children, and their mothers.

It will have a small kitchen that could provide them food, toilet and

bath for hygiene, and sports facilities for recreation. Lectures,

educational fora, and literary, musical, and sports competition

would also be available at the center.

The Community Center would primarily be funded by donations

made through the BenPas Redoble Foundation.
