For 11 years now, the North Luzon Baptist Pastors and Preachers Fellowship Ilocos Sur Chapter has always been passionate in working with the DSWD Field Office 1 – 4Ps. It has been helping decrease the number of children not attending school and promoting strengthened family ties through Family and Youth Development Session, counseling, and home visitation.
With this blazing urge to serve the 4Ps beneficiaries and share a goal with DSWD Field Office 1, the North Luzon Baptist Pastors and Preachers Fellowship Ilocos Sur Chapter was hailed as the Regional Winner of the 2024 Search for 4Ps Best Volunteer Group Year 2.
Provincial Director Pastor Roger A. Ribucan (fifth from the left, first lane) expressed his heartfelt gratitude to the DSWD Field Office 1 – 4Ps for the recognition. “Nagpapasalamat kami at gagawin namin ang lahat ng aming makakaya para makatulong sa programa dito sa Ilocos Sur. Salamat sa inyong pagtitiwala (We are grateful and we will do the best we can to be of help to the program here in Ilocos Sur. Thank you for the trust),” he uttered.
Meanwhile, Partnership of Indispensable Ministries Establishing the Nation of Binalonan, Pangasinan; Pastor ng Panginoon for Moral Spiritual Transformation Ilocos Norte Chapter; and Live Christ Share Christ Movement of the City of San Fernando, La Union were proclaimed as Runners-Up respectively.
“Kami po ay buong pusong nagpapasalamat sa lahat ng inyong ginagawa para sa ating mga benepisyaryo. Taos puso ninyong ibinibigay ang inyong serbisyo para sa kapakanan ng ating mga benepisyaryo at hindi po ito mapapantayan ng kahit anong materyal na bagay (We wholeheartedly thank you for everything that you do for our beneficiaries. You sincerely give your service for the welfare of our beneficiaries and it cannot be matched by any material thing),” 4Ps Division Chief Rosalyn L. Descallar shared.
