LESSON

Perspectives of Community at the Local and Grassroots Levels

When we say local and grassroots levels we are talking about the lowest levels
of political and social organizations. They are closer to the general population which
is why their roles in the community development process are very crucial. Urban
communities are commonly located in cities. Barangay is lowest governmental unit
that serve as bridge in the delivery and facilitations of programs for development.
In this module we will try to analyze how community is being viewed at the
local and grassroots levels as reflected in selected programs that will be discussed.
These programs and projects are implemented by concerned sectors in the locality.

Local Youth and Child Welfare Programs

Scholarship Programs

As a recognition of the significance of the part young individuals will play in

the future of every community the local government unit made attempts to promote
their welfare. One of the programs for youth development is the provision of
scholarships to selected and qualified students from the elementary to college levels.
This is on top of the supports provided to schools by the LGU like the construction
of school buildings and other assistance for the smooth delivery of education services
to the communities.

In the city of Pasig there are about thirteen thousand scholarship grants that
were made available to the students. The city government announced in 2019 the
changes in the program removing other requirements for the renewal of the
scholarship. Instead they will be required to just render community services that will
be scheduled on the day and time that will not affect their school works and activities.
A whopping 400 million was allocated for the program.

Bahay Pag-Asa.

It is an institution where children in conflict with the law (CICL) are sent for
rehabilitation. The program is run by social workers and most are supported by the
local government units. The CICL will
stay in the facility to undergo the process
of rehabilitation. They are also given skills
development training to enable a smooth
process of integration to the society when
they leave the facility.

This is a display of respect to the

idea that minors who violate laws must
be helped and should not be confined to
the detentions for criminals. Under the
laws of the country minors are exempted
from any criminal liabilities but need to
undergo rehabilitation program in an institution to make them functional members
of the society.

World Vision. It is an international NGO that provides program for overall growth of
the children in the community. Included in its programs is the scholarship grants to
children through donations from numerous sponsors around the world. To make the
program effective the NGO worked with their local staff and families.

The World Vision was founded

in 1950 by Rev. Robert Pierce, an
American Baptist minister to serve as
a service group to meet the emergency
needs of Christian missionaries.
Development work, especially in the
poor countries was added in its
programs in 1975.

Local Environmental Programs

The city of Pasig has been an active

advocate of environmental programs at
the grassroots level. Together with eight
other Southeast Asian cities the city has
been working with the ICLEI to develop
and model climate action planning from
the grassroots levels.

One of the key strategies was to

involve community level stakeholders Pasigcity.gov.ph
through a system of consultations and
workshops. The program encourages active participation of people from sectors and
walks of life. Included in the activities are the variety of sustainable initiatives such
as solid waste management program, urban gardening and inclusive urban planning.
The city started the Greenheart Savers Program which is active in all public
schools as part of raising awareness on environmental issues among the students.
The program also encourages recycling in which those who will be actively
participating are given rewards.

Local Peace and Order Programs

The Anti-Drug Abuse Council of Pasig (ADCOP)

Drug addiction and trafficking are among the major causes of criminality in
many communities. Many heinous crimes are associated with drug abuse which is
why anti-drug abuse campaigns are part of the efforts of the LGU in fighting
criminality.
Through relevant ordinances
the ADCOP was provided with
necessary capabilities to implement
programs within the locality. There is
a system of rehabilitation and other
supports provided to victims and
violators of drug related laws and
ordinances.

Project Tagamasid ng Pasig

The project was launch in response to the call of the national government to
intensify efforts in eradicating the drug related problems in the city. It is meant to
encourage civilians to join the fight against the social menace. The government look
at the active and collective participation of community people as an effective tool in
the success of anti-drug campaigns.

Groups were formed by concerned citizens in the efforts of cleaning up the

community of any issues on drug addiction and peddling. It is a collective efforts at
the community level in which the people are encouraged to report activities of drug
pushers in their area while ensuring their protection. It also engages the barangay
government for stronger anti-drug efforts.
