When street vendor Arya Sante from Barangay 23-C asked, “We work hard every day, but what happens if we get sick or can’t earn?” – she spoke for thousands of excluded families in Davao.
Now there’s an answer.
Fifty-nine residents from Barangays 21-C, 22-C, 23-C and 76-A Bucana took the first step on January 10 and 24, 2026, joining a new social protection program that’s bringing real security to communities often left behind.
THE IMPACT YOU GET:
Medical coverage when illness strikes
Support during accidents & emergencies
Protection from fire & natural disasters
Peace of mind for your family’s future
THE COST? Just ₱160/month for SSS + ₱20 for Pag-IBIG – following the Kasambahay Law. Flexible payment plans. No complicated paperwork.
“I can’t afford expensive insurance, and “Dayong” can only do so much. Now I know my kids are covered,” said member Alona.
WHO’S BEHIND THIS?
SEDPI (Social Enterprise Development Partnerships, Inc.) – the Philippines’ leading microfinance capacity-builder since 2004. They’ve empowered over 20,000 formerly excluded families: urban poor housewives, nano-entrepreneurs, farmers, fisherfolks, and OFW families.
Through partnership with Tambayan Center for Children’s Rights Inc., this protection is now available in YOUR community.
