The Sustainable Livelihood Program (SLP) is an initiative of the Philippine Government aimed at providing economic opportunities to marginalized communities. This is being implemented by the Ministry of Social Services and Development (MSSD) in the Bangsamoro Region.
However, the Ministry received reports on the false claims that SLP is affiliated with certain people’s organizations and partylist groups, including 𝗠𝗔𝗛𝗔𝗥𝗟𝗜𝗞𝗔𝗡 𝗗𝗔’𝗪𝗔𝗛 𝗛𝗨𝗠𝗔𝗡𝗜𝗧𝗔𝗥𝗜𝗔𝗡 𝗘𝗠𝗣𝗢𝗪𝗘𝗥𝗠𝗘𝗡𝗧 𝗙𝗢𝗨𝗡𝗗𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡, 𝗜𝗡𝗖., which are requiring membership and collecting fees.
𝗦𝗟𝗣 𝗜𝗦 𝗡𝗢𝗧 𝗔𝗙𝗙𝗜𝗟𝗜𝗔𝗧𝗘𝗗 𝗪𝗜𝗧𝗛 𝗧𝗛𝗘𝗦𝗘 𝗚𝗥𝗢𝗨𝗣𝗦.
Eligibility for the program is based on the SLP New Guidelines or Memorandum Circular No. 07 Series of 2023, which outlines the specific criteria for target beneficiaries. Proper assessments for individuals are conducted before they can be qualified as SLP participants.
We encourage the public to verify information about the SLP with official government sources, such as the MSSD https://www.facebook.com/MSSDBangsamoro, the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) https://www.facebook.com/dswdserves, or the Sustainable Livelihood Program – BARMM https://www.facebook.com/SLPBangsamoro. We also urge individuals to be cautious of false information and to rely on credible sources when seeking information about the program.
You may coordinate with us through our Facebook pages or through the SLP hotline number: 0951-020-8513 for further details in relation to this matter.
*Please read and share the translated versions of the official statement in Bangsamoro languages for mass dissemination at the grassroots level.
