DSWD Announces Top 17 National Finalists for the Walang Gutom Awards

The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) has proudly announced the Top 17 National Finalists for the prestigious Walang Gutom Awards. This award is a joint initiative by the DSWD and the Galing Pook Foundation.

The Walang Gutom Awards is a national recognition program that aims to highlight the most innovative and effective programs implemented by local government units (LGUs) across the country to combat food insecurity and hunger.


Addressing Food Insecurity in the Philippines

Food insecurity is a pressing issue in the Philippines. According to a World Food Programme survey in October 2022, one in 10 Philippine households experiences food insecurity. The country’s volatile climate, social inequality, and uneven wealth distribution have contributed to the ongoing hunger crises.

In response to this, the DSWD and the Galing Pook Foundation launched the Walang Gutom Awards. The awards aim to recognize and amplify the success stories of LGUs in ending involuntary hunger and malnutrition among Filipinos, especially children.

The Role of LGUs in Combating Hunger

To qualify for the awards, the program must be implemented in the LGU, either in the barangay, municipality, city, or province. It must have been operational for at least one year and must demonstrate verifiable and significant results in addressing food security and nutrition.

The DSWD and Galing Pook Foundation will award 10 LGUs nationwide. Each winning LGU will receive Php 2 million that they can use to extend the program and their beneficiaries.

The Top 17 National Finalists

The DSWD has now announced the Top 17 National Finalists for the Walang Gutom Awards. These LGUs have submitted their entries and have been recognized for their outstanding efforts in addressing food insecurity and hunger in their respective communities.

A Collaborative Effort

DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian emphasized that ending hunger and malnutrition in the country requires collaboration between different organizations1. "Today is a very significant day because it is an acknowledgment that the department cannot do it on its own. We need to create a movement among every single Filipino to once and for all say we are ending hunger right here, right now,” Secretary Gatchalian pointed out1.

The Walang Gutom Awards is a testament to this collaborative effort. It is a movement that aims to end hunger and ensure that no child goes to school hungry1.

Stay tuned for more updates on the Walang Gutom Awards and the inspiring work of the Top 17 National Finalists in their fight against hunger.

Understanding Grade Transmutation in DepEd

Understanding Grade Transmutation in DepEd In the Philippine education system, grade transmutation is the process of converting raw scores into equivalent grades. This ensures consistency and fairness when assessing student performance. DepEd follows specific guidelines for transmuting grades, allowing educators to evaluate students objectively. How Does Grade Transmutation Work? Initial Grades : Students receive raw scores (usually out of 100) for their assessments, exams, and projects. These initial grades serve as the basis for transmutation. Transmuted Grades : To convert initial grades into transmuted grades, DepEd uses a predefined scale. Let’s take a closer look at the scale: Table Initial Grade Range Transmuted Grade 100 100 98.40 – 99.99 99 96.80 – 98.39 98 … … 68.00 – 69.59 80 Below 68.00 60 Interpreting the Scale : For example, if a student scores between 98.40 and 99.99, their transmuted grade will be 99. Similarly, an initial grade of 85.60 – 87.19 corresponds to a transm...
