Date Posted: 02:08:10 04/16/13 Tue From the Director The Regional Population Office–10 takes pride in presenting these Accomplishments for year 2012. These accomplishments marked another seal of excellence for us and our partners in terms of implementing the Philippine Population Management Program in this Region. Through the 2,692 classes that we have conducted this year, we were able to reach-out to 53,840 couples who had attended our Family Development Sessions (FDS) on Responsible Parenthood and Family Planning. This year, we redirected our focus for FDS towards tracking the “unmet need for family planning”. This is apart from our usual vow to promote the “all” kinds of family planning methods to help couples achieve their fertility intentions. Of course, this is done through partnership with the Department of Social Welfare and Development Region-10 and Local Government Units. We have also made strides for our Adolescent Health and Youth Development Program. The incessant services of our six (6) Teens’ Health Centers in Cagayan de Oro, Misamis Oriental and Bukidnon, as well as our continuous popularization of the SHAPE module, have helped instilled the values of being sexually healthy and personally effective to our young people. This effort of RPO-10 is geared towards reducing the sexual-risks behaviors of our youth and bringing down the cases of teen pregnancy. We express our appreciation to our allies in the program for their continuous support to our endeavors and in making the population management program in Region-10 so much success. PSYCHE P. PALER, CESO VI Regional Director EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This year marks another year of achievements for the Philippine Population Program in Region-10. The leaps and bounds success of our projects and activities were made possible because of the help from our stakeholders and program implementers. One of the many challenges that we had to face head-on was of reducing the rate of “unmet need for family planning” among Conditional Cash Transfer-Beneficiary couples of the DSWD’s 4Ps. The target of reducing the unmet need alone already implied tremendous tasks since it should start from identify first who these couples are--who have unmet need for family planning. Per instruction of the Secretary of the Department of Health and POPCOM Central Office, RPO-10 instantaneously identified strategies on how to accomplish the new tasks given. As initial step, RPO-10 reactivated its manpower mechanism in the barangays and mobilized the Barangay Service Point Officers (BSPOs) or Community Volunteers to help in tracking the unmet need. After giving the BSPOs intensive training on Interpersonal Communication and Counseling as well as teaching them how to use the tracking forms and referral slips, they were deployed as members of the Community Health Teams in their areas. The main function of the BSPOs is to identify couples who have been wishing to use family planning methods but are NOT using any for whatever reason. Our adolescent health and youth development program is implemented with equal weight with our other programs. The establishment of the six (6) Teen centers in our region is a big help in our advocacy and communication for responsible sexuality and avoidance of risky behaviors for our young people. Studies have shown that the risky behaviors of our youth today are among the causes of high incidence of teen pregnancy and spread of sexually transmitted diseases including HIV. Aside from intensifying promotion of the SHAPE Module for Adolescent Health and Youth Development, we also pushed a region-wide popularization of the movie “Crossroads” to the different secondary schools in Region-10. This year we have conducted film showings of the said movie to thirty (30) Sections in the private and public secondary schools. For POPDEV Integration, our provincial and city population officers lobbied for local policies and their efforts contributed to the approval of ordinances and resolutions to support PPMP benchmark programs. This year, we have compiled twelve (12) newly approved resolutions and ordinances from our LGUs. These resolutions directly support the family planning component of the PPMP. FAMILY PLANNING AND REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH PROGRAM Couples Class on Responsible Parenthood and Family Planning (RP/FP) through FDS This year, the Regional Population office-10 conducted a total of two thousand six hundred ninety-two (2,692) Family Development Sessions (FDS). The conditional Cash Transfer-Beneficiary couples of the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program of the DSWD who have attended these were given lecture on Responsible Parenthood and Family Planning. The tracking of the couples with “unmet need for family planning” was done during the FDS. The Barangay Service Points Officers (BSPOs) in the Community Health Teams (CHT) were trained how to do the tracking and how to refer the couples with “unmet need” to the clinic for FP counseling. Brochures on Family Planning Methods were distributed to the couples during the sessions. Parents and Adolescents Camp (Family Camp) POPCOM 10 conducted a three-day Parents-Adolescents Camp (Family Camp). This was held in May 16-18, 2012 at Chali Beach Resort in Cagayan de Oro City. The activity was designed to make parents and their adolescents aware of the different adolescent sexuality and reproductive health concerns, challenges, issues as well as understand the role of parents as primary source of sound information Adolescent Sexual and Reproductive Health. Sixteen (16) families joined this camp. The parents were between the ages of 35 years to 50 years while the adolescents were between the ages of 14 years to 17 years old. Roll-out Trainings on CHT Mobilization RPO-10 assisted the Department of Health Region-10 in conducting “Roll-out Trainings on Community Health Team Mobilization”.

Training on Mainstreaming BSPO Function in Reducing FP Unmet Need through the CHTs A series of trainings for BSPOs and population program workers were done during the whole month of August 2012. These activities were conducted region-wide in order to identify the couples with “unmet need for family planning”. Fourteen (14) batches of this training for the BSPOs were conducted.
