With the aim of finishing the assessment of Region 2 households as fast as possible, DSWD Field Office 2 through its Listahanan project conducted the last batch of training from July 14-18, 2015 at Ivory Lodge, Tuguegarao City.

The training was conducted to fill up the vacant slots in municipalities where additional enumerators are still needed.

44 total trainees underwent the said training with 36 of the trainees coming from Nueva Vizcaya, 5 trainees from Quirino and 3 trainees from Isabela.

Ms. Pasencia T. Ancheta, the Acting Policy and Plans Division Chief and Regional Focal Person for Listahanan in Region 2 provided general supervision while Mr. Reymund G. Ferrer, DSWD Region 2’s Regional Associate Statistician, Christopher Soriano, DSWD FO2’s Regional Field Supervisor and Matthias James Ryan Tangonan, DSWD FO2’s Regional Information Technology Officer handled the training and discussion duties especially on the last two days, where the bulk of the discussions and the field training was done.

A combination of conference discussions and field simulations was done to get the trainees ready for their upcoming field assignments.

With the rigorous training that the trainees went through, any challenge that they may face on the field will be significantly lessened with the experience and learning that they absorbed on the training. ### Written by Chester Carlo M. Trinidad, Listahanan Information Officer
