A meaningful step forward for caregivers and children in Albuera, Leyte.

Last February 4, 2026, the Acting Mayor of Albuera, Leyte, Vice Mayor Mariel E. Marinay, signed an Executive Order establishing a coordinated referral and caregiver support mechanism between the Municipal Health Office (MHO) and the Municipal Social Welfare and Development Office (MSWDO). This landmark policy aims to strengthen caregivers’ well-being and improve immunization completion across the municipality.

By linking health and social services, Albuera is taking a people-centered approach—recognizing that when caregivers are supported, children thrive and communities grow stronger. 💉👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

The signing was witnessed by Dr. Twinkle Ann De La Cruz (MHO) and Ms. Mary Ann Fernandez (MSWDO), together with officers from ChildFund Philippines – RISE REP CDS3 Plus, highlighting strong local leadership and partnership in action.

This milestone is made possible through the collaboration of the Department of Health (DOH), GAVI, UNICEF, and ChildFund Philippines, working closely with local health offices, community leaders, and partners to build stronger, more inclusive immunization systems so that no child is left behind.
