Going all out to celebrate this year’s Family Week with extra love and care, the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) has extended the deadline of the submission of entries for featured contests Angel in Red Vest (ARV) ‘Family Groufie Contest’ and ‘Family Tiktok Contest” for its employees.

In the Thursday Media Forum on Sept 26, Standards and Capacity Building Group (SCBG) Assistant Secretary Janet Armas announced that the contests, which are open to all DSWD employees, will be extending the duration for the submission of entries up to Monday, September 30.

“‘Yung groufie natin as well as the Tiktok contest, extended na natin, it will be on September 30. Sa Monday, sana maraming sumali,” Asst. Secretary Armas said.

Originally, the submission for the Groufie Contest was supposed to run from September 3-11. The deadline for the top Tiktok entries, on the other hand, was until September 18 only.

The extension of the deadline, according to Asst. Secretary Armas will allow more time for DSWD employees to craft their entries and engage more participants.

The DSWD official also ran over the mechanics and price pool of each category.

“Inaanyayaan po natin ang ating mga pamilya na mag-groufie aligned with the theme of our celebration,” Asst. Secretary Armas said.

For the ARV Family Groufie Contest, the employee must take a group selfie or Groufie with their family members, flaunting their red vest. The captured photo paired with a short caption must collide with the theme “Spreading extra love and extra care to Filipino Families adapting to climate change.”

The prize pool for the groufie contest are Php6,000 for the 1st prize; Php4,000 for the 2nd prize; and Php2,000 for the 3rd prize.

Additionally, the top 10 entries will get ARV merchandise and certificates.

For the Family Tiktok Contest, there should be one Tiktok video entry per office/bureau/service/unit (OBSUs) showcasing their unique way of adapting to the changing climate.

Prizes await the Tiktok entries that will clinch the top three with Php10,000 + ARV Merchandise for the 1st place; Php8,000 + ARV Merchandise for the 2nd place; and and Php6,000 + ARV Merchandise for the 3rd place.

The DSWD, as the chair of National Committee on the Filipino Family (NCFF), observes the 32nd National Family Week on September 23 to 27 pursuant to Presidential Proclamation No. 60 issued on September 28, 1992, which declared the fourth week of September every year as Family Week.

The DSWD Family Week contests are anchored on this year’s theme of the celebration which is “Pamilyang Tumutugon Sa Makabagong Panahon,” showcasing the crucial role of families in addressing and mitigating the effects of climate change. #
