DOT, DSWD, and USAID Launch One-Step Project

Wazzup Pilipinas!

The Department of Tourism (DOT) has inked a partnership with the Department of Social Work and Development (DSWD) and United States Agency for International Development (USAID) in a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signing ceremony held last 5 August 2013.

The convergence program, called The One-Step Project, seeks to improve the lives of the poor with more direct interventions through tourism. The One-Step Project is a step to include the poor at the start of the development process and integrate communities, including but not limited to the beneficiaries of DSWD’s Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (Pantawid), in the tourism value chain.

Tourism Secretary Ramon R. Jimenez, Jr. said the project aims to alleviate poverty by improving the “reach” and “power” of our people and to be given opportunities to succeed. “The eradication of poverty begins with the restoration of trust in leadership,” the tourism chief added.

The One-Step Project taps the potential of the 13 million poor Filipinos and the 2.1 million Pantawid households in nine priority tourism clusters. It aims to identify the poor households with greater propensity for success, particularly those living in the tourism clusters that host more than 21 million domestic and foreign tourists, and enroll them in tourism enterprises either as part of a destination community or a supplier community.

I didn't anticipate this cover. She's always the cover of Cosmo. Even the pose she did here is same as the pose Isabelle Daza did in another magazine. She has a resemblance to her in fact. What's so bold and new with her? Her black leather issue with another magazine a few months back was way bolder and newer than this. Nothing fresh to expect.

FYI, Kathryn Bernardo, his love team partner and real life sweetheart (is it confirmed?) also has a solo cover on Preview Magazine August 2013 issue.

It seems there's really no stopping the popularity of the two teen heart throbs. Fans adore them so much that they can't get enough of the two couples. Maybe there would be a magazine cover featuring the two of them soon - or was there one already? Well, I've seen some with other stars sharing the cover but I yet to see one that has only the two of them.
