Lucena Blue Card Program

Through the City Social Welfare and Development Office (CSWDO), members of the community belonging to the so called “poorest among the poor” are identified and targeted as beneficiaries of basic services from the local government aimed as an effort to improve the quality of life of said identified group. The CSWDO prepares a case study of each, and qualified families are issued a blue card that entitles them to certain benefits. Benefits are a package of free services including, but not limited to, health care, legal assistance, education assistance, financial assistance, assistance for civil registrations, development training/seminars, and livelihood assistance.
