History

The implementation of the basic social welfare services used to be spearheaded by the Department of Social Welfare and Development. However, with the passage of Republic Act No. 7160 or the Local Government Code of 1991, the basic social welfare services were devolved to the Local Government Unit. The Municipal Social Welfare and Development Office in the Local Government Unit of Malaybalay was then created. It was headed by Ms. Virginia I. Flores as the MSWD Officer. When the Municipality of Malaybalay was converted into a component city by virtue of Republic Act 8490 in 1998, the MSWDO was then renamed to City Social Welfare and Development Office. Ms. Virginia I. Flores served as its department head until her retirement in September 24, 2019. At present, Ms. Ivy Amor C. Urbina is designated as the officer-in-charge of the City Social Welfare and Development Office.
