From the Philippine News Agency (Nov 11): DSWD to implement P11-M anti-poverty
projects in Sultan Kudarat
The Department of Social Welfare and Development in Central Mindanao will soon
start implementing an P11 million worth of infrastructure project in Isulan,
Sultan Kudarat under the Kapit-Bisig Laban sa Kahirapan-Comprehensive Delivery
of Social Services (Kalahi-CIDSS).
DSWD-12 regional director Bai Zorahayda Taha said that under the program,
KALAHI-CIDSS would construct new classroom buildings in Kenram Elementary School
and Mapantig Elementary School, in barangays Kenram and Pamantig, respectively.
The project also includes the construction of Alternative Learning Center for
out-of-school youth of Barangay Laguilayan.
Taha said the project would also address the lack of potable drinking water
in Barangay Bual with the construction of Water System Project and Water
Refiling Station in Barangay D’Lotilla.
A satellite market will be constructed in Barangay Impao to improve economic
activities in Barangay Impao and nearby communities.... She said DSWD did not decide alone in determining which projects would be
given priority. Other agencies, the local government units and DSWD field
personnel form part of the selection process.
Of all the projects in Isulan, P7.6 million comes from Kalahi-CIDSS grant
while the remaining P3.5 million were shouldered by the municipal and barangay
government.
Taha said that the community was involved in all the process, especially
during the planning and actual construction stage.
“They owned the project so they will take care of it,” Taha said.
