From the Philippine News Agency (Jan 31): 27 barangays to benefit from AFP’s
convergence program in Davao del Norte
A total of 27 selected barangays in this province will benefit from the
provincial government’s convergence for peace and development program (PDOP) of
the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP), along with the Philippine National
police (PNP) and other agencies this year.
OIC-Provincial Administrator Norma Lumain said they were still collating
reports from different barangay heads to submit needed documents in order for
them to be included as beneficiaries of the program.
She said the initiative was set to continue in bringing basic government
services to residents of far-flung areas in the province.
In 2012, Lumain said more than 60,000 indigents in 30 under-privileged
barangays in the province benefited from the program. Services will still
include free social, medical, surgical, dental, laboratory, legal, and
agricultural, among others.
The recipient barangays which were identified by the military as among the
geographically isolated and depressed areas (GIDA) were not included in the
convergence missions held in previous years.
Lumain said the convergence team would be visiting five disadvantaged
barangays before taking a break during the election period.
The convergence team will be conducting community medical and social outreach
activities on February 22 in Barangay San Agustin, Tagum City.
