From the Philippine Information Agency (Feb 7): 5 barangays in Coron get fund for Kalahi-Cidss sub-projects
Funding of P12.42 million were granted to five of the 19 barangays who participated in the Kalahi-Cidss Municipal Inter-Barangay Forum (MIBF). The funds will be used for the implementation of sub-projects proposed by the community representatives of the winning barangays.
The Forum is a strategy for community empowerment through localized decision-making. Simply put, it is a venue for the Barangay Representation Teams (BRTs), who are volunteers of Kalahi-CIDSS, to present their sub-project proposals and choose which among the community projects will be prioritized.
The forum participants will choose what they think is the most viable and feasible based on the criteria set by the Kalahi-CIDSS Volunteers themselves.
Several Regional Project Management Office staff attended the activity to provide the necessary technical assistance.
Acting Mayor Ajerico Barracoso gave a short message during the activity saying that Kalahi-CIDSS implementation in the municipality of Coron will be of big help especially to those island barangays. He hoped that the activity will be successful, likewise with its implementation this year.
The five barangays to get the Kalahi-Cidss fund are Tara, Borac, Marcilla, Poblacion 2, and Decalachao. Some of the priority sub-projects that they have identified were the Level II water systems, school building, health station and electrification.

Kalahi-CIDSS programs target insurgency-affected or conflict-affected communities.
