The proper consultation with the stakeholders was a plus factor in the smooth implementation of the construction of the six classroom school building project equipped with armchairs, blackboards and sets of tables and chairs for teachers in Lapok Elementary School, Barangay Lapok, Shariff Aguak, Maguindanao.”
  
This was said by UNYPAD-Development Management Center Project Officer Mr. Tu Alid Alfonso, MDM on the current implementation of project awarded to the United Youth for Peace and Development (UNYPAD) by the Embassy of Japan through its scheme of the Grant Assistance for Grassroots Human Security Projects (GGP) under the Japan-Bangsamoro Initiatives for Reconstruction and Development (J-BIRD).

The project has been welcomed by the community leaders, the barangay and the local government units, the members and supporters of Moro Islamic Liberation Front in the area of Lapok as well as the villagers who have been very happy with the additional school building being constructed in their community from the Embassy of Japan, which will serve as home of learning for the children that once became victims of war in 2008 between the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) and the MILF’s Bangsamoro Islamic Armed Forces (BIAF).

To make sure that the construction is on the right direction, the UNYPAD Office of the National President Mr. Rahib L. Kudto, accompanied by the DMC Director Mr. Anwar Z. Saluwang, MMPA, made ocular visit as part of the supervision and monitoring of the construction.
