The 301st Infantry Brigade of the Philippine Army has lauded
the efforts of the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) Region 6 for
bringing the government’s much needed services down to the grassroots to
improve the socioeconomic well-being of the village folks.
DOLE's Regional Director Ponciano M. Ligutom received a
citation during the Infantry Brigade's 32nd anniversary celebration on Feb. 16
in Camp General Adriano D. Hernandez, Dingle, Iloilo
for the DOLE’s unprecedented support in the implementation of Tubong-Tubong
Project in conflict-prone areas on the island of Panay
The DOLE was the only government agency which received such
award along with some non-government organizations and army officers.
The Tubong-Tubong project, a convergence program of the
DOLE, 3IB PA, local government units and other stakeholders, is implemented in
the municipalities of Tapaz in Capiz and Tubungan in Iloilo
According to Col. Eric C. Uchida, peace and order can be
attained not by bullets but by bringing the necessary change in the lives of
the people in conflict-prone areas through the delivery of government services
such as this convergence program which aims to contribute to the development of
the locality and alleviate the lives of the people.
In Tapaz, the region released in 2013 to the LGU the amount
of PhP950,000 as counterpart in the PhP1.8 million Abaca Production Project
which is aimed at benefiting the 321 indigenous people from barangays Maliao
and Hilwan in Tapaz, Capiz.
Another PhP2,920,000 was released in 2014 to promote food
security through Abaca Fiber and Livestock raising to 116 marginalized farmers
and unemployed workers who survived the wrath of typhoon "Yolanda."
In Tubungan, the amount of assistance granted to the LGU for
the development of the coconut industry of the locality reached a total of
PhP2,799,575 which directly benefited 1,207 small coconut farmers and their
families.
Other areas to be covered by the Tubong-Tubong project
included Libacao in Aklan, San Remegio in Antique and Bingawan in Iloilo
