The military joined the local government units (LGU) in the
successful delivery of services to about 300 beneficiaries in the mountain village of Bulonay
Lt. Erwin P. Bugarin, spokesperson of the army’s 8th
Infantry Battalion (8IB), said the successful activity was the result of the
military’s Internal Peace and Security Operations (IPSO) through Bayanihan Team
Activities (BTA).
He said among the services delivered include medical and
dental services, circumcision, haircut, massage/reflex, pedicure/manicure and
medical checkups.
Bugarin said Mayor Anthony Uy of Impasug-ong spearheaded the
project known as “Hatud Serbisyo” (Delivering Services) to far flung villages
in Impasug-ong.
According to Bugarin, various LGU agencies also joined in
the program in bringing the much needed services to the doorstep of villagers
in the mountains.
He said aside from the medical team provided by the
military, the 8IB also provided road security leading to the village of Bulonay
He said the 8IB build bridges for the government to reach
distant communities and extend services to the people.
“With the unilateral ceasefire with the communist New
People’s Army (NPA) in effect, the 8IB would have ample opportunities to serve the
people through ways other than fighting,” Bugarin said.
