At least 16 national government agencies (NGAs) will participate in the “Gobyernong Serbisyo Para sa Bayan” caravan next week to deliver their basic services to residents of Guihulngan City, Negros Oriental.
The caravan is part of a two-day activity of the Negros Oriental Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict (NOTF-ELCAC) with Guihulngan City as the pilot area in the province to be served by the 12-cluster task force.
The first activity is slated on Sept. 10 at the Guihulngan City gymnasium where the “Dagyawan sa Barangay” will be held.
The following day, the NOTF-ELCAC will be in Barangay Trinidad for the "Gobyernong Serbisyo" caravan where the NGAs are expected to offer their respective services to some 150 beneficiaries, Jennifer Catan Tilos, Information Center manager of the Philippine Information Agency here, who heads the Strategic Communication Cluster of the NOTF-ELCAC, said.
Tilos said the number of NGAs could still change as Task Force chair, Governor Roel Degamo, is calling for a meeting on Sept. 9 to finalize which agencies are participating and what services are to be provided.
Initially, the list of NGAs and their services include the Department of Agriculture (livestock, seedlings, farm materials distribution); National Food Authority (selling of NFA rice); Department of Education (dental services/dental van); Department of Health (Libreng Gamot/medical and dental mission/dental van); Department of Labor and Employment (job fair); Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (free haircut, massage, manicure and pedicure, scholarship program); Philippine Statistics Authority (live birth/certificate of no marriage registration); Philippine National Police (medical/dental services, License To Own and Possess Firearm or LTOPF);
Armed Forces of the Philippines (medical and dental services/dental van/free haircut); Philippine Navy (free hair cut/massage/medical and dental services); Social Security System (issuance of SSS number, verification of SSS contributions, filing of funeral death claim, retirement, sickness, disability, maternity leave, employer’s registration, member data change request, salary loan, and loan verification); Land Transportation Office (mobile registration/renewal of license); PhilPost (Postal I.D.); Department of Trade and Industry (Diskwento Caravan); PhilHealth (new member registration); and Provincial Attorney’s Office (legal advice).
Other agencies listed, but whose services have yet to be identified, are the Philippine Coconut Authority, Department of Agrarian Reform, Land Bank of the Philippines, and the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency.
On the same day, Degamo will lead the groundbreaking for the province-funded PHP380-million farm-to-market road linking Barangay Hilaitan to Barangay Trinidad also in Guihulngan.
Trinidad is among the 16 barangays in the province’s seven cities and municipalities that the military has identified as conflict areas being affected by the insurgency problem due to the presence of the Communist Party of the Philippines-New People’s Army (CPP-NPA) rebels.
The NOTF-ELCAC was created last month in response to President Rodrigo Duterte’s Whole of Nation approach in ending armed conflict and attaining peace and sustainable development.
