NEGROS ORIENTAL -- The Provincial Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict (PTF ELCAC) led by Gov. Roel Degamo is set to conduct the second leg of consultation and government service caravan simultaneously on Oct. 9 in Canlaon City as part of Pres. Rodrigo Duterte’s "whole of nation approach" in the anti-insurgency campaign.
Dagyawan aims to provide a platform in a solution-driven consultation with the community directly interfacing with government agencies.
It will be held at Canlaon City Gymnasium while the government services caravan will be conducted in Brgy. Bayog.
Concurrently, the Serbisyo Caravan will also provide a venue for barangay residents to access a one-stop shop of frontline government services and programs.
Barangays Lumapao and Bayog in Canlaon City are two of 16 barangays in Negros Oriental tagged as conflict areas due to the presence of communist insurgents.
“The caravan brings the services closer to far-flung barangays with the intention to bring the city or municipality government to the hinterland barangays because they are always there around and if the national agencies is not available they can continue to offer the services,” said Trovela.
The Dagyawan sa Barangay and Serbisyo Caravan was first held in Guihulngan City in September this year.
Regional Director Leocadio Trovela of the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG-7) lauded the event as he cited the support and cooperation of member agencies as well as the city government of Guihulngan that made an impact on barangay residents who availed of the services and benefits of the intervention project and programs of the government.
In a solution seeking workshop or consultation, the barangay council members aired their primary issues, which some national government agencies (NGAs) participating in the Dagyawan addressed directly.
Meanwhile, the NOTF-ELCAC noted that some NGAs failed to participate in the Guihulngan activities, thus, a resolution was passed en masse during the meeting.
The resoluted cited Land Transportation Office, Department of Public Works and Highways, and Pag-IBIG Fund be explain their non-attendance during the Dagyawan in Guihulngan City.
After Canlaon City, the NOTF-ELCAC will hold the same activities in Sta. Catalina on Oct. 25, Zamboanguita on Nov. 8, and Valencia on Nov. 14. (jct/PIA7 Negros Oriental)
