From the Philippine Information Agency (Nov 8, 2019): Tandag residents avail services from Serbisyo Caravan


BUTUAN CITY, Nov. 8 (PIA) - As government agencies take serious steps in reaching out to the locals to improve their quality of living, particularly those in conflict-affected areas in Caraga region, another Serbisyo Caravan was conducted, wherein issues and concerns of various communities were raised and discussed.

Cabinet Secretary Karlo Nograles, who serves as the cabinet officer for the Regional Development and Security (CORDS) personally attended the said caravan and answered all the queries and concerns of the residents.

CabSec. Nograles also revealed various projects and other development plans for the affected areas that would uplift their livelihood.

Benefitting residents from the serbisyo caravan were delighted to have learned that among the priority projects include the construction of access roads or farm to market roads.

According to Samuel Plasa Cedron, punong barangay of Maitum, it is a dream come true that their sentiments and concerns were addressed and resolved.

“This is an opportune time for us to raise our issues and concerns to the concerned agencies, so they could also help us address each and work together towards peace and development,” Cedron bared.

Tandag City Mayor Roxanne Pimentel emphasized that the local government is giving due attention to the needs of the residents and is regularly conducting consultations among different sectors in the city.

“We will continue reaching out to the grassroots and know what they need so they could live comfortably and peacefully in their area, especially those in the remotest areas,” said Pimentel.

During the caravan, beneficiaries have availed of the free medical and legal consultations, and a lot more of services from the concerned government agencies.

Locals hoped that this would sustain and would reach other remote areas. (JPG/NCM, PIA-Caraga)
