From the Philippine Information Agency (Aug 26, 2020): Sogod upland barangay gets water system during PTF-ELCAC caravans, pulong-pulong sorties (By Erna S. Gorne)
MAASIN CITY, August 25 (PIA) -- Barangay Milagroso, an upland barangay in Sogod, Southern Leyte will soon have their water system installed as an offshoot of the Lokal Serbisyo Caravan and Grand Pulong-pulong held in Brgy. Milagroso Elementary School on August 12, 2020.
Barangay residents expressed their need for water system to be installed at their highly-elevated area, as observed during the conduct of series of Provincial Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict (PTF-ELCAC) caravans and pulong-pulongs.
The residents did not prefer swine production and hog fattening, among others, due to lack of water supply, it was learned.
With the presence of Sogod Vice Mayor Jose Ramil Golo, who also represented the Sogod MTF-ELCAC team, assured the barangay residents to bring the matter with Mayor Imelda Tan to highly consider the water supply problem in Brgy. Milagroso.
Seeing the need for water system in the implementation of potential livelihood projects in the area, Vice Mayor Golo assured the far-flung barangay residents to respond to their plight together with the municipal council.
Among other government agencies, the Department of Labor and Employment also committed to bring in livelihood projects such as dressmaking for the women’s group while TESDA is set to provide skills trainings as well.
Through the guidance of Lt. Col. Roberto Obaob of the 14IB, 8ID, the PTF-ELCAC members willingly converged in three other hinterland barangays, namely Kauswagan, Benit and Kahupi-an, all of Sogod for the series of caravans and pulong-pulongs held from August 11-13, 2020.
