From the Philippine Information Agency (Feb 5, 2021): 4ID celebrates 51st anniv with community locals in AgSur (By 26th Infantry Battalion, PA)
TALACOGON, Agusan del Sur, Feb. 5 -- The 4th Infantry (Diamond) Division (4ID), Philippine Army under the command of Major General Andres C. Centino, celebrated its 51st founding anniversary in the community through an outreach program held in Barangay Lydia, La Paz, Agusan del Sur on Feb. 1, 2021.
This year's anniversary was anchored on the theme, "Diamond Division: Sustaining Excellence Amidst Challenges." As part of the celebration, the activity intends to touch the lives and provide sociological support to the people who were struggling amidst pandemic as well as to bring happiness to those underprivileged in the far-flung and isolated local communities.
Barangay Lydia is one of the fortunate barangays in Agusan del Sur, which was selected by the 4ID as the beneficiary of the outreach program. Aside from being a geographically isolated barangay, it is also considered as a conflict-affected area because of the presence of the New People's Army (NPA) and their constant threat to the residents. A total of 228 beneficiaries took part in the activity.
The troops of 26th Infantry Battalion (26IB) also facilitated the distribution of food packs and other assistance during the activity and was made possible thru collaboration with the Local Government Unit (LGU) of La Paz headed by Mayor Michael V. Lim and the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) Caraga regional office.
“My gratitude to the Diamond Division for choosing Brgy. Lydia to be one of the beneficiaries in your area of responsibility. Happy 51st Anniversary and I am honored to be part of this momentous celebration. Rest assured that the local government of La Paz will always be grateful in your time and effort in providing sociological needs for our people and we will always be your partner on the implementation of government programs and initiatives for peace and development in our community," said Mayor Lim.
Meanwhile, MGen. Centino, commended all the partner agencies for their benevolent support for the unit. "As our partner in achieving peace and development, I am very grateful to all who are committed in uplifting and empowering the lives of every Filipino especially the less fortunate. We guarantee that we will do our best in all our undertakings to help the people especially those in the remote communities. With all our efforts, no community will be left behind," he said. (2Lt.
