Brgy. Aposkahoy IP community receives Bagsakan Center

From the Philippine Information Agency (Sep 4, 2021): Brgy. Aposkahoy IP community receives Bagsakan Center (By 58th Infantry Battalion, Philippine Army)



CLAVERIA, Misamis Oriental (PIA)--To further capacitate Indigenous Peoples (IP) communities and hinterland barangays in their economic development, the 58th Infantry “Dimalulupig” Battalion (58th IB) assisted in the inauguration and turnover ceremony of the newly constructed Bagsakan Center for the IP Community at Sitio Lantawon, Barangay Aposkahoy, Claveria, September 1.

IP members of Mati, Manibay, Civoleg, and Langguyod (MAMACILA) were formally handed over one unit of 5 x 16 meters Bagsakan Center, an initiative lead by the partnership between the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD)-10 and the Office of the Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process (OPAPP) through the Kalahi-CIDSS-PAMANA.


Under the PAMANA framework, conflict-affected barangays are prioritized to receive funds and increase their access to basic social services as part of the national government’s campaign for peace and development in conflict-affected areas.

Nathalie Soldevilla, a representative from DSWD-10, congratulated and advised the recipients to properly handle what was handed to them, as this will undoubtedly assist them in supporting their daily life.

The beneficiaries' morale and excitement were enhanced by the fact that the Bagsakan center will serve as the food basket for the Barangay and its neighboring barangays, and be an avenue for selling crops, fruits, and other items produced by the IP communities.

Lt. Col Ricky L Canatoy, Commanding Officer of 58IB, believes that the project will empower them as a community, allowing them to work together to sustain the livelihood program that has been granted to them, and be a step forward in allowing progress and development, especially since their area was categorized as one belonging to “conflict-affected areas” in the province.
