Posted to Kalinaw News (Sep 25, 2021): “Hiniusang Tunol Serbisyo Caravan”: Bringing Government Services Closer to its Constituents.



As the Local Government Unit (LGU) of Mabini continuously endeavors to bring services and reach out to the people to attain peace, the Office of Municipal Mayor headed by Hon Raynaldo L Dayanghirang supported the 48th Infantry (Guardians) Battalion that facilitated the conduct of the “Serbisyo Caravan” with the theme “Hiniusang Tunol Serbisyo Caravan” last September 23, 2021. This is one of the initiatives of the unit in the area where the Modified Community Support Program (MCSP) Teams are placed to bring government services closer to the people, particularly in Geographically Isolated and Disadvantaged Areas (GIDAs).

This inter-agency outreach program aimed to provide assistance to the communities and to make government services more accessible to the public and further enables the government to implement the whole of nation approach together with different line agencies and stakeholders to focus their programs, projects, and services to Communist Terrorist Groups (CTGs) affected communities to address the issues being exploited by the CTGs.

The one-day activity offered free medical check-ups, medicines and vitamins, distribution of vegetable seeds, civil registration assistance, food pack distribution, and COVID 19 vaccination, and free haircut which benefited more than 220 beneficiaries. Also highlighted in the activity is the conduct of Pulong-Pulong and peace rally to prove and showcase support of the community and denounce CPP-NPA-NDF atrocities including other left-leaning organizations all over the country.

A concerted effort of 48th Infantry (Guardians) Battalion, LGU, Mabini headed by Hon. Reynaldo Dayanghirang and Mr. Emilio O. Melecio Brgy Chairman of Brgy Del Pilar made the activity successful. Also present in the activity were Cong Ruwel Peter Gonzaga, Congressman of 2nd District, Davao de Oro, and Rev. Emerson L Luego of Sto Niño Parish Church to extend their invaluable support to the communities.

Lieutenant Colonel Enrique G Rafael, Commanding Officer, 48IB emphasized that the Philippines Army through the help of different stakeholders is always ready to support its constituents and encouraged the community to stop supporting those terrorist and left-leaning organizations. “Through the implementation of Executive Order 70 and with the convergence of efforts of all government agencies, issues linked to insurgency problem are now easily addressed. I hope that the remaining Communist NPA Terrorists (CNTs) members in Davao de Oro will be wakened up from being blinded by the false ideologies of their leaders and decide to go back to the folds of the law and enjoy the life in the mainstream society”.

“Development can only be achieved in a peaceful environment. The reds will not exist if you will continue to deny their presence in the community and stop supporting them. Let us help one another to attain peace and you will see the result later on.” said Cong. Ruwel Peter Gonzaga.

The conduct of Serbisyo Caravan is one of the culminating activities of the unit’s MCSP Team that is currently deployed within the focused areas particularly in the far-flung Sitios of Brgy Del Pilar, Mabini, Davao de Oro.
