Posted to Kalinaw News (Sep 4, 2021): Opportunities await for IP Community in Claveria as Govt turns over Bagsakan Center
CLAVERIA, Misamis Oriental – The 58th Infantry Dimalulupig Battalion assisted the inauguration and turnover ceremony of the newly constructed Bagsakan Center for the IP Community at Sitio Lantawon, Barangay Aposkahoy, Claveria, Misamis Oriental, September 01, 2021.
The turnover ceremony was spearheaded by the Department of Social Welfare and Development Region X (DSWD-X) together with 58IB, Hon. Joecard Y Dalman, Municipal Peace and Order Council, Hon. Vilma E Ebonia, Barangay Chairman of Aposkahoy, the Barangay Council, Datu Joel E Mangsangcagan, Indigenous People Mandatory Representative (IPMR), and the members of MAMACILA CADT led by Bae Anita Paje.
The IP members of MAMACILA CADT were formally handed over one unit of 5X16 meters Bagsakan Center. The initiative is a partnership between the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) and the Office of the Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process known as Kalahi-CIDSS PAMANA (OPAPP). Conflict-affected barangays will get funds as part of this project to increase their access to excellent basic social services. PAMANA is the framework and program of the national government for peace and development in conflict-affected areas.
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, selling crops, fruits, and other items produced by the IP communities.
Ms Nathalie Soldevilla, a representative from DSWD X, congratulated and advised the recipients to properly handle what was handed to them, as this will undoubtedly assist them in supporting their daily life.
On the other hand, Lt. Col Ricky L Canatoy, Commanding Officer of 58IB, believes that this project will empower them as a community, allowing them to work together to sustain the livelihood program that has been granted to them, allowing progress and development in the community, especially since their area was once belonging to conflict-affected areas in Misamis Oriental.
