Posted to Kalinaw News (Jan 18, 2022): “WoN” Approach provides Hydraulic Water Ram Pump Project to Former NPA stronghold Barangay in Tulunan, North Cotabato
MAKILALA, NORTH COTABATO – Department of Science and Technology Region XII in coordination with the Department of Social Welfare and Development Region XII, Provincial Local Government Unit of North Cotabato, Local Government Unit of Tulunan and the 39th Infantry Battalion, 1002nd Brigade conducted Ground Breaking and MOA Signing of Hydraulic Water Ram Pump Project in Brgy Paraiso, Tulunan, North Cotabato, today, January 18, 2022.
It can be recalled that Barangay Paraiso was a former stronghold of the NPA terrorists wherein the lack of potable water supply was the primary issue being exploited by the terrorist group in order to deceive and gain support from the masses as well as to encourage them to turn against the government.
However, through the National Task Force in Ending Local Communist Armed Conflict (NTF-ELCAC) with its Whole-of-Nation Approach Advocacy and the Barangay Development Program, the said barangay has been receiving services and support from the government which includes the Hydraulic Water Ram Pump Project spearheaded by DOST XII.
The provision of Hydram to the community will bring enough water supply needed for their daily needs as a basic commodity and livelihood which provides hope to the community in their pursuit of success and development.
Aside from the Ram Pump Project, volunteer workers from Barangay Paraiso also received one (1) sack of rice each from LGU Tulunan headed by Hon Reuel P Limbungan, Municipal Mayor and Financial Assistance worth five thousand pesos (Php 5,000.00) each from DSWD XII headed by Director Restituto B Macuto, Regional Director.
During the ceremony, Engr Sammy P Malawan, Regional Director of DOST XII said that, “This project was realized through the collaborative efforts of the different government agencies as mandated by the EO 70 of our President which aims to provide services and projects to communities in conflict affected areas especially those in the Geographically Isolated and Disadvantaged Areas (GIDAs) to address issues being exploited by the NPA terrorists and to eventually end the local communist armed conflict.”
On the other hand, Hon Reuel P Limbungan, Mayor of Tulunan expressed his gratitude to different government agencies for the realization of the project. “I am beyond thankful for this activity. We have been working together for the many projects since NTF-ELCAC has been implemented. And I am much thankful to the military for being hands-on and dedicated in building partnerships to maintain projects and activities like this to help our communities who were deceived by the communist terrorist groups.”
Likewise, Hon. Brgy Captain Regino Talingting said that, “With this project, we can see that we are not actually left by the government, and that we are only brainwashed by the NPA Terrorist in the past. Rest assured that we will take good care of this project as a sign of our commitment to the government.”
The NTF-ELCAC through the “WoN” Approach continues to provide the citizens welfare and assistance for them to be able to start anew and change for the better. Government agencies will also continue to do team effort and teamwork to establish services and quality support such as this undertaking.
