From Kalinaw News (Dec 28, 2022): PHP180M Worth ELCAC Projects kicks off in North Cotabato
MAKILALA, COTABATO – The local government unit of President Roxas formally kicks off the implementation of road concreting projects, infrastructures, and livelihood programs worth 180 million pesos for its 25 barangays during the groundbreaking ceremony held at Barangay Labu-o, President Roxas, Cotabato Province, December 21, 2022.
The program furthers the DILG and Task Force ELCAC’s Barangay Development Program (BDP) by addressing the development concerns of communities, particularly those once considered Communist Terrorist Group-affected barangays.
Barangays of President Roxas in the Province of Cotabato were once affected by the CTG. They were declared as cleared after the military’s implementation of a community-based Community Support Program in the said barangays.
This ground-breaking ceremony highlighted the efforts and commitment of various agencies in addressing the issues that were once used by the CTGs as propaganda against the government.
Relatedly, nine Peoples Organizations whose members are former members of the underground mass organizations in the said barangays received PhP 2.7M pesos from DSWD’s Sustainable Livelihood Assistance Program on December 7, 2022, as a starter kit in their livelihood program.
LtCol Ezra L Balagtey during the activity emphasizes the effort of different government agencies to converge their various programs to address the issues and concerns of the communities. “The activity is proof that indeed we have a caring government, we are unifying our effort to address the issues and concerns of our communities,” Balagtey said. “As your partners in peace, we will continue to keep in step with other agencies and continue to do our part in preserving the stability and ensuring the continuous development of people and communities in President Roxas,” Balagtey added.
