CLAVERIA, Misamis Oriental – The 58th Infantry Dimalulupig Battalion assisted the Provincial Agriculture Office (PAGRO) with the other national line agencies in their fifth visit to the Higaonons of Sitio Kalhaan, Barangay Minalwang of the Municipality of Claveria, August 13, 2021.

This was spearheaded by the Provincial Agriculturist Jose Apollo Pacamalan together with representatives from the different sub-agencies of One DA’s Adopt a Community Program, the Philippine Carabao Center (PCC), Philippine Crop Insurance Commission (PCIC), National Dairy Authority (NDA), Agricultural Training Institute (ATI), Philippine Fiber Development Authority (PhiFiDa), and other national agencies such Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA), Department of Science and Technology (DOST), First Community Cooperative (FICCO), and the LGU Claveria.

Said agencies returned to Sitio Kalhaan to deliver and hand over various programs, projects, and services to the Higaonon residents. Planting materials of various types were also supplied. Adlai seeds, Abaca seedlings, Upland rice, and other high-value crops suitable for the area were provided to boost agricultural activities.

Following the distribution, various trainings such as the Solar Installation Skills Training under the TESDA-X Project “LAMDAG,” where they were also given solar lights units, opened the path for the locals to enjoy light during the dark. “LAMDAG” is a Kahayag or Lights local term. Beneficiaries received an Agro Plowing Machine (hand tractor) maintenance training, as well as Hi-Breed Carabao Grass Propagation, various gifts and essentials under the TESDAmayan project, and Health Care Services.

Since the activation of the Municipal Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict and Adopt a Community Program by Department of Agriculture Region X on April 14, 2021, the community has received a steady stream of dedicated programs and services. And those various agencies have decided to keep their obligations to the community alive and well. Every month, at the very least, a visit to the area is made.

“This unit will continue to facilitate and provide interventions even in far-flung areas like Kalhaan, in collaboration with the various clusters of the Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict of E.O 70, in order to finally achieve the durable peace and sustainable, inclusive development that we all desire,” said 58IB Commanding Officer Lt. Col. Ricky L. Canatoy.
