Posted on by cmn

CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY (March 03, 2024/PIA) — The Economic Development Committee of the Regional Development Council (RDC)-10 approved the P20.32 billion proposed budget of the Department of Agriculture (DA)-10 for the year 2025 on February 20

DA-10 Regional Executive Director Carlene C. Collado said 24 percent of the said budget is proposed under Tier 1 of the 2025 General Appropriations Act (GAA), while the remaining 76 percent will be lodged under Tier 2.

 

As part of its priority programs for 2025, DA-10 seeks to fund catalytic projects such as farm-to-market road development; agricultural machinery, equipment, and facilities support services; irrigation network services; production support services; Special Area for Agricultural Development (SAAD); metropolitan and agri-based products cluster approach; corn processing center expansion; and biosecurity and climate-resilient production facilities.

 

According to Collado, the proposed budget is a product of consultative planning, encompassing the needs and priorities of the agricultural stakeholders in the region.

 

“We craft the budget using a bottom-up approach. The projects we propose are mainly based on the endorsement of the LGUs and the validated intentions we received from farmers’ cooperatives and associations in the region,” Collado said.

 

Statutory appropriation for gender and development, persons with disabilities, the elderly, and the youth, capacity development programs, and capacity building for devolved functions and services (Mandanas-Garcia ruling implementation) are also among the programs proposed for funding by the agency in 2025.

 

Under the proposed budget, DA-10 also seeks to complete the construction of its regional office, upgrade its research facilities, and establish a new integrated laboratory complex in the region.

 

This year, DA-10 secured a 19 percent GAA-approved budget from the RDC-10-endorsed budget proposal. (DA-10/PIA-10)

MALAYBALAY CITY, Bukidnon – The Office of the Vice President (OVP) Davao Satellite commemorates its 88th founding anniversary with a medical, surgical, and dental mission in the city’s hinterland village

According to a statement issued by the 403rd Brigade, around 300 people of Brgy. Kibalabag has given the free services held at its Brgy. Covered Court on November 11, 2023.

The activities were carried out in collaboration with the Office of the Provincial Governor, the 403rd Infantry “Peacemaker” Brigade, Bukas Kalinaw, the Davao City Medical and Dental Team, the City Health Office of Valencia City, Adventist Medical Center Valencia City, 3rd FSMP, 1364 Dental, Camp Evangelista Station Hospital (CESH), the 4th Infantry Division, the 8th Infantry Battalion, and the Kibalabag Barangay Council.

This coordinated effort is the product of a community immersion program organized by the Bukas Kalinaw, a Bukidnon-based non-profit organization. The program’s purpose was to assess the citizens’ health and socioeconomic position.

To that end, a volunteer team of doctors, surgeons, and nurses provided free high-quality medical care, surgery, and dental services, including medical consultations, circumcision, wart removal, cyst removal, dental checkups, and tooth extractions, as well as free medication and medical advice to those who could not afford private hospital care.

This program was inspired by the notion that access to high-quality healthcare is a basic human right.

Captain Anafe I. Paypa, the CMO Officer of 403rd Brigade expressed her gratitude to the residents of Brgy. Kibalabag for the support and warm accommodation.

She hopes that people will recognize the government’s efforts to reach out to remote areas so they can receive services and programs and that they won’t be misled by the CPP-NPA’s propaganda suggesting that the government ignores the needs of geographically isolated and disadvantaged areas like Kibalabag.

Moreover, Ms. Regina Rosa D. Tecson, OVP Officer-in-Charge of the Davao-based satellite office conveyed the intent of Vice President Sara Duterte in its programs that is anchored on its core purpose is “Lahat para sa Diyos, sa Bayan, at sa bawat pamilyang Pilipino”.

The Tree planting and distribution of bags are the flagship programs of VP Inday Sara that has proven to be beneficial to the communities even during her administration as Mayor.

On the other hand, this medical, surgical, and dental mission is their way of giving back to the communities in celebration of its 88th Founding Anniversary and will definitely bridge the gap between the people in need and medical communities. This is the way the government extends services and reaches out to the communities to ensure that they can access the program of the government.

Meanwhile, in a separate interview, Brigadier General Michele B. Anayron Jr, commander of 403 Brigade expressed his gratitude for choosing Bukidnon mostly in the Area of Responsibility of the 403rd Brigade to be the beneficiary of the PagbaBAGo program of the Vice President along with the medical, surgical and dental mission.

Together with the Bukas Kalinaw and other stakeholders, the Philippine Army

According to BGEN AnayRON, government agencies will keep helping to provide social services to the community and make sure that even the most isolated barangays and sitios will value the effort made by the government to provide basic services to improve the quality of life for Filipinos in order to promote sustainable peace and development and ultimately put an end to the insurgency.

Bukidnon, stakeholders nagkauban sa pagpreserbar, pagpanalipod sa kinaiyahan

Posted on by cmn

Gisiguro sa Provincial Government of Bukidnon (PGB) nga kauban kini sa pagpreserbar ug pagprotekta sa kinaiyahan, ilabi na sa paningkamot nga dili na mahilabtan ug matandog pa ang Mt. Kalatungan Range Natural Park (RNP), atol sa ika-17 nga Aldaw ta Kalatungan, Oktobre 18, 2023 sa Barangay Ticalaan, Talakag, Bukidnon, uban sa tema: “Building Alliance for Sustainable Ecosystem and Culture for Future Generations”

Sa pakigpolong sa gipadala ni Governor Rogelio Neil P. Roque nga si Stephanie Melendez, ang PGO-Indigenous Affairs Division designate, gipadangat niini nga 100% ang mapadayonong suporta sa PGB ngadto sa Protected Area Management Board (PAMB) – Mt. Kalatungan RNP diin dugay na lng gapaluyo ang pagsiguro nga mabantayan ang lasang, pinaagi sa Bantay Lasang Volunteers.

Gipasabot ni Municipal Administrator Roberto Bigcas sa lungsod sa Talakag nga gisaulog ang Aldaw ta Kalatungan aron madayeg ang kaanyag og ang importansya sa Mt. Kalatungan nga mao ang kinabuhi. Gilauman nga mahipatik sa panumduman sa tanan ang katungdanan sa pagprotekta ug pag-amping sa Mt. Kalatungan.

Pahinumdum ang mensahe ni Congressman Jose Manuel Alba sa unang distrito sa Bukidnon nga ang panglantaw sa pagpanalipod sa kinaiyahan, malangkubon ug angayang dili mahubit diha sa politikal nga utlanan, subay sa hiniusa nga paningkamot sa tanan kay ang pagprotekta sa kinaiyahan, pagpreserbar man usab sa kultura. Kini ang hinungdan nga madasigon kini sa pagpausbaw pa sa gisugdan nga kahinguhaan sa kawayan, pinaagi sa programang Bamboo Innovation Hub, isip alternatibo sa hardwood nga anaa makuha sa lasang.

Gihingusgan ni Datu Bagusayana Johnny Guina, ang chairman sa Mt. Kalatungan Council of Elders nga dili pasagdan ang DENR sa pagprotekta sa lasang. Angayan nga ang matag komunidad palibot sa Mt. Kalatungan magsig-iya ug bantay sa ilang mga teritoryo aron dili makahimo sa iligal ang mga tawo nga mangahas sa pagsulod dinhi.

Giila usab ni PENRO Vergilino Alima ang dakong tabang ug sakripisyo sa Bantay Lasang Volunteers kay tungod kanila, anaa pa ang kinabuhi sa lasang. Kung mahimo dili na tandugon pa ug angayang pahugtan ang pagbantay sa nahibiling lasang diha sa Mt. Kalatungan alang sa mosunod nga kaliwatan, ngalan nga ang Bukidnon mao ang kasingkasing sa Mindanao ug dinhi nagsumikad ang katubigan nga miawas ngadto sa mga silingang syudad ug probinsya sa Bukidnon.

Ang Mt. Kalatungan Range nga nahimutang sa mga lungsod sa Talakag, Maramag, Pangantucan, ug syudad sa Valencia nadeklara isip protected area pinasikad sa R.A. 7586 (NIPAS Act of 1992) sa tuig 2000, nga giila ug Mt. Kalatungan Range Natural Park. (LGU Bukidnon)
