KIAMBA, Sarangani, March 2 (PIA) – A Department of Education (DepEd) official lauded the barangay council and community of barangay Salakit for choosing a school building project over other sub-projects under the Department of Social Welfare and Development’s Kapit-bisig Laban sa Kahirapan-Comprehensive and Integrated Delivery of Social Services (KALAHI-CIDSS) program. | |||
During the turnover and inauguration ceremony of a three-classroom building for Salakit National High School Wednesday (February 29), Dr. Ruth Estacio, assistant schools division superintendent, quoted that “Whatever you want to put into a nation, put it into her school.” | |||
“If we want to invest in our nation, let’s invest in educating our youth because we need professionals in building our nation,” Estacio said. “So with that, I congratulate all of the people behind the success of this project.” | |||
KALAHI-CIDSS is the Philippine government’s flagship poverty-alleviation project implemented by the DSWD through the financial support of the World Bank. | |||
The three-classroom school building with a total cost of P1,684,552.50 was funded through a counterparting scheme by KALAHI-CIDSS that contributed P968,261 and provincial government of Sarangani with P669,140.70 for the completion of the project. | |||
The municipal government of Kiamba counterparted P6,396.25 while the barangay council of Salakit contributed P6,103.75 and the community with a contribution of P34,650. The project will benefit 392 households from the seven puroks of the barangay. | |||
Barangay Captain Onofre Donato thanked Governor Migs Dominguez for approving the budget needed as the province’s counterpart for the completion of the project. | |||
According to KALAHI-CIDSS workers, in Kiamba alone a total of six sub-projects have been implemented with a total cost of P10,556,500. This is broken down to P8,550,000 from KALAHI-CIDSS and P2,006,500 from local counterparts contribution. These projects are elementary schools in barangay Badtasan and barangay Gasi; high schools in barangay Salakit, barangay Kling and barangay Lomuyon; and river flood control project in barangay Luma.
