TUBOD, Lanao del Norte, Oct. 27 (PIA) -- Gov. Mohammad Khalid Dimaporo of this province turned over Php3.15 million as provincial counterpart for the KALAHI-CIDSS Makamasang Tugon (MT) project implementation in the towns of Sapad and Salvador.
TUBOD, Lanao del Norte ­- The provincial government of Lanao del Norte is now preparing a program of activities in celebration of the “Eid Al-Adha“ festival on Sunday, Nov. 6.
This amount represents 30 percent counterpart of the grant given to the said municipalities for the KALAHI- CIDSS-MT, as part of the principles of accountability towards the sub-project.
One of the major highlights during the celebration is the “Korban“ or “beef-sharing“ festival slated at the Provincial Trade Center at Sagadan, at this fast-rising capital town of Lanao del Norte province.
“As far as the counterpart is concerned, the province is always ready to shoulder 50 percent of the total counterpart. I want to challenge all the municipalities in Lanao del Norte to implement projects to develop their municipalities,” Gov. Dimaporo said.
The “Eid Al-Adha“, also known as the “Festival of Sacrifice“, is the second most momentous festival in the Muslim calendar.
Kapit Bisig Laban sa Kahirpan – Comprehensive and Integrated Delivery of Social Services or KALAHI-CIDSS is a community driven development (CDD) project and is one of the poverty reduction projects of the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD).
“This is an Islamic celebration to commemorate the willingness of Prophet Ibrahim to follow God’s command to sacrifice his son Ishmael,“ said Lanao del Norte Gov. Mohamad Khalid Q. Dimaporo.
It aims to empower communities, enhance local governance and reduce poverty by providing seed funds for infrastructure projects funded by World Bank (WB).
Lanao del Norte, the “Land of Beauty and Bounty“, is the first province in the Philippines that will celebrate this very significant festivity through meat sharing with its constituents, added the provincial Chief Executive.
