44 Agencies Provide Various Programs And Services To Remote Community | |||
GENERAL SANTOS CITY – Some 2,000 residents of Malita town in Davao del Sur have benefited from the convergence of programs and services conducted by the Association of Regional Executives of National Agencies (ARENA) in Region-11 and the Army’s 10th Infantry Division recently. | |||
Some 44 national government agencies provided services to the local residents, including job fairs, medical missions, and educational campaign during the activity, said ARENA-11 president Achilles Gerard Bravo. | |||
The Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) offered an array of employment facilitation services for an easier and faster means of finding jobs. | |||
The Department of Health (DOH) assisted rural health units in its distribution of medicines, information, education, and communication materials. | |||
While the Department of Education (DEPED) conducted information and dissemination drive to the parents about its newly implemented K+12 program and distributed school supplies, while the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) also launched information and dissemination campaign and skills demonstration. | |||
“The purpose of the activity is to bring the government services directly to the people, which complemented the Peace and Development Outreach Program (PDOP) of the 10th Infantry Division,” Bravo said. | |||
For his part, Army spokesperson Captain William Rodriguez said, through the Peace and Development Teams (PDTs) from the 1002nd Army Brigade, that the government was able to identify the issues and concerns prevailing in the far-flung communities that need to be addressed by concerned government agencies. | |||
As this developed, Malita Municipal Mayor Benjamin Bautista lauded the ARENA-11 for bringing the govern¬ment services to Malita. | |||
He added that the presence of the military not only provided security but also facilitated the delivery of basic social services even in far-flung com¬munities. | |||
Brigadier General Ariel Bernardo, 10th ID commander, said the govern¬ment has various programs for various social issues, which was exemplified through the spirit of “Bayanihan, Serbisyo Caravan” shown by the various stakeholders of peace and develop¬ment efforts in the area. | |||
