- By Maricel V. Cruz

TINGOG party-list Rep. Yedda Marie Romualdez and Speaker Martin Romualdez on Friday said more people can now avail of government services closer to their homes following the launch of three more Alagang Tingog Center (ATC) in Davao del Norte province.

On Thursday, Tingog expanded its outreach program with the inaugurati­on of separate ATCs in Tagum City and the municipali­ties of Asuncion and San Isidro. Just a day before, Tingog also formally opened an ATC each in Samal Island, Panabo City, and the municipali­ty of Carmen.

“Consistent with Tingog’s mission to bring forth change, hope, and progress, we are pursuing the mission to reach out to more people, especially those in remote areas, to make it easier for them to avail of government services,” Rep. Romualdez said.

Romualdez, wife of the Speaker, also thanked the concerned local officials for their cooperatio­n and assistance in the establishm­ent of the ATCs in their respective jurisdicti­ons as well as the people of Davao Del Norte for their warm reception.

“Salamat po sa lahat ng ating local officials sa suporta nila ganun din po sa ating mga kababayan sa Davao del Norte sa mainit nilang pagtanggap. Huwag po kayong mag-atubili na pumunta sa ating mga ATC at makakaasa kayo na gagawin namin ang aming makakaya upang maihatid sa inyo ang karampatan­g serbisyo,” she added.

“With these new ATCs, many of our people in the province of Davao del Norte can enjoy needed government services practicall­y next to their doorstep, sparing them the inconvenie­nce of traveling to urban centers for this purpose. I hope and pray for the success of this endeavor so we can reach out to more people in the future,” the Speaker said. The ribbon-cutting for the additional ATCs in the province was led by Davao del Norte Vice Gov. Oyo Uy and House Deputy Secretary General Ponyong Gabonada.
