Moreover, he also intends to continue the conduct of his flagship program on peace and developmen­t called Nagakakais­ang Lingkod-Bayan ng Davao Oriental Barangay Outreach Caravan, which now becomes a model peace and developmen­t strategy in the country for bringing all government agencies together to provide basic services to far-flung and conflict-affected communitie­s.
