Brgy outreach caravan helps Davor farmers
Barangays in Davao Oriental benefit from NLD
BANAYBANAY, Davao Oriental – Almost 3,000 needy residents of the three barangays in the Municipality of Banaybanay availed of free goods and services from the recently held Nagkakaisang Lingkod-Bayan ng Davao Oriental (NLD) Barangay Outreach Caravan.
The two-day event was held in barangays Mahayag and Kauswagan on February 27 and in barangay Paniquian on the following day. The barangays are the fifth, sixth, and seventh recipients, respectively, of the regular program of the provincial government in its effort to bring the government services directly to the people, and were chosen as beneficiaries after the Philippine Army conducted needs assessment on the area.
These three remote communities are said to have less access on the government services. People mostly depend their livelihood on farming coconut, vegetables, and rice, and in selling firewood.
In line with this, town Mayor Adalia Tambuang expressed her gratitude to the governor being the “brainchild of this event to bring government closer to the people”. She said that “this is of great help” and added that Banaybanay LGU allocated budget for the meals of the beneficiaries as a counterpart for the said endeavor.
Governor Nelson Dayanghirang told the residents that it is his dream for the province of Davao Oriental to achieve longlasting peace and progress.
“We came here to serve your community and I am thankful for your support and trust. All these efforts are directed toward the province’s progress and peace. Let us avoid conflict because we cannot achieve the progress that we have been dreaming of without peace. Therefore, I am asking for unity,” he said.
