public servants who worked in different departments and offices in the

Descaya
further emphasized that the community tour was part of the kindergarten
curriculum. “This activity will inspire our young learners on what they would
like to be when they grow up and provide awareness and appreciation of the
natural and physical environment of each office as they wore different attires
of the different government offices including the Philippine Army,” she said.
Happiness
was noticeable in the little faces of the pupils as they enjoyed the various
exhibits, distribution of souvenirs and other activities such as pictorials,
face painting and photo booth. “Dako among pasalamat sa 26IB nga ilang

to the 26IB for this opportunity that they shared with the school children.
This is just a simple activity, yet it creates a big impact to their minds and
hearts),” one of the parents said.
Meanwhile,
the 26IB expressed its gratitude to the faculty of the school and the
Parents-Teachers Association (PTA) for bringing their children to the modern
and institutionalized army facility, be closer to the armies and be their
inspiration, as it would create a huge impact to the children’s perception and
win their trust.
“As we
continue our reform initiatives through the implementation of the Army
Transformation Roadmap (ATR), we actively support, advocate and participate in
different peacebuilding discourse in the country. These include consultations
and dialogues from various sectors, in the fulfillment of its support role in
the government's peace thrust,” said 26IB Commanding Officer Lt. Col. Romeo C.
Jimenea.
“This
educational tour creates a huge impact in the minds of young learners as we
instill in them the concept of soldiers being modern heroes and friendly
neighbors. In addition, being patriotic and loyal to our government is very
essential in their growing stage for they are the hope and heirs of our
nation,” Jimenea added. (CMO Officer, 3SFBn/PIA-Agusan del Sur)

POPCOM challenges
LGUs for quality family
By Angelita B. Antonio
BUTUAN
CITY, Feb. 5 -- The regional office of the Commission on Population and
Development (POPCOM) summoned the population officers and workers of the
provinces, cities, and municipalities in Caraga region to concentrate all their
efforts and resources on changing the lives of women, children, and adolescents
for the better.
In the
program assessment and planning workshop held earlier, POPCOM Caraga Regional
Director Alexander A. Makinano pointed out that by putting people’s needs and
aspirations upfront these will contribute to the achievement of United Nation’s
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that includes no poverty, good health and
well-being, gender equality, reduced inequality, climate action, and
partnerships to achieve the goal.
This
major transition, among others, is expected to contribute to POPCOM’s PPMP
targets that involve (1) enabling couples and individuals to plan their number
of children in the context of responsible parenthood, (2) preventing early and
repeated pregnancy among adolescents, and (3) enabling regional, sectoral, and
local government agencies to integrate population factors and dynamics in
development interventions.
Carrying
over the programs on Responsible Parenthood and Family Planning (RP-FP),
Adolescent Health and Development (AHD), and Population and Development
(POPDEV) integration entails that local population offices in the region will
administer programs and activities with POPCOM regional office providing
supervisory and monetary assistance.
POPCOM-Caraga
continues to provide technical and logistical support to LGUs in making demand
generation and service delivery, particularly among women with unmet needs on
modern family planning from poor households and communities.
This
forms part of the continuing effort to intensify the implementation of the
Philippine Population Management Program (PPMP) and the National Program on
Family Planning (NPPFP), POPCOM will mobilize Local Government Units (LGUs) by
operationalizing its major program thrusts at the grassroots.
This
new scheme covers POPCOM’s thrusts from 2020 to 2022. It is set to roll
out in the succeeding meetings and conferences that will involve its stakeholders.
