DA inaugurates P109
million road project in Dinagat Islands
By Emmylou Presilda
SAN JOSE, Dinagat Islands, Oct. 2 (PIA) -- The Department of
Agriculture- Philippine Rural Development Project (DA-PRDP) in Caraga Region
headed by Director Abel James I. Monteagudo turned over to the province of
Dinagat Islands through Governor Arlene "Kaka" J. Bag-ao the 3.62
kilometer R. Ecleo to Upper Laguna Farm-to-Market Road (FMR) on September 25,
2020 in Cagdianao town, this province.
The completed road concreting worth P109.4 million is a joint project
funded by the World Bank, the Philippine Government and the Provincial
Government of Dinagat Island.
The road covers three barangays that include barangay R. Ecleo, barangay
Maatas, and barangay Upper Laguna with 794 household beneficiaries, 777 of
which are farmers and fisherfolks. It also benefits 3,947 inhabitants of the
said barangays and its surrounding communities.
The said FMR has given farmers easy access to the market in bringing
their products like corn, cassava, coconut, fishery, and other local products
with less cost and time.
In her message, Governor Kaka Bag-ao expressed gratitude together with
its people for the FMR which she said has pump-prime the economy of the
province since after the road was completed, farmers started to expand their
production areas and idle lands are slowly utilized and small enterprises are
slowly springing up in the area with the road in place.
"This project has not only given us road, but it has also given us
the hope that development is possible in this new province,” Gov. Bag-ao said.
Upper Laguna Farmers Association Chairman Rogelio Padilla who is into
Corn Seeds Production is also grateful for the completed project.
He said, they are overjoyed with the help of the Department of
Agriculture through PRDP being the only BPI-accredited corn seed producer in
the island, and they are excited to till additional areas for production
because aside from the equipment given to them, they can now smoothly bring
their products to their intended market.
Meanwhile, Regional Director Abel James I. Monteagudo expressed
his support to the province's development plans for the benefit of the farmers
and fisherfolks.
"All roads lead to progress. It has been known from the very
beginning that when there is a road, areas will be developed. I hope to be back
in 5 years from now and see a more lively and developed community here in
Dinagat," Director Monteagudo said.
Moreover, around 21 farm-owners who donated a portion of their
land that has been affected by the construction of the R. Ecleo to Upper Laguna
FMR were awarded Certificates of Recognition by the Provincial Government of
Dinagat Island recognizing that without them giving the Right-of-Way, the road
would not have been established.
These Project Affected Persons (PAPs), upon understanding the importance
of the project through a meaningful consultation that was conducted before the
start of the project, willingly gave a portion of their land which is an
important requirement for the smooth construction of every road project. Aside
from monetary compensation, they also benefitted from tax deduction on portions
of their land being donated to the project as facilitated by the Provincial
Government.
As a highlight of the ceremony, stakeholders of the newly turned over R.
Ecleo to Upper Laguna FMR were made to sign the Project Memorabilia to mark each
one's commitment to the maintenance and sustainability of the project.
The signing was led by Director Abel James I. Monteagudo, Governor
Arlene "Kaka" Bag-ao, the Sangguniang Panlalawigan Members,
PPMIU-Dinagat Team, Municipal Officials of Cagdianao, Barangay councils of R.
Ecleo, Maatas, and Upper Laguna, and the farmer-beneficiaries of the project. (InfoACE-Caraga/PIA-Dinagat

TALACOGON,
Agusan del Sur, Oct. 2 -- As advocates of education, the GMA Kapuso Foundation
(GMAKF), together with the 26th Infantry (Ever Onward) Battalion (26IB),
Philippine Army visited various public schools in Agusan del Sur
on September 23-25, 2020.
The
said activity was part of the "Unang Hakbang sa Kinabukasan"
Project of the GMAKF, which aims to distribute school materials to
incoming Kinder to Grade 2 pupils to different public schools in the
Philippines especially those from distant communities.
A total
of 960 pupils were given school materials to 11 chosen schools from the 26IB
area of jurisdiction which are considered as geographically isolated and
conflict-affected areas in Agusan del Sur.
In
observance of COVID-19 protocols, the parents of the pupils personally received
the school materials together with coronavirus disease 2019
(COVID-19) hygiene kits.
"We
are glad that despite the fact that our school is geographically isolated in
which two rivers need to be crossed, still it is given a chance to receive
school materials for our pupils. This will minimize the burden of less
fortunate families in providing school materials for their children," said
Joel Painit, teacher-in-charge of Agsabu Elementary School, Brgy. Agsabu,
Esperanza, Agusan del Sur.
To
ensure safety during the three-day distribution of school materials, the 26IB
under the leadership of Lt. Col. Reynald Romel A. Goce, provided security and
manpower assistance which greatly contributes to the success of the said
activity. "We are very lucky that the Philippine Army is always ready to
move and give us assistance in order to succeed in our endeavor and advocacy in
helping the less fortunate families especially here in Agusan del Sur,"
bared Aron Calma, GMAKF project staff.
Meanwhile,
Lt. Col. Reynald Romel Goce, 26IB commanding officer expressed his
gratitude to the GMAKF for choosing the schools under the jurisdiction of the
battalion. "This kind of activity is a big contribution to the sustainment
of peace at the same time to bring happiness to the people, making them feel
that they are not forgotten," he said.
"Your
Ever Onward troopers are always ready to extend necessary support to LGUs and
NGOs as we assure you our full commitment on these noble undertakings,"
Goce added. (CMO, 26IB/PIA-Agusan del Sur)
Butuan City launches
urban agri project
By
Vaness P. Sanchez
BUTUAN
CITY, Oct. 2 -- As the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) health crisis
continues to take a toll on the lives of many Filipinos, the Department of
Agriculture (DA) – Caraga also continues to advocate backyard vegetable
gardening to help ease the impact of the pandemic.
Recently,
the DA-Caraga has partnered with the City Agriculture Office of Butuan to
launch the urban agriculture in Fort Poyohon, one of the urban barangays in the
city.
In a
message, DA – Caraga Supervising Agriculturist Melody Guimary said that the
unavailability of wide vacant lots should not be a hindrance to having your own
food production initiative.
“With
urban agriculture, we only need a little space, or we can also make use of
empty containers to plant on so there is no excuse that one cannot plant,” she
said.
In
addition, Guimary said that since urban areas are usually densely populated
hence it has a higher food demand and this is why having one’s own food
production initiative is important especially at this time when the people’s
movement is limited.
Urban agriculture
is one of the initiatives under the Ahon Lahat, Pagkaing Sapat or ALPAS COVID
which is otherwise known as the Plant Plant Plant Program which was launched by
the DA in response to the global pandemic. The program aims to provide
adequate, accessible, and affordable food for every Filipino family.
On the
other hand, Butuan City Agriculture Office OIC Pierre Anthony Joven said it is
really important to have one’s own food source to overcome the challenges posed
by the global pandemic.
Fort
Poyohon is one of the urban barangays of Butuan City. It has 1,200 households
and a population of 6,000.
Barangay
Chairman Archie Palad said that they are thankful for the support of the
government and for teaching the people various ways to cope with the pandemic.
DA –
Caraga High-Value Crops Development Program Coordinator Marco Antonio Morido
said that in support of the program, the DA provided the community with
planting materials, pots, fertilizer, as well as technical assistance. (DA

Army thwarts NPA arson attempt in Agusan Norte
By 1Lt.
Edmar C. Colagong
PLACER,
Surigao del Norte, Oct. 2 -- The 29th Infantry (Matatag) Battalion (29IB),
Philippine Army foiled the attempt of the communist NPA terrorists (CNTs) to
conduct sabotage after a firefight ensued in Barangay Baleguian, Jabonga,
Agusan del Norte, Tuesday evening, September 29.
Based
on the report, the soldiers immediately conducted combat patrol upon receiving
reports from the concerned civilians about the presence of more or less five
CNTs believed to be members of Sandatahang Yunit Pampropaganda 16A,
Guerilla Front 16. Identified among the perpetrators are Marvin Bugas, who
hails from Barangay Hagupit, Santiago, Agusan del Norte; and Eliamar Elecito
Monter, who is from Baleguian, Jabonga of the same province. It is significant
to note that Eliamar Elecito Monter hails from the same barangay where the
thwarted arson attempt of the NPA happened.
The
said clash lasted for about three minutes afterwhich the communist terrorists
fled in haste towards the east direction of the encounter site leaving their
personal stuff and container with gasoline that they will use for torching. No
one was hurt on the government side while developing reports indicated that NPA
suffered casualties in the said firefight.
According
to the 29IB, the unit that has operational jurisdiction over the area, the
encounter site was few meters away from the site of Reyrose Construction who is
implementing an irrigation project in the said place. The project was intended
for the Baleguian Farmers Irrigators Association (BOFIA), an organization
formerly influenced by the CTG but already cut their ties and denounced the
CTG.
Initial
investigation reveals that extortion was the main motive behind the failed
attempt.
In his
statement, 29IB Battalion Commander Lt. Col. Isagani O Criste said that the
operation conducted was an intel driven effort in response to reliable and
timely information provided by the locals. He also added that their
action was a manifestation of their commitment to secure the developmental
projects and activities within their area of responsibility.
Meanwhile,
Col. George Banzon, 901st Infantry (Fight’Em) Brigade Commander, lauded the
rapid response of the ground troops that led to the prevention of NPA sabotage.
He added that involvement of locals within the community is vital for the
security forces to have a prompt and responsive action on the ground.
“We
will have an effective course of action in preventing this threat group from
doing atrocity if the community will cooperate and will not hide information.
What transpired in the recent incident is a classic manifestation that we can
make a difference if we will actively participate in the peace efforts in our
respective communities,” he said. (AGS) PA, CMO Officer, 29IB, 4ID/PIA

Partner agencies intensify
RCSP in Agusan del Norte
By Robert
E. Roperos
BUTUAN
CITY, Oct. 2 -- In support to the flagship program of the province of Agusan
del Norte dubbed as “Agusan Up!,” partner agencies have intensified the
implementation of the Retooled Community Support Program (RCSP) in the
province.
This,
after residents of Brgy. Tagbongabong in the municipality of Remedios T.
Romualdez (RTR), Agusan del Norte have underwent training on organic vegetable
production.
TESDA-Agusan
del Norte Provincial Director Rey M. Cueva said this is through the RCSP for
which the primary aim of the training is to provide food security to households
which is in line with the directives of TESDA Sec. Isidro S. LapeΓ±a.
Dir.
Cueva said residents of Brgy. Tagbongabong will learn how to produce an organic
vegetable through backyard gardening. “Right at their own backyard, they will
be able to plant and harvest organic vegetables not only for their personal
consumption but also as a source of livelihood. Later on, the community will
establish a communal garden,” Cueva added.
Dir.
Cueva further said the launching which was held recently was made possible
through the convergence of the following agencies: Office of the 2nd
Congressional District of Agusan del Norte through Congresswoman Ma. Angelica
Rosedell Amante-Matba, LGU-Agusan del Norte with the leadership of Governor
Dale B. Corvera, Philippine Army’s 65th Infantry Battalion headed by Lt. Col.
Benjamin Pajarito, Agricultural Training Institute (ATI) under its Center
Director – Samuel L. Alonzo, Local Government Unit of RTR through Mayor Richard
B. Daquipil, and the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority
(TESDA)-Agusan del Norte Provincial Office.
The
official likewise said ATI has provided trainers as well as the basic tools for
gardening such as bolos as well as chicken dung, 31 sacks of vermicompost
fertilizers, 90 pots, 30 seedling trays, 31 sweat shirts and assorted seeds.
The
Philippine Army, on the other hand, has conducted clearing operations of the
area and after having been declared cleared, the agencies came-in to provide
basic services to the residents. “… and this undertaking is one of those basic
services,” Cueva said.
The
RCSP was formulated in order to strengthen the community support program
initiatives of the military and making the efforts of the LGUs driven. With
the implementation of the RCSP, Local Chief Executives (LCEs) will be champions
of the RCSP through their programs, projects and activities (PPAs) that are
geared towards institutionalizing sustainable peace and development.
It is
also an inclusive program that aims to address identified issues of the
community by closing the governance and develop gaps through the provision of
needed government PPAs while ensuring that development is sustained and peace
is being promoted.
It was
learned that Barangays Tagbongabong and San Antonio in RTR are among the areas
in Agusan del Norte that are included in the RCSP. Last year, a total of
150 members of the New People’s Army (NPA) and Militia ng Bayan (MBs) in Brgy.
Tagbongabong have surrendered to the government troops. (TESDA Agusan del
