With the upgrading, the said facility covered six units of folding beds, along with essential medical tools and equipment.

The ceremonial ribbon-cutting was witnessed by Mayor LaΓ±ete, PNP chief Captain John Zydrick Preciados, Sangguniang Bayan members, SK Federation president, and indigenous people mandatory representative (IPMR).

In her message, the local chief executive emphasized that the local community in Barangay Villaverde requested and appealed for this project. The leaders in the locality listened and immediately responded and were willing to assist the needs of their people, including projects and programs for the betterment of the community.

Guided by the principle of #GalayCares, the said initiative represented a significant milestone in the unwavering pursuit of public service and the championing of community-driven development.

Meanwhile, the KC-NCDDP is one of the poverty alleviation programs of the government implemented by the DSWD. It uses the community-driven development approach, a globally recognized strategy for achieving service delivery, poverty reduction, and good governance outcomes.
