𝐑𝐨𝐨𝐭𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞: 𝐁𝐚𝐦𝐛𝐨𝐨 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐄𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭

The 56th Infantry “TATAG” Battalion, 7th Infantry “KAUGNAY” Division, Philippine Army and DENR in collaboration with various agencies, hosted an event celebrating World Bamboo Day and Philippine Bamboo Month in support of local communities. This initiative aims to safeguard the Pantaron Mountain Range, an essential part of our local ecosystem and the waterhead source for the Tagum-Libuganon River, Lasang River, and Davao River.

This activity is part of a broader effort to prevent the resurgence and presence of Communist Terrorist Groups (CTGs) in the area, which have long utilized the Pantaron Mountain Range as a haven and lair.

The event took place on September 18, 2024, at Sitio Palisan, Brgy. Palma Gil, Talaingod, Davao del Norte. It focused on planting bamboo trees, a crucial measure for stabilizing soil and preventing erosion. Following the tree-planting activities, a community outreach program benefited the residents of Sitio Natulinan and Sitio Palisan.

This impactful initiative brought together a coalition of partners, including the Provincial Government of Davao del Norte, PENRO-LGU, MENRO Talaingod, CENRO New Corilla, LGU Talaingod, LGU Kapalong, Tribal office, Port Management Office of Davao, BFP-Talaingod, MDRRMC Talaingod, MPS-Talaingod, DNPPO-Team ELCAC, DOST, USEP, DNSC,DTI, 7th ARCEN, WPP, local NGOs, and community organizations.

The outreach program made a substantial impact, benefiting around 600 individuals, including 200 families. Participants received essential items such as 300 food packs, used clothing, free haircut services, free forage, and ice cream. This generous support was made possible through the collaboration of the 56th Infantry Battalion and its stakeholders. “This initiative is a game changer for our bamboo industry and a testament to the power of community,” said LTC EMMANUEL R GARCIA, INF (GSC) PA "Together, we are not only planting trees but also sowing the seeds of sustainable growth and unity.”

Furthermore bamboo tree-planting and community outreach program represents a significant leap toward enhancing local livelihoods while promoting environmental stewardship. This collaborative effort underscores the vital role of community engagement in achieving sustainable development goals.

The 56th Infantry Battalion is committed to environmental preservation and will continue to uphold development initiatives that sustain the gains in the municipality of Talaingod.

Empowering Communities: The Reaching Out People's Organization

The sun shone brightly over the rolling hills of San Fernando, Bukidnon, as a spirit of hope and collaboration filled the air. Lieutenant Emmanuel F. Carido, Officer-in-Charge of Charlie “CRAWLERS” Company 89IB, and Corporal Jan Alfred M. Ofiana, Acting CMO NCO of the same company, stood alongside Mrs. Larina B. Tagaloguin, head of the Municipal Social Welfare and Development Office. Together, they were about to embark on a journey of empowerment, one that would bring sustainable livelihood to the local farming communities.

The occasion was the official handover of ten (10) goats as goat-raising project, a vital component of the Sustainable Livelihood Program (SLP). Five local farmers’ associations – LUSIMADAMA Trival Community Farmers Association, Palacpacan Bahani Farmers Association, San Miguel Farmers Association, Salurayan Farmers Association, and Dao Bahani Farmers Association – were the proud recipients. Each association received a male and female goat, a gift that promised not only a source of income but also a symbol of hope for a brighter future.

Mr. Mion Catawanan, representing LUSIMADAMA, accepted the goats with a grateful smile. “This project is a blessing for our community,” he said. “It will help us improve our lives and provide for our families.” His sentiments were echoed by the other representatives, each expressing their heartfelt appreciation for the opportunity to participate in this transformative program.

The handover ceremony was a testament to the strong partnership between the military, the local government, and the farming communities. It was a day of shared vision, a day where the seeds of progress were sown, and a day that promised a brighter future for the people of San Fernando, Bukidnon. The goats, symbols of resilience and prosperity, were more than just livestock; they were a tangible representation of the commitment to uplift the lives of those who work tirelessly to feed their families and build a better future.

Statement from Partido Demokratiko Pilipino (PDP)

The Partido Demokratiko Pilipino (PDP) formalized on Friday (Sept. 20, 2024) its alliance with three political parties to solidify its ranks for the upcoming 2025 polls.

Formalized during the PDP National Assembly at the D’ Leonor Inland Resort in Davao City is the party’s alliance with the Partido para sa Demokratikong Reporma (Partido Reporma), Pederalismo ng Dugong Dakilang Samahan (PDDS), and the Mayor Rodrigo Roa Duterte–National Executive Coordinating Committee (MRRD-NECC).

Former Presidential Anti-Corruption (PACC) chairman Greco Belgica, the founder of PDDS, and former House Speaker Pantaleon Alvarez of the Partido Reporma were on hand to formally sign the agreement for the alliance of their parties with PDP, who was represented by its chairman and former President Rodrigo Roa Duterte. The former president also represented the MRRD-NECC.

The PDP resolution to enter into an alliance with the three political entities was adopted during the party’s National Meeting held in Cebu City last April.

Before the signing of the agreement between PDP and the three political parties, PDP President and Senator Robin Padilla said at the opening of the National Assembly that those who chose to remain with the party and be part of it are truly courageous individuals.

“Those who remain with the party who are present in this National Assembly all have real courage,” he said in Filipino.

The National Assembly drew more than 1,200 PDP officials and members nationwide, according to PDP Secretary-General Atty. Aimee Torrefranca-Neri.

She said in a formal report at the start of the National Assembly that the more than 1,200 who attended translates to 100-percent regional representation; 90-percent provincial representation; and 80-percent representation of national officers and committees.
