Gov Uy inaugurates PhP 6.5M BDP projects in Calabcab, Maco

DAVAO DE ORO, January 13 (PIA) - Davao del Oro Provincial Governor Jayvee Tyron Uy inaugurated on Thursday three Barangay Development Program (BDP) projects worth PhP 6.5 million in Barangay Calabcab, Maco.

The projects launched were PhP 3-million Flood Control Project, PhP 3-million Sitio Street Electrification Project, and Cattle Livelihood Project worth PhP 500,000.

Governor Uy congratulated the residents of the barangay for keeping their community, free from insurgent, which caused them to have PhP 20-million BDP projects from the administration of President Rodrigo Duterte through the National Task Force To End Local Communist Armed Conflict (NTF ELCAC).

Aside from the inaugurated projects, a total of 265 persons benefited last year from the Cash for Work program worth PhP 2-million.

Also, two projects are still ongoing, namely, PhP 1.5-million Improvement of Health Center, and PhP 10-million Water System Project.

The governor also stressed that there is no reason for the community to support again the communist movement.

“Maghugpong gyud ta (against the NPA). Dili nata magpasulod dinhi. Unsa bay natabang nila sa atoa? Ang nadala lamang nila kay kasamok lang man sa unang panahon.” (Let us unite (against the NPA). Let us not allow them to enter our place. What help did we get from them? They only brought chaos before.)

Meanwhile, residents of the barangay expressed their gratitude to the government for projects implemented in their community.

Lany Bolongon, 48, is thankful for the cattle that their family received hoping that the animal will help them soon in providing additional finances for the education of their children.

Likewise, Henry Valiente, 60, is grateful for the flood control project is a big help to prevent disaster from happening in their community.

“Kaning lugar namo dinha agianan gyud nag baha. Katong Pablo, dako kaayo ang tubig dinha, awas-awas jud. Milapos sa baryo kay kusog kaayo ang tubig. Nalipay gani mi ron nga nahimoan nag dike para depensa sa among balay diri sa ubos para dili pud mi trahedyahan, di na jud siya moawas,” Henry Valiente (Our area there is the pathway for flood. During Pablo, the water there has overflown. It has reached the barrio because of the strong current. We are happy now that they constructed a dike to protect our houses here to prevent any tragedy to happen; now, the water will no longer overflow.) (PIA11, Michael Uy)
