DavNor's KAAGAPAY Program backs BP2P

DAVAO DEL NORTE, Feb. 18, 2022 (PIA) -- Apart from the various sources of financial and livelihood assistance supporting the Balik Probinsya, Bagong Pag-asa (BP2P) Program of the national government, the Kawsa sa Agrikultura ug Panginabuhian sa Barangay (KAAGAPAY) Program of the Province of Davao Del Norte is also backing the BP2P beneficiaries in the province.

The KAAGAPAY Program is a livelihood and food-sufficiency flagship program of Provincial Governor Edwin I. Jubahib's administration backed by the Sangguniang Panlalawigan Board Members.

It was established to support the residents of the province with their daily needs as the COVID-19 pandemic continues to surge.

KAAGAPAY beneficiaries received seedlings of vegetables and fruit trees. Residents were also given chickens for them to raise where a stable market is waiting for their chickens after 3-5 months.

As returnees to the province, the BP2P beneficiaries also received seedlings and chickens after being organized as a group and formed an association to easily identify them and respond to them.

The assistance they received from the KAAGAPAY Program is just part on top of the assistance handed to them by the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), the Department of Agriculture (DA), the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE), and the Provincial Agriculture Office (PAGRO).

Davao del Norte has pioneered the implementation of BP2P being the first to have facilitated on March 19, 2021 the return of 19 individuals who once were residing in the congested urban areas of Metro Manila. (PIA XI Davao del Norte/jmda/Ezri M. Coda, Jr. with reports from PIO - Davao Del Norte).
