CLAVERIA, Misamis Oriental – A groundbreaking ceremony of the Local Government Support Fund—Support to Barangay Development Program (LGSF-SBDP) was held for the seven Local Access Roads of five barangays in the municipality of Salay, MisOr, on March 21, 2022.
Bunal, Tinagaan, Yungod, Membuli, and Looc are among Misamis Oriental’s 40 SBDP 2021 beneficiary barangays, each receiving PHP 20 million. The funds from the LGDF-SBDP will be used to build local access roads in each of the barangays.
The Barangay beneficiaries recalled and praised the Army’s efforts in their areas over the years in conducting Community Support Operations (CSP), which paved the way for road improvements and access roads to be built. They also praised the national government and local administration for improving their quality of life and constructing road projects that are desperately needed by residents, as these projects will undoubtedly help them with community development and livelihood sustainability.
Hon. Angelo G. Capistrano Jr., the Municipal Mayor, believes that the completion of these projects will undoubtedly help Salay’s peace and order situation, paving the way for progress and development. Because their residents have shown support and cooperation for the government’s efforts, these will also eliminate the presence of armed locals.
Meanwhile, 58IB’s Commanding Officer, Lt. Col. Ricky L. Canatoy, is pleased with the implementation of the stated local access roads, believing that it will have a significant impact on the unit’s overall mission success. The road to putting an end to insurgency is the road itself. In order to intensify and sustain this program, local government units, national and local government agencies, and other stakeholders must all commit. And I am confident that with the residents’ help and cooperation, this project will be a success.”
The ceremony was spearheaded by Hon. Angelo G. Capistrano, Municipal Mayor, together with Hon. Rey Amelito K Tan, Vice Mayor, Engr. Marisia Naybe, Provincial Director, DILG Misamis Oriental, Engr. Maria Theresa Neri, Project Engineer of Mikkil Construction, the Barangay Chairmans, BFP, PNP, and the 58th Infantry Dimalulupig Battalion.
