May 18–29, 2026 – As the year approaches its midpoint, the Office of Civil Defense (OCD) Region XII, under the leadership of Regional Director Rodrigo O. Sosmeña, sustained its momentum in delivering technical assistance across the region through its Capacity Building and Training Section (CBTS).

Throughout May, OCD Region XII conducted a series of regionwide technical assistance activities for local government units (LGUs), further strengthening local capacities and reinforcing disaster preparedness initiatives. OCD XII personnel served as cadres, instructors, and facilitators to ensure that all activities and training courses adhered to established standards and instructional guidelines.

Among the key activities conducted were the workshops for the Enhanced Local Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Plans (eLDRRMPs) of South Cotabato and Sarangani Province.

The South Cotabato eLDRRMP Finalization Workshop gathered 25 participants from the Provincial LDRRMP Planning Team. Serving as facilitators and instructors were Ariel A. Acosta, MDRRM Officer of Jose Abad Santos, together with Janilyn Astrid T. Bartolome, Jorie Mae E. Balmediano, and Ma. Charmaine C. Castronuevo of OCD Region XII.

Meanwhile, the Sarangani Province eLDRRMP Training Workshop engaged 80 participants from seven municipalities and the Provincial Government of Sarangani. Instructors and Facilitators included Janilyn Astrid T. Bartolome, Jorie Mae E. Balmediano, Ma. Charmaine C. Castronuevo of OCD Region XII, and Quennie Jann Manglicmot, the Admin and Training officer of Sultan Kudarat PDRRMO.

In support of strengthening incident management systems at the local level, OCD Region XII also facilitated several Incident Command System (ICS) courses across the region.
A five-day ICS Integrated Planning Course was conducted for the MDRRMC of Malungon at Greenleaf Hotel, General Santos City, with 34 participants from the local government unit. Instructors and facilitators included Sheila M. Hallig of OCD XII, FSupt Lowyn G. Amoyar, SFO1 Aldrim L. Flores and Meralyn F. Ledesma, LDRRMO IV of Malungon MDRRMO.

Another five-day ICS Integrated Planning Course was facilitated for the MDRRMC of Aleosan, attended by 25 participants from the municipal DRRM structure. Serving as instructors were Mercedita A. Foronda, Engr. Ernie Diaz, Arnel Sambria, PhD, and Jundell Rosales of OCD Region XII.

Additionally, a four-day Basic ICS Training was conducted for MDRRMC Kiamba with 30 participants. Training cadres included Engr. Diego U. Laguna, DRRM Division Chief of OCD Region XII; Sheila Corpuz of MDRRMO Kiamba; Pearl Joy Asiron of MDRRMO Alabel; and Antonio Acharon Jr. of MDRRMO Glan. #
