A significant step toward inclusive education and rehabilitation was taken today as the Makilala Institute of Science and Technology (MIST), through its Community Extension Services (CES), formally proposed the establishment of the College of Business and Governance Behind Bars (CBGBB) at the Makilala District Jail.

The initiative, led by CES Head Ms. Connie D. Elbina and supported by MIST President Dr. Gerardo Rigonan, was presented to Municipal Mayor Armando M. Quibod alongside Makilala Municipal Jail Warden, JINSP Anwarudin C. Sambuto. The proposed program aims to provide Persons Deprived of Liberty (PDLs) with access to quality tertiary education, fostering hope, personal growth, and opportunities for reintegration into society.

If approved, Makilala will become the third locality in the Philippines to implement such an innovative educational program within a correctional facility. As an initial offering, MIST plans to roll out the Bachelor of Science in Entrepreneurship (BS Entrep) as its pilot course.

The proposal will be forwarded to the Sangguniang Bayan for deliberation, particularly to authorize the Municipal Mayor to enter into a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with MIST and the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP). Upon approval, the program is set to proceed as planned.

This initiative underscores the Municipality of Makilala’s commitment to transformative governance, education, and second chances for all.

Municipal Mayor Armando M. Quibod recently convened a meeting with department heads of the Local Government Unit (LGU) of Makilala to address the potential impacts of the ongoing fuel crisis linked to rising global tensions involving Israel, the United States, and Iran. The discussion centered on proactive measures to mitigate disruptions in essential government services as fuel supply uncertainties continue to affect operations.

During the meeting, the body outlined contingency plans to ensure uninterrupted delivery of critical services, particularly in frontline offices. Priority was given to departments handling health response, peace and order, public safety, incident management, and disaster response. Officials emphasized the importance of maintaining operational readiness despite possible fuel shortages, recognizing the vital role these offices play in safeguarding the community.

The timing of the preparations is especially crucial as the Holy Week approaches—a period marked by increased travel, public gatherings, and heightened demand for emergency and security services. Department heads were directed to implement fuel conservation strategies, optimize resource allocation, and coordinate closely with partner agencies to sustain efficient operations.

Mayor Quibod underscored the need for unity, vigilance, and preparedness among all departments. He assured the public that the local government is taking all necessary steps to ensure that essential services remain accessible and responsive, even amid external challenges affecting fuel supply.

The LGU of Makilala remains committed to protecting the welfare of its constituents by adapting swiftly to evolving situations and reinforcing its capacity to respond effectively during times of uncertainty. (MICO)
