The City Government of Kabankalan, under the leadership of Mayor Benjie M. Miranda, Vice Mayor Divina S. Miranda, and the Members of the Sangguniang Panlungsod, through the City Social Welfare and Development Office (CSWDO) led by Mrs. Cyril D. Ramos, CSWD Officer, successfully conducted an information and education program in partnership with the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG), the Philippine National Police (PNP), and the officials of Barangay 6 led by Punong Barangay Steve Javellana.
Through the iCARE Program of the Philippine Coast Guard, participants were provided with valuable information regarding the legal requirements, regulations, and procedures related to permits and operations for quarry workers. This initiative aims to promote compliance with existing laws while ensuring the safety, welfare, and livelihood of workers in the quarry industry.
The program also featured a Preventive Drug Education lecture delivered by PCMS Mary June P. Fuentes of the Philippine National Police, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a drug-free workplace and community. In addition, Mrs. Cherilyn B. Alanza of the CSWDO conducted a session on Responsible Parenthood, highlighting the significance of family well-being, proper decision-making, and shared responsibilities in building stronger families and communities.
A total of 50 quarry workers from Barangay 6 participated in the activity and gained valuable knowledge from the various topics discussed. The participants actively engaged in the sessions and expressed appreciation for the information shared by the resource speakers.
This collaborative effort reflects the commitment of government agencies and community leaders to empower workers through education, promote responsible citizenship, encourage compliance with laws and regulations, strengthen family values, and contribute to a safer, healthier, and more productive community.
Together, through awareness, education, and cooperation, we can build a more informed, responsible, and empowered workforce for the continued progress of Kabankalan City.
