A simple turnover, but for many farmer-beneficiaries, it meant another chance to strengthen their livelihood and keep their farms moving forward. Through the Adaptation Mitigation Initiative in Agriculture (AMIA), carabaos were officially dispersed to qualified recipients from Barangays Malu-ao and Bulucaon.

Present during the activity were Municipal Mayor Hon. Juanito C. Agustin, duly represented by First Lady Ms. Nancy M. Agustin, together with the Office of the Municipal Agriculturist headed by Ms. Marites E. Londres, RAgr., and Ms. Donelyn R. Borneo, representative from the DA Regional Field Office 12.

The initiative continues to support farming communities by providing assistance that can help ease farm work, improve productivity, and give local farmers additional means to sustain their daily living.

Residents of Barangay Malu-ao benefitted from the continuing rollout of the Aksyon sa Purok Kalusugan Caravan, a community-centered initiative that brings basic healthcare services directly to the barangays.

The activity provided residents with health consultations, assessments, and other essential medical services geared toward encouraging regular health monitoring and early prevention of illnesses. Through programs like this, the municipality continues to make healthcare services more reachable for every community.

With the full support of Municipal Mayor Hon. Juanito C. Agustin, the initiative emphasizes the local government’s commitment to strengthening public health programs at the grassroots level. Joining the activity were Municipal Councilors Hon. Cirilo P. Gomobar and Hon. Noel G. Egaran together with the Municipal Health Office led by Dr. Myles F. Rosario.

The Barangay Council of Barangay Malu-ao headed by Barangay Captain Hon. Rene B. Cadiao and his Kagawads also extended their support during the conduct of the caravan, helping ensure the successful delivery of services to residents.

Through continued collaboration between the local government and the community, the Aksyon sa Purok Kalusugan Caravan remains committed to its vision of “Kalusugan sa Bawat Purok, Kaunlaran sa Buong Bayan.”

Plans on paper slowly turned into conversations grounded on what communities truly need as representatives from MIADP met with LPMIU Members and IPS Leaders for a consultation meeting on the viability of proposed sub-projects. With the full support of Municipal Mayor Juanito C.

The discussion was presented by MIADP and attended by its representatives together with Dr. Silvino Q. Tejada, CESO III, LPMIU Head, alongside LPMIU Members and IPS Leaders, all working toward programs that are not only proposed, but practical, responsive, and beneficial to the communities they aim to serve.

Not every tourism destination starts with a ribbon-cutting. Sometimes, it starts with muddy roads, long walks, quiet conversations, and people stopping for a moment just to admire what has always been there.

At Rapurapu Falls in Brgy. Anick and the overlooking view of Lantawan in Sitio Payong-Payong, there was no need for long introductions—the place already spoke for itself.

The Committee on Tourism of the 23rd Sangguniang Bayan of Pigcawayan, led by Chairperson Hon. Shadria A. Tejada, MMPA, together with Vice-Chairperson Hon. Noel G. Egaran and Member Hon. Cirilo P. Gomobar, joined the Barangay Committee Chairpersons on Tourism, Culture, and Arts headed by President Hon. Aries Ceasar P. Ballano, alongside the tourism staff, in assessing the potential of these areas for future tourism development.

Because sometimes, progress begins by simply going there, seeing the place firsthand, and believing that it deserves to be known.
