PARTNERSHIP THAT EMPOWERS COMMUNITIES đ€â
A significant milestone was marked through the Signing of the Memorandum of Understanding and the official launching of the STAR para sa Barangay Advocacy Program, under the leadership of JSSUPT JHON D MONTERO, MM, Regional Director. This meaningful undertaking stemmed from the drive of JSUPT JORGE ALLAN DâMAY Y SORIANO, Provincial Administrator of Antique, to provide a Capacity Enhancement Program for Barangay Tanods of Semirara in recognition of their vital role as frontliners in maintaining peace, order, and community safety.
Through the expertise and leadership of JSINSP IRISH ADRIANNE G GUMARU, CESE, STAR Team Leader, Subject Matter Expert, and STAR para sa Barangay Proponent, together with the STAR Team Facilitators, this advocacy aims to empower communities through capacity enhancement programs designed to equip Barangay Tanods with essential knowledge and practical skills, including armed and unarmed response strategies, Basic Life Support (BLS), and other relevant competencies that strengthen their readiness to serve and protect their communities.
Our appreciation to the BLGU-Semirara led by Kap. Kikai for graciously hosting and supporting this advocacy and for the warm partnership in making this undertaking possible.
Together, we continue building safer, stronger, and more empowered barangays.
