September 15, 2026โ€” Provincial government employees will have a dedicated two-hour wellness break every Wednesday under a new program aimed at helping them manage work-related stress, improve well-being, and reset, recharge, refocus and grow.

The Office of the Provincial Human Resource Management Officer (OPHRMO) launched GANDAngHR: RESET WEDNESDAY, bringing together Human Resource Management Practitioners and Administrative Officers from various provincial government offices.

The initiative provides employees time away from their regular duties to participate in physical exercises, reflection, sharing sessions, and mental and emotional wellness activities.

The program concept was developed by Provincial Human Resource Management Officer Grace Kidang Flores, with ๐†ANDAngHR highlighting the value of employees taking time to ๐†row alongside the programโ€™s focus on wellness and personal development.

Provincial Governor James S. Edduba, in a message delivered by Atty. Priel Balnao, said employee welfare is essential to effective public service.

โ€œGovernment service is only as strong as the people who deliver it,โ€ Edduba said, noting that employees who are physically and mentally well are better able to handle pressure, work with colleagues, and provide responsive service.

He encouraged provincial government personnel to participate and make wellness a regular practice.

โ€œTaking care of ourselves is not taking time away from public service. It is preparing ourselves to serve better,โ€ he said.

The initiative forms part of the provincial governmentโ€™s LUMIN-AWA Kalinga development agenda, particularly its efforts to promote preventive healthcare, mental wellness, physical fitness, and a healthier workplace.

RESET WEDNESDAY carries the message: Reset. Recharge. Refocus. Grow.

TABUK CITY, Kalinga โ€” The national government brought a wide range of services and assistance closer to YKalingas today through the Handog ng Pangulo 2026, held at the Kalinga Sports Center in Capitol Hills, Tabuk City.

The activity provided beneficiaries access to various government programs, including financial assistance, livelihood support, agricultural inputs, legal aid, and other frontline public services.

In his welcome message, Vice Governor Dave Q. Odiem emphasized that the assistance distributed during the event was made possible through the collective resources and efforts of the government.

Representing President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr., Department of Education Undersecretary and Chief of Staff Atty. Fatima Lipp D. Panontongan delivered the Presidentโ€™s message.

Atty. Panontongan said the activity reflects the Filipino spirit of helping one another, especially during difficult times.

โ€œMahirap man ang hamon ng ating kinakaharap, tayo pong mga Pilipino ay laging handa pag sama-sama at umahon. Kapag may pagsubok, bumabangon. Kapag may problema, nagtutulungan,โ€ she said.

She added that the government is bringing its services closer to communities as part of the celebration of President Marcosโ€™ birthday.

โ€œKaya sa pagdiriwang ng kaarawan ni Pangulong Bongbong Marcos, inilalapit natin ang mga serbisyo ng pamahalaan sa ating mga kababayan sa ibaโ€™t ibang probinsya,โ€ Panontongan said.

She also called on Filipinos to continue working together toward a better future, saying, โ€œPatuloy po tayong magtulungan upang makabuo ng mas magandang kinabukasan para sa bawat Pilipino.โ€

The Handog ng Pangulo: Serbisyong Sapat served as a one-stop venue where YKalingas accessed multiple government programs and services, reinforcing the goal of making public assistance more accessible to the people.
