The Provincial Government of South Cotabato conducted its Convergence Approach for Transformation and Change-Unification Program (CATCH-UP) Serbisyo Caravan in Barangay Lambangan, Tboli, demonstrating a committed effort to provide accessible and inclusive public services to remote communities.
Under the leadership of Governor Reynaldo S. Tamayo, Jr., the initiative aims to directly bring essential government services to developing communities, with a particular focus on reaching communities that typically have limited access to provincial resources.
The comprehensive caravan offered residents of Lambangan a wide range of critical services, including:
– Health services
– Livelihood assistance programs
– Disaster preparedness initiatives
– Social welfare support
A key component of the event was the participation of the Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (PDRRMO-South Cotabato), led by Rolly Doane C. Aquino. The office conducted community orientations, distributed informational materials, and operated a Mobile Kitchen to provide hot meals to participants.
Rolly Doane C. Aquino, CATCH-UP focal person highlighted the strategic importance of the CATCH-UP program, emphasizing its role in strengthening government-community engagement. “Our goal is to ensure that no sector and no South Cotabateño is left behind in our province’s development efforts,” he stated.
The Serbisyo Caravan serves as a critical bridge between government institutions and grassroots communities, embodying the provincial government’s commitment to transformative and positive change in South Cotabato. This initiative represents a significant step towards more inclusive governance, bringing essential services directly to the doorsteps of remote barangays and demonstrating the provincial government’s dedication to comprehensive community development.
