KORONADAL CITY, South Cotabato — The Provincial Government of South Cotabato, under the leadership of Governor Reynaldo S. Tamayo Jr., conducted the second-quarter payout for members of the Reinforced Services Task Force (RST) on September 17, 2026, at the Provincial Government of South Cotabato Covered Court here.
Based on the data from the Barangay Affairs Unit (BAU), 169 RST members from Barangay GPS and 84 members from Barangay San Isidro were scheduled to receive the assistance.
Mark Anthony Jebulan, RST Federation President, expressed gratitude to the provincial government for the assistance, saying the payout provides additional support to members and their families.
“Dako gid ang amon pasalamat kay padayon kami nga ginasuportahan sang Provincial Government. Indi man gid lalim ang amon mga responsibilidad, gani dako gid nga bulig sa amon ang sini nga payout, labi na sa amon mga pang-adlaw-adlaw nga kinahanglanon,” Jebulan said.
The payout is part of the provincial government’s continuing support to RST members who assist in various community activities and government programs in their respective barangays.
Jebulan also emphasized that RST members remain committed to helping their communities and supporting government initiatives at the barangay level.
“Kami man sa RST, padayon gid kami nga magbulig kag magserbisyo sa aton barangay. Bisan gamay lang ang amon nahimo, nalipay kami nga may ara kami sang amon kontribusyon sa komunidad kag ginakilala ini sang provincial government,” he added.
The provincial government continues to coordinate with barangay officials and RST leaders to ensure the orderly distribution of assistance to qualified beneficiaries.
Meanwhile, Barangay Affairs Chief Dennis C. Dignadice said the payout demonstrates the provincial government’s recognition of the efforts of RST members in supporting community-based services.
