TABOGON, Cebu -- Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD-7) KALAHI-CIDSS sub-project has completed the construction of concrete access roads in barangays Canaocanao and Caduawan in Tabogon town worth P7.7M and were turned over to the local officials on January 7, 2022 as part of the road network development project in the municipality.
DSWD-7 regional director Rebecca Geamala said during the turnover ceremony that Tabogon, Cebu is one of the many areas in Region 7 that implements the sub-projects of the Kapit-Bisig Laban sa Kahirapan-Comprehensive and Integrated Delivery of Social Services (KALAHI-CIDSS).
"The combined investments of DSWD through KALAHI-CIDSS and the local government of Tabogon potentially benefit the town and gain long-term opportunities for people, especially post COVID and other disasters that hit the area like the recent Typhoon Odette," Geamala said.
Tabogon municipal Mayor, Zigfred Duterte lauded this partnership which provides people farm-to-market roads and easy access to social services’ facilities.
Brgy. Caduawan Community Volunteer Marvey Samutya, says “Sigurado ko nga daghan ang nalipay sa mga bag-ong dalan nga gihatag sa KALAHI-CIDSS. Kaniadto, maka-anak na lang sa dalan ang mabdos tungod sa kaguba sa among dalan. Apan karon, mohanoy na gyud og dagan ang mga sakyanan tungod sa pagtagad nga gihatag sa among komunidad." (I am sure that many are happy with the roads provided by KALAHI-CIDSS. In the past, pregnant women could give birth on the road because of how bad our roads were. But now, cars are able to smoothly travel because of this development given to our community.)
According to mayor Duterte, Tabogon is also exploring eco-tourism like the newly-discovered spot in Brgy. Caduawan that resembĺes the highlands of Batanes.
With the newly-access road in Barangay Caduawan, this would soon become an open tourism destination that could bring about economic opportunities to Tabogon and the nearby communities in Cebu.
