ALEGRIA, Cebu – The local government unit of Alegria, Cebu and the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD-7) under its Kapit-Bisig Laban sa Kahirapan-Comprehensive and Integrated Delivery of Social Services (KALAHI-CIDSS) program, unveiled on May 18 one of the biggest isolation facilities in Cebu province worth P18.9M including the town's counterpart contribution to put up this 13-room facility complete with amenities, medical equipment, PPEs, and disinfectants in response to the pandemic.
The project was fully supported by nine barangays that unanimously decided to have a sustainable and operational facility despite the meager amount of resources and the limited number of health workers.
DSWD Undersecretary Danilo Pamonag led the ribbon cutting and turnover of the facility to the local officials and the rural health unit of Alegria. He expressed his appreciation to KALAHI-CIDSS for putting up a project that signifies the people’s trust in the government and for working hand-in-hand in the pursuit of development.
Pamonag believed that the message of KALAHI-CIDSS is the kind of governance the country needs. “Sinisimbolo ng isang mahusay at nagkakaisang pamayanan ang kulturang gusto natin makamtan upang magkaroon ng totoo at makabuluhang pagbabago,” he added.
With the implementation of the Community-Driven
Development of KALAHI-CIDSS, Pamonag hopes to see more volunteers stay
committed to the program’s guiding principles of public servants that advocate
for good governance. (Photos: DSWD-7)
