The Department of Social Welfare and Development recently inaugurated a P3-million Kalahi-CIDSS projects in Anini-y, Antique.
DSWD-6 Director Rebecca Geamala led the inauguration of 1.2 x 76 linear meters hanging bridge and foot path at Barangay Igpalge.
Geamala recognized the cooperation among the community volunteers, local government unit and barangay local government unit that resulted in the completion of the sub-projects.
“It is the community that identified the need for the hanging bridge and foot path. This will not only address the needs of the current generation but also of the next generation.”
Anini-y Mayor Reynaldo Pollicar expressed his gratitude to Kalahi-CIDSS for providing the grants to the community.
In Barangay Igpalge alone, Kalahi-CIDSS had invested P4.1 million worth of projects to address its basic infrastructure needs.
Pollicar also acknowledged the Geamala’s presence in the inauguration. “Director Geamala is the first regional director to visit Igpalge.”
Igpalge is an upland barangay that is 15 kilometers away from the town proper.
Aside from the hanging bridge and foot path projects, Igpalge have also availed a health station project and rehabilitation of a school building which is now on-going. ‪//‎MaricarCalubiran‬
