UGNAYAN SA BARANGAY: “A DIALOGUE FOR A BETTER FUTURE FOR DALAGSAAN”
Barangay Dalagsaan, led by Punong Barangay Esmeraldo C. Onao, Jr., hosted the “UGNAYAN SA BARANGAY” on June 17, 2025, at Dalagsan Barangay Plaza in Libacao, Aklan. This activity is part of the Retooled Community Support Program, which was participated by Barangay Officials, Members of the Barangay Development Council, Sectoral Representatives, and Purok Presidents from various sitios in Barangay Dalagsaan namely: Taraw, Taban, Pula, Gutusan, Proper, Daang Banwa and Maylunok.
This initiative aims to unite diverse voices through multi-sectoral dialogues, promoting a collaborative approach to addressing critical governance gaps and pressing community issues. By creating forums for constructive dialogue, participants collectively identify primary and secondary concerns, seeking viable solutions and interventions. This process ensures that the identified issues are validated and accurately represent the community's needs. Through careful consolidation of these concerns, the initiative prepares them for endorsement to relevant offices or agencies, ensuring actionable steps are taken to address the barangay's developmental challenges. This inclusive approach not only promotes transparency and accountability but also strengthens community engagement and empowerment in driving meaningful change.
The result of the dialogue was initially presented to the Barangay Council for validation such as problems on Abaca production, construction of farm-to-market Roads, hanging footbridge, Electrification, Irrigation System, operational Barangay Health Center, medicines, hiring of permanent midwife stationed at the Barangay, alternative source of livelihood income (i.e. training on root crops production and processing), among others. These validated issues will be presented to the Municipal and Provincial Government as well as relevant National Government Agencies as part of the convergence mechanisms to develop appropriate interventions and solutions.
The activity was facilitated by the the Retooled Community Support Program (RCSP) Team of the Municipality of Libacao duly supported by various National Government Agencies, Local Government Unit of Libacao and Dalagsaan Barangay Council.
