A new barangay hall will soon rise in Barangay Lika, M’lang following the groundbreaking ceremony last July 18, 2012.

The hall will be used by officials and residents to converge and discuss about matters concerning their barangay. Activities like sessions, meetings, foundation anniversaries, outreach programs, relief operations, and other social services can be accommodated here as well.

The facility is worth Six Hundred Thousand Pesos (PhP600, 000.00) charged against the 20% Economic Development Fund (EDF) of the provincial government of Cotabato.

Lika Barangay Chairman Nelson V. Peroy in his message thanked the governor and the rest of the provincial officials for trusting the people of Lika and assured them that they will continue to support the programs of the provincial government especially in the delivery of “Serbisyong Totoo”.

Governor Emmylou “Lala” Taliño-Mendoza was delighted to see great number of students during the turn-over ceremony.  She then challenged the students to study hard for someday they will take the place of the leaders in government.

The governor further said that she hopes the barangay hall will also serve as a reminder of the government’s commitment to the total development of the barangay where education is a priority.

Governor Taliño-Mendoza also urged the beneficiaries of the Pantawid Pampamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) to be mindful of their responsibility towards the education of their children stressing the children’s basic right to education.

“Through 4Ps, there will be no more reasons why children cannot attend school,” the governor said.
4Ps is a national program designed to reduce poverty by providing grants for extremely poor households to improve health, nutrition and education.

Also present during the turn-over ceremony were 2Lt. Jonathan Barellano Lubrido, Jr. of Alpha Company, 68th Infantry Battalion, Philippine Army and representatives from the Department of Education.
Slippers, medicines and caps were distributed to more or less 600 people who attended the ceremony. sgjh
