IMPROVED HEALTHCARE FACILITIES FOR BARANGAY MAGNAO, TABUK CITY, KALINGA

Residents of Barangay Magnao, Tabuk City, Kalinga have one less worry about their health facilities. This, as a barangay health center featuring a lying-in facility and an outpatient clinic was constructed recently. With a budget of Php 2.2 million, a 320-square-meter lot was acquired and turned over to barangay Magnao officials through the support of the Kapit-Bisig Laban sa Kahirapan (KALAHI) Payapa at Masaganang Pamayanan (PAMANA) program under the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) Cycle II.

As part of the program, Barangay Magnao was selected as one of the 22 beneficiaries of the three-cycle project initiative by the DSWD Cordillera Office. In the first cycle, a waterworks system was successfully implemented with a budget allocation of Php 1.2 million. The second cycle saw the completion of the barangay health center, and the community is now preparing to identify their third project.

Barangay Chairperson Eduardo Tubban expressed deep gratitude for the assistance provided to their community, which has helped alleviate the residents’ burdens through improved healthcare services and facilities.
