Bilang paghahanda sa implementasyon ng Retooled Community Support Program (RCSP) para sa taong kasalukuyan, nagsagawa ang DILG Gitnang Luzon at DILG Nueva Ecija ng oryentasyon para sa 148 target barangays mula sa mga lungsod ng Gapan at San Jose at mga bayan ng Bongabon, Carranglan, Gabaldon, General Mamerto Natividad, General Tinio, Laur, Licab, Llanera, Lupao, Nampicuan, Pantabangan, Peñaranda, Quezon, Rizal, Santo Domingo, Talavera, at Talugtug.

Dinaluhan ang oryentasyon ng mga DILG Field Officers, mga hepe ng lokal na kapulisan, at mga City/Municipal Planning and Development Coordinators mula sa 19 na LGUs na nakakasakop sa 148 target barangays. Kabilang din sa mga kalahok ang mga Punong Barangay, mga Sangguniang Barangay Member on Peace and Order, at mga Kalihim ng Barangay.

Pinangunahan ang mga talakayan ni LGOO VII Lerrie S. Hernandez, EnP., Chief ng Monitoring and Evaluation Division ng DILG Gitnang Luzon, katuwang sina LGOO VI Fatima S. Lalu, LGOO V Philip Nathan B. Moral, LGOO IV Lhoyd Parungao, LGOO II Angelique Fe G. Valenzuela, PDO I Fiona Mae P. Sales. Mula naman sa Philippine Army, ang nanguna sa talakayan ay si LtCol Kenny Rae C Tizon, Commanding Officer ng 48th Infantry Battalion, katuwang si 1LT Martie C Villanueva.

Pinangunahan ang pag-organisa ng aktibidad ng RCSP Team ng DILG Nueva Ecija sa pamumuno ni Atty. Ofelio A. Tactac, Jr., CESO V, Provincial Director, kasama sina LGOO VII Danilo C. Rillera, Cluster I Team Leader; LGOO VII Louie C. Manarpiis, Ph.D., Cluster II Team Leader; LGOO VI Donnabel E. Estipular, Program Manager; LGOO VI Kristian Rob D.

Layunin ng oryentasyon na palakasin ang kaalaman at kahandaan ng mga RCSP implementers hinggil sa mga polisiya, proseso, at mga hakbang sa pagpapatupad ng programa para sa taong kasalukuyan. Binigyang-diin din dito ang kahalagahan ng koordinasyon, convergence, at sama-samang pagkilos ng mga LGUs, DILG, at iba pang katuwang na ahensya upang maisulong ang layunin ng RCSP na makapaghatid ng mas inklusibo, mapayapa, at sustenableng pag-unlad sa mga komunidad.

Sa pamamagitan ng patuloy na koordinasyon at sama-samang pagkilos ng mga katuwang na ahensya at lokal na pamahalaan, patuloy na isinusulong ng Nueva Ecija ang kapayapaan at kaunlaran bilang pundasyon ng matatag, ligtas, at maunlad na mga barangay.

May 14, 2026 – DILG Nueva Ecija Provincial Office personnel, together with On-the-Job trainees from Central Luzon State University, successfully conducted a Physical Wellness Activity dubbed “Shake, Rattle, and Roll” at the Provincial Office in Cabanatuan City.

Hosted by Group 1, the activity featured energizing physical exercises and interactive games that encouraged teamwork, coordination, camaraderie, and active participation among personnel and trainees from Groups 2, 3, and 4.

The activity highlighted three exciting games:

🟢 Shake – Participants twisted, wiggled, and danced as they attempted to shake all the balls out of a tissue box strapped to their waist, promoting balance, agility, and coordination.

🟡 Rattle – In this fast-paced balloon-popping challenge, participants chased and dodged opponents while protecting their own balloons, sharpening speed, reflexes, and strategic movement.

🔵 Roll – Participants tested their strength, endurance, and teamwork by rolling and relaying a ball to teammates while lying on the ground, emphasizing cooperation and physical coordination.

The games required participants to exert physical energy, demonstrate teamwork, and collaborate efficiently to successfully complete each challenge.

Through the Wellness Thursday Program, DILG Nueva Ecija continues to promote collaboration, creativity, teamwork, and overall wellness in the workplace through engaging and meaningful activities.
