ANTIPAS, COTABATO PROVINCE โ€” In a joint effort to assess and highlight the transformative impact of community infrastructure, a Project Documentation activity was recently conducted at Purok 3, Barangay Luhong, Antipas, Cotabato Province. Organized in partnership with the Philippine Information Agency (PIA) Region XII, the documentation focused on the newly completed 440-meter Farm-to-Market Road (FMR) project. Funded under the Support to the Barangay Development Program - Unappropriated (SBDP-UA) 2024 with a budget allocation of Php 5,000,000, the vital infrastructure project is set to directly benefit around 1,000 residents and local agricultural workers.

For years, local farmers in Barangay Luhong faced significant challenges in transporting their agricultural produce to neighboring markets due to unpaved and difficult road conditions. The newly completed 440-meter concrete road addresses these long-standing transport bottlenecks, ensuring safe, faster, and more cost-effective transit for crops and essential goods. By reducing transit times and lowering hauling costs, the project aims to boost farm gate prices, increase local economic activity, and significantly enhance the daily livelihoods of families in the community.

The project documentation activity evaluated how the new road enhanced community well-being. Barangay officials and local beneficiaries shared first-hand accounts alongside representatives from the DILG-PDMU Cotabato Field Office, LGU Antipas Engineering, MLGOO Ms. Helen Grace A. De Justo-Sayon, and PIA XIIโ€™s Mr. Christian Matullano. Through interviews and site visits, the joint team captured inspiring stories of progress and uplifted agricultural livelihoods.

Through site visits, visual assessments, and personal interviews, theyโ€™ve captured inspiring stories of resilience and progress from community members whose daily routines and livelihoods have been uplifted by the new road. A Shared Vision for Sustainable Development. The successful completion and documentation of the Purok 3 Farm-to-Market Road demonstrate the power of collaborative governance under the SBDP framework. By bridging rural communities with market hubs, local government units and national agency partners continue to ensure that peace, development, and economic opportunity reach every corner of Cotabato Province.

During September 14 to 18, 2026, Team Agila actively engaged in activities that strengthened coordination, enhanced capacity, supported community services, promoted efficient government processes, and ensured continuity in local government operations. These efforts reflect the teamโ€™s commitment to collaboration, responsive governance, and quality public service.

KIDAPAWAN CITY, Cotabato โ€” Bringing essential government programs, social services, and livelihood assistance directly to the grassroots, the Handog ng Pangulo program was successfully conducted September 14, 2026, at the Cotabato Provincial Gymnasium. The activity was part of a nationwide, simultaneous celebration designed as a convenient one-stop shop to ensure that public services reach local communities efficiently and directly. The event gathered key leaders and stakeholders from across the province, including Local Government Unit (LGU) officials. Joining them were barangay officials and presidential scholars, who gathered to receive vital support and grants.

Secretary Mel Senen Sarmiento represented President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr., delivering the Presidentโ€™s message to the people of Cotabato and reaffirming the administrationโ€™s commitment to uplifting local communities through inclusive, accessible governance. A major highlight of the gathering was the awarding of the Bawat Barangay Makikinabang Program (BBMP) under the Office of the President, funded through the Socio-Civic Projects Fund (SCPF). Qualified scholars and local officials expressed gratitude for the educational support aimed to address college student attrition and support vulnerable graduating students in completing their education across the province. The program also includes a support to the barangays in the implementation of priority barangay projects.

In addition to scholarship assistance, several national government agencies participated in the event to extend their respective services and assistance programs. DSWD XII, distributed financial aid and social protection benefits to qualified beneficiaries. TESDA XII, highlighted skill development initiatives and handed over financial support and training packages. While, DMW XII, awarded financial assistance and extended services tailored for Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) and their families. And, other Partner Agencies, offered direct consultations, program sign-ups, and financial cheque handovers. The "Handog ng Pangulo" initiative reflects the national government's ongoing drive to eliminate bureaucratic hurdles by delivering interventions, ranging from educational support and social welfare assistance to livelihood support and other government services straight to local venues. Through joint efforts between national agencies, provincial leaders, local and barangay officials, the event reinforced a unified commitment to community development and public service throughout the province of Cotabato.

To cushion local households against the persistent squeeze of rising market prices, the Local Government Unit (LGU) of Kabacan recently conducted a partial rice distribution, successfully reaching 14,445 beneficiary families across 12 barangays.

The initiative comes as part of a localized response to inflation, directly addressing the growing pressure on household food budgets. For many residents, the essential staple provides crucial relief during a period marked by fluctuating costs for basic commodities.

The distribution program is funded through the Local Government Support Fund - Financial Assistance to Local Government Units (LGSF-FALGU) under the National Governmentโ€™s Food Assistance Program. While spearheaded by LGU Kabacan to ensure localized logistics and immediate reach, the overall project monitoring and compliance are overseen by the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) Cotabato Field Office to maintain transparency and structured delivery.

Sustaining Food Security in Kabacan, LGU officials underscored that ensuring access to staple food remains a top priority, especially for low-income households most vulnerable to economic shifts.

By bringing distribution directly to the 12 covered barangays, the local government aims to minimize travel costs for residents and ensure a seamless rollout. This partial distribution marks an ongoing effort by the local administration and national government agencies to combine fiscal support with direct community-level interventions, bringing immediate and tangible assistance where it is needed most.

PROVINCE OF COTABATOโ€” To foster greater transparency, accountability, and citizen-led oversight, the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) partnered with Mahintana Foundation, Inc. to conduct a three-day Third-Party Monitoring (TPM) activity across select municipalities in the province of Cotabato from September 2 to 4, 2026.

A Fresh Perspective on Local Infrastructure While project implementation is traditionally overseen by the Local Government Units (LGUs) and regulatory monitoring is handled by the DILG, the TPM mechanism introduces an independent third perspective. By bringing in civil society, the initiative ensures that completed local development projects are evaluated through an objective lens focusing not just on physical completion, but on direct community impact.

Mahintana Foundation mobilized local Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) representing diverse sectors from across the communities. These grassroots representatives conducted field visits, verified facility functionality, and interviewed local residents to capture authentic community feedback. The field evaluations spanned three strategic municipalities in Cotabato, first at the municipality of Tulunan on September 2, 2026, The TPM team kicked off the monitoring drive in Tulunan, conducting site inspections of completed local infrastructure projects and meeting with grassroots beneficiaries to evaluate social and economic benefits. On September 3, 2026 Assessments continued in the municipality of Antipas, focus-grouping with community members and assessing whether project deliverables matched initial plans and community requirements. And at Midsayap a Project Verification was conducted last September 4, 2026, wrapping up data collection, physical verifications, and stakeholder interviews to measure community satisfaction and long-term sustainability.

Third-Party Monitoring places citizen voices at the center of governance. Key areas assessed included, utility & access, whether the infrastructure is actively utilized by the targeted community members. And how significantly the projects improved day-to-day living conditions, public health, accessibility, or economic opportunity and preparedness of the barangay or municipality to maintain the infrastructure over time.

By tapping independent civil society groups, we bridge the gap between policy and reality on the ground. It ensures government projects do not just exist on paper, but genuinely elevate the lives of community members.

From August 31 to September 4, 2026, Team Agila sustained its active participation in various undertakings that promoted effective coordination, institutional strengthening, and organizational development.
