CLJIP- Day 01

Keeping Children Safe Starts with the Community.

The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) Field Office Caraga, as the chair of the Regional Juvenile Justice and Welfare Committee (RJJWC) Caraga, together with the Local Government Unit of General Luna, Surigao del Norte, through its Municipal Social Welfare and Development Office, are working together to strengthen community-based interventions for children and youth.

From September 2–4, 2026, representatives from 19 barangays of General Luna, including barangay officials and secretaries, MSWDO personnel, and partners, are gathering at the St. Thomas Pastoral Center for the crafting of the Comprehensive Local Juvenile Intervention Program (CLJIP).

The activity aims to help the municipality and its barangays better understand the situation of children and youth in their communities and identify appropriate interventions to be implemented over the next three to five years.

The sessions began with a discussion on the Comprehensive National Juvenile Intervention Program (CNJIP) Framework and workshop objectives led by Mr. Dante S. Rosales, Team Leader of the RJJWC Secretariat, followed by a situational analysis and data-gathering workshop facilitated by Ms. Vera Jean C. Angob, where participants worked on their respective barangay profiles.

Through this collaborative planning process, communities are given a stronger role in identifying risks, understanding the needs of children and youth, and developing preventive and responsive interventions that can help promote their well-being and prevent them from entering situations that may place them at risk.

A safer future for children begins with communities that understand their needs, act early, and work together to protect them.

The Municipality of General Luna proudly joined the nation in celebrating the 48th National Disability Rights Week today, July 23, 2026, at the Barangay Poblacion 5 Basketball Court, with the theme:

“Rights First, Legislation Forward – Strategic Action for Equal Participation and Inclusive Development.”

The celebration served as a meaningful reminder of our shared responsibility to uphold the rights, dignity, and welfare of every Person with Disability (PWD) while promoting a community that values equality, accessibility, and inclusion.

As part of the activity, the municipality successfully conducted the 2nd Quarter Municipal Financial Incentives Payout and the distribution of 10 kilograms of rice under the Serbisyong Tama Program, benefiting a total of 326 PWD beneficiaries. These initiatives demonstrate the local government’s continued commitment to supporting and empowering the PWD sector through programs that improve their quality of life.

The event was graced by the presence of Municipal Mayor Johnson Y. Sajulga,whose steadfast leadership and support continue to strengthen programs that promote the welfare and inclusion of Persons with Disabilities.

The celebration was further enriched by the inspiring message of our esteemed guest speaker from KAGINHAWA, Ms. Amina Aisa Boncales, who shared an informative and empowering discussion on Mental Health for Persons with Disabilities, emphasizing the importance of emotional well-being, self-care, resilience, and the support of family and community in achieving holistic wellness.

The successful conduct of the event was made possible through the dedicated efforts of the Municipal Social Welfare and Development Office (MSWDO), headed by MSWD Officer Dave Francis P. Plaza, together with its hardworking staff, partners, and volunteers.

Today, we celebrate the strength, courage, resilience, and remarkable contributions of every Person with Disability. Their stories remind us that disability is never a barrier to making a difference, achieving dreams, or inspiring others.

A Joint Curfew Ronda was conducted by the General Luna Municipal Police Station together with the Municipal Social Welfare and Development Office on April 26, 2026, from 9:00 PM to 10:30 PM.

During the operation, several establishments were visited and interviewed to remind them of their responsibility to protect children and ensure their overall well-being. Emphasis was placed on the importance of proper monitoring and the ability to identify minors, especially in places that are not appropriate or suitable for their age.

It was also noted that some establishments were flagged for failing to properly identify the presence of minors. This concern will be formally referred to the Business Permits and Licensing Office (BPLO) for appropriate action and intervention.

The joint ronda will continue as part of ongoing efforts to uphold the law and strengthen the protection of children's rights within the municipality of General Luna.
