October 31, 2026- In an interview with Radyo Pilipinas Tabuk, Kalinga Police Provincial Office Information Officer P/Maj. Ruff Manganip reported that a total of 433 police personnel have been deployed across the province from October 31 to November 2 to ensure public safety and maintain peace and order during Undas 2026.

The personnel are assigned to public cemeteries, tourist destinations, recreational areas, churches, border checkpoints, bus terminals, picnic sites, and other areas where increased public activity is expected. They will also provide road assistance to motorists and travelers.

According to Kalinga Police Provincial Office Information Officer P/Maj. Ruff Manganip, the deployment aims to prevent crimes and ensure zero crime incidents during the three-day observance.

The PNP is working with other government agencies, including the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP), Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH), Department of Health (DOH), barangay tanods, and Public Order and Safety Office (POSO), to strengthen security and assist the public.

Acting Provincial Fire Marshal Chief Insp. Ronald Rivera said BFP personnel have also been deployed in public cemeteries across Tabuk City and the different municipalities to serve as emergency response teams.

He reminded the public to observe fire safety precautions, which remain one of the BFP's priorities during Undas, particularly with the expected increase in candle lighting and other activities in cemeteries.

Meanwhile, Assistant Chief Engr. Dominic Walay of the DPWH Lower Kalinga District Engineering Office reported that three Lakbay Alalay stations have been established to assist motorists and travelers.

These are located at the Gonogon section along the Bontoc-Calanan-Abbot Road, Talaca section along the Nambaran-Tabuk-Isabela Road, and Spring section along Manuel S. Agyao Boulevard.

The DPWH Upper Kalinga District Engineering Office, through Administrative Officer V Cecilia Lucio, also deployed roving maintenance crews and personnel in landslide-prone areas.

The teams are on standby to immediately clear possible landslides and other road obstructions to keep traffic moving and ensure safer travel.

Authorities are reminding residents and visitors to remain alert, follow safety reminders, and cooperate with personnel on the ground throughout the Undas period.

TABUK CITY, Kalinga — Government agencies and local stakeholders conducted a joint inspection of potential disposal sites for materials to be removed during the proposed Chico River desilting and dredging project in Barangay Bado Dangwa, Tabuk City last October 16.

The activity aimed to identify suitable areas where dredged materials, or spoils, can be properly disposed of to support the smooth implementation of the project while ensuring the safety of nearby communities and protecting the environment.

Led by OPGENRO Engr. Dominic Jude Sugguiyao, chairperson of the Provincial Development Council (PDC) Environment Sector, the team visited several potential sites in coordination with barangay councils and other concerned stakeholders.

Participating agencies included DENR-PENRO, CENRO Tabuk, the National Irrigation Administration (NIA), DPWH-Lower Kalinga District Engineering Office, DPWH-CAR Equipment Management Division, and the Office of the Provincial Engineer. The Office of the Provincial Planning and Development Coordinator served as the activity’s secretariat.

Over time, sand, gravel, soil, and other sediments accumulate along riverbeds, making portions of rivers shallower and reducing their capacity to carry water. During heavy rains and periods of increased water flow, this may contribute to river overflow and flooding in nearby communities.

Desilting and dredging aim to remove accumulated sediments and restore the river’s intended depth and flow capacity in identified areas. When properly planned and implemented, these measures can help improve water flow, manage flood risks in vulnerable areas, and protect nearby homes, farms, and infrastructure.

The proposed desilting activity will cover the upstream portion of the Upper Chico River Irrigation System (UCRIS) dam. Among the identified potential spoil disposal and staging areas are:

1. Bantay National High School
2. Bangyan Construction Compound in Bantay, which may also serve as a staging and relay area
3. FF Cruz Mega D**e area
4. Balawag National High School

The inspection is an important preparatory step to ensure that materials removed from the river will be placed in suitable locations without creating additional risks to residents, agricultural areas, waterways, and the surrounding environment.

Some of the identified locations will still undergo further verification of land ownership and legal status, as well as assessments of technical and environmental requirements before they can be considered for use.

An exit conference was also held after the site visits to discuss the initial findings and identify necessary follow-up actions and coordination among concerned agencies.

Through collaboration among government agencies, barangay officials, and affected communities, the provincial government aims to ensure that the proposed project is implemented responsibly, with public safety and environmental protection as key considerations.

Growing up in a village in Lubuagan, Kalinga, in the early 2000’s, children knew the arrival of Undas and other holidays not by the calendar, but by the sudden halt of daily activities.

This was called ngilin—a sacred pause rooted in respect, caution, and collective responsibility. A time when even the most ordinary activities were forbidden out of respect for the dead and the spirits believed to roam among the living.

TABUK CITY, Kalinga — The Provincial Government of Kalinga has received recognition for its successfully ratified Provincial Development and Physical Framework Plan (PDPFP), a major step toward more organized, inclusive, and sustainable development in the province.

Governor James S. Edduba led the provincial delegation in receiving the Plaque of Recognition during a ceremony at the Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development-Cordillera Administrative Region (DHSUD-CAR) Regional Office last October 29, 2026.

The recognition came after the province’s development plan passed the required technical reviews and ratification process, from the Regional Land Use Committee (RLUC) to the DHSUD Central Office, confirming its compliance with established planning standards.

𝐁𝐮𝐭 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐧 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐊𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐚?

The ratified PDPFP serves as a long-term guide for the province’s development. It helps determine where infrastructure, housing, livelihood, agricultural, tourism, and other development projects should be prioritized while ensuring the proper use and protection of land and natural resources.

With an approved framework, the provincial government and local government units can better coordinate their development programs, identify priority areas, and ensure that projects respond to the actual needs of communities.

Provincial Planning and Development Coordinator EnP. Flordeliza G. Moldero and Assistant PPDC EnP. Clodelia T. Dannang joined the governor in receiving the award. They led the provincial technical team responsible for formulating and updating the plan. Tabuk City Planning and Development Coordinator EnP. Maricel Killey was also present.

The provincial government also recognized the contributions of city and municipal planning teams, sectoral committees, civil society organizations, and other stakeholders who participated in preparing the plan.

It likewise thanked DHSUD and the Department of Economy, Planning, and Development-CAR (DEPDev-CAR) for their technical guidance and support throughout the process.

The recognition reflects Kalinga’s continuing efforts under Governor Edduba’s LUMIN-AWA Development Agenda to strengthen development planning and ensure that government programs and investments contribute to better opportunities and improved services for its people.

Kalinga, this is for you!

TABUK CITY, Kalinga — The Provincial Government of Kalinga is taking steps to improve the Kalinga Pasalubong Center (KPC) in Talaca, Malalao, Tabuk City, following concerns raised by tenants and other issues affecting its operations.

The Economic Sectoral Committee under the Provincial Development Council met at Golden Berries Hotel in San Juan, Tabuk City, yesterday, October 30 to discuss the concerns and agree on measures to improve the facility and its management.

Among the decisions reached was the construction of a perimeter fence to secure the property’s boundaries and address concerns involving illegal settlers in the area.

The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) and the Office of the Provincial Assessor confirmed during the meeting that the land is classified as forest land and has no registered tax declaration issued to any individual.

The committee also agreed to strictly prohibit ambulant vendors and mobile food stalls within the KPC vicinity. The measure aims to address concerns over vendors operating without local permits and competition with legitimate tenants selling their products inside the center.

Aside from addressing these immediate concerns, the committee discussed plans to upgrade the facility and develop it into a more attractive stopover for motorists and tourists, encouraging them to explore and purchase locally made Kalinga products.

The formal turnover of the center’s management to the Provincial Local Government Unit (PLGU) is also being finalized to establish clearer management responsibilities and improve its operations.

A follow-through meeting is scheduled on November 4, 2026, to formally ratify and move forward with the agreed measures.

The planned improvements aim to make the Kalinga Pasalubong Center a more organized and welcoming destination while providing local entrepreneurs and producers a better venue to showcase and sell their products.

TABUK CITY, Kalinga — Governor James S. Edduba has ordered the raising of the Blue Alert status at the Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (PDRRMC) Emergency Operations Center (EOC) effective 8:00 a.m. today, October 31, 2026, in preparation for the observance of All Saints’ Day and All Souls’ Day.

Under Memorandum Order No. 572, s. 2026, issued on October 30, Edduba directed all PDRRMC member-agencies, city and municipal Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Councils (DRRMCs), private sector partners, civil society organizations, and other concerned stakeholders to heighten their preparedness and monitoring efforts during the Undas long weekend.

The move aims to ensure timely monitoring, effective warning coordination, and readiness in responding to possible emergencies as thousands of people are expected to travel to their respective hometowns and visit cemeteries across the province.

The provincial government anticipates increased movement of people and vehicles, heightened tourism activities, and other events that may lead to road accidents, disaster incidents, and other emergencies requiring coordinated response from concerned agencies.

Under the directive, all concerned agencies and offices are instructed to maintain heightened preparedness and regularly submit updates and situational reports to the Provincial DRRMC EOC through [email protected].

City and municipal DRRM offices are also directed to submit regular reports on their preparedness measures and local situations for consolidation and submission to the Office of Civil Defense-Cordillera Administrative Region.

Meanwhile, local DRRMCs are advised to convene their respective councils to review localized preparedness measures, coordinate with barangays for timely information dissemination, conduct an inventory of available resources, and activate their Incident Management Teams when necessary.

The Blue Alert activation calls for closer coordination among government agencies and local responders to ensure public safety and provide immediate assistance should emergencies arise during the Undas observance.

The provincial government also encourages the public to observe safety precautions when traveling and visiting cemeteries, follow traffic and security advisories, and cooperate with authorities to help ensure a safe and orderly Undas celebration.

TABUK CITY, Kalinga — The Provincial Government of Kalinga has allocated P5 million for the development of an access road leading to Nambaran Cemetery, making the burial site more accessible to visitors and families paying their respects to departed loved ones.

During an interview with the Philippine News Agency, Governor James S. Edduba said the provincial government recognizes the growing interest in the cemetery, which has also become a tourist attraction because of its unique features and stories behind its graves.

“Actually, it’s now an attraction to tourists. For the Province of Kalinga, we allotted P5 million for its access road so there will be a proper road going to the cemetery,” Edduba said.

He explained that the proposed development also aims to improve access for families and visitors, particularly those who may have difficulty reaching the cemetery.

Edduba also shared one of the personal stories associated with the site, recalling how his grandfather had once wished to have a vehicle that could bring him home to Colayo, including an ambulance.

According to the governor, this wish inspired the family to create a grave designed like an ambulance when his grandfather passed away, making it one of the distinctive features that draw people’s attention to the cemetery.

The P5-million allocation reflects the provincial government’s effort to improve access to the site while recognizing its growing tourism interest and the cultural and personal stories that make it unique.

Meanwhile, visitors and families are reminded by the PDRRMO to observe proper decorum while inside the cemetery, respect the graves and the privacy of other families, and refrain from littering or damaging any property. Visitors are also encouraged to keep the surroundings clean and peaceful as a sign of respect for those who have passed away and their loved ones.
