Meanwhile, the second Child Development Center facility in Barangay Campos was verified as 70% completed, with ongoing structural finishes moving smoothly toward realization.

Funded under the F.Y. 2026 Local Government Support Fund - Growth Equity Fund (LGSF-GEF) with a generous allocation of PHP 25,000,000.00, this critical infrastructure project is designed to drive rural development and significantly uplift the community's local transport network.

More Grace for the Humble

Life often teaaches us to rely on our strength, abilities, and achievements. Yet this verse reminds us that God's favor rests not on the proud, but in the humble. Humility is recognizing our need for God and acknowledging that every blessing, success, and opportunity comes from Him.

When we face challenges, God's answer is not always immediate removal of the burden, but the gift of more grace, the strength, wisdom, and peace we need to endure and overcome. The humble heart receives this grace throught willingness to depend on God rather than self.
