Aurora, Philippines – December 04, 2024 –The DILG Aurora through its pioneered capacity building program: KP DREAMS empowered 848 frontliners of community-based dispute resolution through a series of in-person (face to face) skill enhancement training on Katarungang Pambarangay (KP) which ran from March 19, 2024 to December 03, 2024.
The program substantially improved not merely the knowledge and understanding of the Lupon Members on their legal mandates, but more importantly, it has improved their attitude towards their roles and responsibilities in advancing human rights protection and ensuring peace and order and public safety through a just, speedy, and inexpensive resolution of conflict or administration of justice in their respective barangays.
Specifically, the program enhanced the technical competencies of the participants in terms of determining Lupon’s Authority, observance of settlement procedures and timelines, Records Management, preparation and timely submission of Reportorial Requirements, Promotion and upholding of Execution of Settlement Agreement or Arbitration Award, Implementation of various Settlement Techniques and continuous implementation of KP Information Drives.
Dir. Ener P. Cambronero, DILG Aurora Provincial Director officially closed the FY 2024 capacity building activities of KP DREAMS on December 03, 2024 at Casiguran, Aurora. In his message, he underscored:
"Kayo, bilang mga miyembro ng Lupon Tagapamayapa, ay may napakahalagang gampanin bilang mga tagapagtaguyod at haligi ng kapayapaan at kaayusan sa inyong mga komunidad. Nawa’y patuloy ninyong pagyamanin ang inyong mga kakayahan at kaalaman sa epektibong pamamahala ng Katarungang Pampabarangay sa inyong mga barangay."
This year’s program accomplishment is attributed to the commitment and support of DILG Aurora’s partner stakeholders including the Office for Alternative Dispute Resolution (OADR), Liga ng mga Barangay (LnB), and Municipal Governments, among others.
