BALER, AURORA – Thirty-six (36) target barangays from four municipalities in Aurora took part in the 2026 Retooled Community Support Program (RCSP) Orientation, led by the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) Region III in partnership with DILG Aurora on April 22-23, 2026, held at AMCO Beach Resort, Baler, Aurora.
The two-day activity, conducted in batches, aimed to build the capacity of barangay officials, local government functionaries, and partner stakeholders for the effective implementation of the program. It also served as a venue to provide an overview of the Support to Barangay Development Program (SBDP), which complements the RCSP by funding priority projects identified through community engagement.
Key topics discussedincluded the salient features of the DILG Memorandum Circular No. 2023-046 or the Enhanced Guidelines on RCSP, particularly its implementation process and timeline. The current security situation in the target barangays was also presented to provide context to support informed and strategic program execution.
Through the 2026 RCSP rollout, the DILG aims to further strengthen collaboration between barangays and the national government, ensuring that development efforts are more grounded on the real needs of communities and that government presence is more tangible at the grassroots level.
Now on its fifth year of implementation in the province, the RCSP remains an effective mechanism for addressing barangay concerns by bridging governance and development gaps through responsive programs, projects and activities (PPAs).
