DILG Nueva Ecija Provincial Office, headed by Provincial Director Atty. Ofelio A. Tactac, Jr., CESO V, in partnership with Outreach Philippines Inc., has participated in the Christmas Party of Brgy. Mangandingay. The donation, which includes food packs, supported the community's efforts to celebrate and feel the spirit of Christmas.

The partnership reflects both organizations' commitment to fostering community development. This initiative reflects the collective commitment of both organizations to improve the lives of local residents and help them build a more sustainable and empowered future. We remain committed to uplifting the lives of our beneficiaries and providing support for their festivity. This donation is part of the DILG Nueva Ecija’s ongoing efforts to support local communities and foster sustainable development. The DILG, in collaboration with organizations like Outreach Philippines Inc., has implemented several initiatives to enhance social welfare and improve the living conditions of residents throughout the region.

The soon-to-rise project was funded under the Local Government Support Fund—Support and Assistance Fund to Participatory Budgeting (LGSF-SAFPB), a program that aims to increase access to safely-managed and resilient water supply and sanitation services of lagging municipalities across the country.

The project has a total allocation of Php 13,333,333.33 and aims to provide safe drinking water to 2500 households in Nampicuan as beneficiaries.

The ground-breaking ceremony was led by Honorable Mayor Victor M. Badar and was also witnessed by the Municipal Local Government Operations Officer of Nampicuan, LGOO VI Joanna Liza A. Olorvida, DILG Nueva Ecija Acting Program Manager Donnabel E. Estipular, and representatives from the DILG regional and provincial Locally Funded Project (LFP) teams.

The Local Government Unit of Cabiao, in coordination with the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG), unveils the newly constructed “Municipal Housing Project Phase V” in Barangay Sta. Rita, Cabiao, Nueva Ecija, December 18, 2024. The project came into fruition through the FY 2023 Seal of Good Local Governance Incentive Fund (SGLGIF), an incentive given by the DILG to support the priority projects of LGUs who were conferred with the Seal.

The unveiling and ribbon-cutting ceremony was led by Honorable Mayor Ramil B. Rivera and also participated in by the DILG Provincial Director Atty. Ofelio A. Tactac, Jr., CESO V.

LGU Cabiao allocated their Php 1,800,000.00 SGLG Incentive Fund to supplement the aforementioned municipal housing project, supporting the mandate of the Manila Bay Cleanup, Rehabilitation, and Preservation Program and addressing the need for safe and dignified shelter for its underprivileged sector dwelling in hazardous and dangerous areas along the river banks and waterways. The project added five (5) housing units to accommodate informal settler families that are affected by the relocation.

Each unit has a floor area of 27 square meters with amenities that will comfortably shelter the families and help improve their quality of living by providing them with clean water, sanitation, and electricity.

The additional housing units constructed under the SGLGIF of the DILG aim to alleviate the poor living conditions faced by the informal settlers of the municipality. This provides them with stability and security while also allowing them to significantly improve their quality of life by bringing them closer to quality healthcare, education, and other essential services for the community.

This Municipal Housing Project of LGU Cabiao is a testament to how the SGLGIF Program of the DILG is helping LGUs achieve their goal of becoming exemplary in delivering improved basic services to their constituents.
