SUCCESSFUL LAUNCHING OF THE CARMEN LGU HEALTHY WORKPLACE INITIATIVE

The Local Government Unit of Carmen marked the successful launching of its Healthy Workplace Initiative, kicking off the program with a high-energy Pickleball Tournament at Carmen Municipal gymnasium, May 21, 2026 to promote physical wellness and camaraderie among public servants.

Headed by Mayor Rogelio T. Taliño, who was capably represented by Hon. Ivy Carolino Pobre, Chairperson on Health and Social Services, the event enjoyed the full support of Vice Mayor Roger Ryan Taliño. Implemented in close coordination with the Gender and Development (GAD) Council, the GAD Focal Person, and the Human Resource Management Office (HRMO), the initiative institutionalized employee welfare and inclusive wellness. It also aligned with national lineages advocating for holistic health among civil servants and uniform personnel, such as the Philippine National Police (PNP) fitness frameworks.

The successful launching saw an impressive turnout, actively participated in by the different offices of the local government unit alongside the vibrant membership of CCLguae, Inc. (Carmen Combined LGU Employees Association). Stepping away from daily bureaucratic tasks, representatives from the various municipal departments traded pens for paddles, diving into friendly but intense competition.

Beyond the thrilling rallies, the tournament broke down departmental silos, boosted morale, and fostered an inclusive culture of health. This milestone achievement underscores that a healthy, equitable workforce across all local government offices is the backbone of excellent governance. Employees returned to their stations re-energized and more unified to serve the community of Carmen.

CARMEN, COTABATO – The recently concluded Summer Kids Peace Camp (SKPC) 2026 stands as a testament to the strong, unified, and compassionate leadership of the Province of Cotabato and the Municipality of Carmen.

Under the visionary leadership of Governor Emmylou "Lala" Taliño-Mendoza, the protection and welfare of the youth have been placed as a top priority. This noble mission is fully supported by Vice Governor Rochella Marie "Ella" Taliño-Taray and Congresswoman Samantha Santos, ensuring that every child is given the opportunity to grow in a safe, healthy, and nurturing environment.

In the Municipality of Carmen, this initiative was brought to life through the efforts of Mayor Rogelio Taliño, Vice Mayor Roger Ryan Taliño, and the honorable members of the Sangguniang Bayan and the heads of offices. They worked hand-in-hand with the Municipal Social Welfare and Development Office (MSWDO), headed by Mr. Rahib Abas, RSW.

A vital force behind the success of the activity was the Gender and Development (GAD) Council of Carmen Cotabato, which ensured that principles of equality, inclusivity, and non-discrimination were at the heart of every activity. This endeavor was made possible through the strong collaboration of the Local Council for the Protection of Children (LCPC), the Local Committee Against Trafficking and Violence Against Women and Their Children (LCAT-VAWC), and various partner agencies.


We extend our deepest gratitude to the supportive parents who placed their trust in this program and allowed their children to participate.

Throughout the camp, Social Workers Reymark Daquiado, RSW, Shella May Peralta, RSW, Myra Leopoldo, LPT, RSW and Melisa Campong, RSW together with dedicated teachers and student volunteers, emphasized the importance of Republic Act No. 11930 (Anti-Online Sexual Abuse or Exploitation of Children Law) and the fundamental rights of every child.

By working together—leaders, agencies, educators, and families—we are not just building memories; we are building a safer, more peaceful, and brighter future for the next generation.

KKDK ROLL-OUT TRAINING, MATAGUMPAY NA ISINAGAWA SA BAYAN NG CARMEN

CARMEN, COTABATO – Isinagawa ang Katatagan, Kalusugan, at Damayan ng Komunidad (KKDK) Roll-out Training, noong ika-28 ng Abril 2026.

Higit pa sa isang ordinaryong pagsasanay, ang programang ito ay buhay na patunay ng prinsipyong "Serbisyong Totoo."

Dumalo sa nasabing aktibidad si Vice Governor Rochella Marie “Ella” Taliño-Taray bilang representante ni Governor Emmylou Taliño-Mendoza at nagbigay ang isang makabuluhang mensahe na nagbigyang-diin na ang kapayapaan at kaayusan ang pundasyon ng anumang pag-unlad.

Naroon din si Sangguniang Bayan Member, Hon. Alberto G. Rivera na nagpahayag na ang lokal na pamunuan ng Carmen sa pamumuno ni Mayor Rogelio T. Taliño ay walang sawang sumusuporta sa mga programa na naglalayong mas mapabuti ang antas ng pamumuhay sa komunidad. Kinilala din ang serbisyo ng mga barangay volunteers, sa kanilang paglilingkod na may kasamang pagmamahal at malasakit.

Ang nasabing aktibidad ay partikular na idinisenyo para sa mga facilitators ng Community-Based Drug Rehabilitation Program (CBDRP). Ito ay isinagawa sa ilalim ng gabay at pangangasiwa ng tanggapan ng IPHO sa pangunguna ni Provincial Health Officer ,Dr. Eva C. Rabaya at Program Coordinator Karen Jae Cabrillos.


Ang tagumpay ng aktibidad ay bunga ng matibay na pagkakaisa at pagtutulungan ng iba’t ibang ahensya at sektor. Pinangunahan ito ng RHU Carmen sa pamumuno ni Dr. Jade Elvazo at CBDRP Coordinator Sarah Pantao, RN. Nagbigay naman ng teknikal na suporta sina MSWDO Rahib Abas, RSW, at mga facilitators na sina Myra Leopoldo, RSW; Reymark Daquiado, RSW; at Noraisa Akmad.

Hindi matatawaran ang naging ambag at dedikasyon ng mga Barangay Health Workers (BHWs) mula sa lahat ng 21 barangay ng Carmen, pati na rin ang mga kalahok mula sa munisipalidad ng Kabacan na naging katuwang sa matagumpay na implementasyon.

Isang mahalagang bahagi ng programa ang integrasyon ng Gender and Development (GAD). Dito ay natutunan ng mga facilitator ang kahalagahan ng pagiging gender-responsive sa proseso ng rehabilitasyon ng mga Persons Who Use Drugs (PWUDs). Binigyang-diin na ang tunay na pagbabago ay nagsisimula sa pagtrato sa bawat indibidwal nang may dignidad at respeto, habang tinutugunan ang kanilang emosyonal at sikolohikal na pangangailangan.

Sa huli, ang KKDK at GAD programs ay nagsisilbing tanglaw sa Carmen—mga programang magkatuwang na bumubuo ng isang mas inklusibo, matatag, at mapagkalingang komunidad para sa lahat.
