MIADP conducts training of trainers on organizing operations and maintenance groups for farm-to-market road subprojects

The Department of Agriculture’s Mindanao Inclusive Agriculture Development Project (DA-MIADP) arranged a Training of Trainers (TOT) Workshop for writing Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Manuals for subprojects that were successfully turned over under MIADP last July 28-31, 2026, in Davao City.

The workshop aimed to equip MIADP’s Regional Project Coordination Offices (RPCOs) in their respective regions in Mindanao with the knowledge and skills necessary to organize and strengthen O&M Groups (OMG), particularly in Farm-to-Market Roads (FMRs).

MIADP-PSO Project Director Macario “B**g” D. Gonzaga prioritizes the proper maintenance of subprojects listed under MIADP. He states that, “These subprojects are the gifts we give to the promising future of the younger generation, as much as they are of use and importance to the present IP communities we cover. Not only do they aid our farmers and fishermen to efficiently produce and deliver commodities, but they also enhance our overall economic growth. We must make sure that they will last well.”

“O&M manuals are important to partner LPMIUs and IPOs as these ensure efficient operation and maintenance in their agri-infrastructures, enterprise machineries, and equipment. They enable said key partners to avoid downtime costs and reduce the total cost of repairs and maintenance for crucial infrastructure and equipment,” according to Dr. Rey C. Navacilla, MIADP PSO Component 1 Head.

The main targets of the workshop are the FMRs built in the Barangays, namely: Tamurayan (Region 9), Magpet and Pigcawayan (Region 12), Bahi and Cabantao (Region 13), Little Baguio (Region 11), and Daraghuyan (Region 10).

Key agreements include Component 1 leading the organization of OMG in Ancestral Domains, in which the formed AD OMG will conduct a risk assessment half a year after subproject turnover. CBMET members can transition into an AD OMG team, given that there's an issued resolution from the concerned barangay and its IPS. PMEU and Component 2 will then simplify and integrate templates to be used by all AD OMG.

Other necessary technicalities and documents to be prepared, such as the drafting of the O&M Manuals, have been taught first as the basics. A revised, refined version of the manuals will be derived from the suggestions, comments, and recommendations to be given by the advising components and/or units involved. The workshop has been attended by RPCO participants from Components 1-4, joining the Project Support Office (PSO) team.

DA-MIADP strengthens sustainability planning through Trainers' Training on Local Institutionalization Plans

To ensure that development gains continue long after project implementation, the Department of Agriculture – Mindanao Inclusive Agriculture Development Project (DA-MIADP) has gathered representatives from Local Project Management and Implementation Units (LPMIUs), Indigenous Peoples' Organizations (IPOs), and partner institutions for a Trainer's Training on the Formulation of Local Institutionalization Plans (LIPs).

The capacity-building activity aims to strengthen the ability of local stakeholders to formulate sustainability strategies that will enable MIADP interventions to become embedded within local governance systems and community institutions.

Through the training, participants will deepen their understanding of institutionalization and sustainability concepts, learn practical tools and processes for developing Local Institutionalization Plans, enhance their facilitation skills to cascade the training in their respective areas, and produce draft LIPs for participating LPMIUs.

DA-MIADP Project Director Macario "B**g" Gonzaga underscored that sustainability has always been at the heart of the project's mission.

"Our goal is not simply to deliver infrastructure, enterprises, and livelihood opportunities. We want these investments to continue creating value for Indigenous Peoples and farming communities long after the project has ended. By strengthening the capacity of our local partners to institutionalize these initiatives, we are building a legacy of resilient communities that can sustain their own development."

Gonzaga emphasized that empowering local governments and Indigenous Peoples' Organizations to take ownership of MIADP initiatives is essential to ensuring that investments in agriculture, market access, and community development remain effective for future generations.

Meanwhile, Component 1 Head Rey Navacilla highlighted that the activity goes beyond technical planning by creating a pool of local facilitators who can champion sustainability within their respective institutions.

"This training is about creating multipliers. We are equipping participants not only with the knowledge to formulate Local Institutionalization Plans but also with the facilitation skills needed to mentor others. Through this cascading approach, sustainability planning becomes a shared responsibility rather than a one-time activity."

The training responds to the growing need for structured sustainability planning among local government units and partner organizations, where many development interventions face challenges in maintaining momentum after external project support concludes.

Anchored on the principles of the Indigenous Peoples' Rights Act (IPRA), DA-MIADP continues to promote climate-resilient, market-oriented, and culturally appropriate development approaches that increase agricultural productivity, strengthen resilience, and improve access to markets and services for organized farmer and fisherfolk groups across selected ancestral domains in Mindanao.

P3.7-M Corn enterprise for Subanen community begins rollout; More MIADP projects transforming Dumingag

The P3.7-million Corn Production, Consolidation, and Marketing Enterprise of the Peksalabken Subanen Dumingag Association (PSDA) has officially begun taking shape, marking another significant feat in empowering Indigenous Peoples (IP) communities in Dumingag, Zamboanga del Sur.

As the initial phase of the enterprise rollout, two of the six project packages have already been turned over to the association. These include one hauling truck and agricultural inputs worth nearly P1.6 million, providing the Subanen community with the essential resources to jumpstart their corn production and marketing enterprise.

The remaining project components are expected to be delivered soon. These include a corn consolidation facility, tools and equipment, personal protective equipment (PPE), and office and operational supplies, completing the enterprise package designed to strengthen the association's productivity, improve post-harvest handling, and expand market opportunities.

On top of the corn enterprise, more DA-MIADP investments are set to benefit the municipality of Dumingag.

Recently, the 1.48-kilometer Tamurayan–Macasing Farm-to-Market Road was officially opened, improving access for farmers and residents. Another one farm-to-market road is also underway, while a concrete bridge in Barangay Tamurayan and a steel hanging bridge in Barangay Labangon are in the pipeline to further improve connectivity in remote communities.

To strengthen agricultural support services, three warehouses will also be established. Meanwhile, a potable water system is being developed to serve four barangays—Canibongan, Malagalad, Mascasung, and Datu Tutukan—bringing safer and more reliable water access to local households.

“These investments show DA-MIADP's commitment to build resilient communities and create more sustainable livelihood opportunities for Indigenous Peoples particularly to the Subanen community here in Zamboanga del Sur,” said Project Director Macario “B**g” Gonzaga.

DA-MIADP turns over 1st completed
FMR subproject in Zambo Sur

The long wait is over!

Subanen Indigenous People's community in Dumingag, Zamboanga del Sur will now benefit from shorter travel time and reduced hauling cost with the completion of 1.48km farm-to-market road.

"We commend the PLGU Zamboanga del Sur, MLGU Dumingag and DA-RPCO 9 for being the first to complete an infrastructure subproject under MIADP. The turnover of this facility marks not only the subproject completion but most importantly the realization of the Subanen IP community's aspiration to have access to better economic opportunities," said MIADP-Mindanao Project Director Macario Gonzaga.

Zamboanga del Sur Governor Divina Grace Yu stressed that the completed and turned over FMR covering eight barangays will provide numerous benefit to Subanen IP community both in farming activities as well as access to social services.

Apart from FMR subproject, MIADP through DA-RPCO also turned-over two out of six packages including one unit hauling truck and agricultural inputs to Peksalabuken Subanen Dumingag Association (PSDA) in support of their Corn production and marketing enterprise.

"This reflects our commitment to go beyond the infrastructure by providing enterprise to IP communities si they can be productive and resilient," said MIADP RPCO9 Director Vener Dilig.

Director Dilig and Dumingag Mayor Gerry Paglinawan with Governor Yu as witness entered into a Memorandum of Agreement for MLGU Dumingag to put up equity for MIADP enterprise subprojects.

MIADP learns FundsChain for efficient fund management

The DA’s Mindanao Inclusive Agriculture Development Project (MIADP) convened recently in a hybrid virtual and face-to-face meeting to be accustomed with the World Bank’s FundsChain platform.

Participated by Finance personnel from Project Support Office (PSO) and their Regional Project Coordination Office (RPCO) counterparts, the training highlighted the basic concepts of the FundsChain platform to enhance transparency, accountability, and traceability in fund management.

The said platform promotes transparency due to its feature of tracing funds from the source to the end beneficiaries in all World Bank-financed projects, including MIADP.

MIADP-PSO Project Director Macario D. Gonzaga, in a statement, highlighted the importance of using platforms to make processes more convenient, especially for paperwork and tasks, including fund budgeting in the Finance Unit, such as the FundsChain.

“The FundsChain platform is a transformative tool for strengthening financial management systems within the Project. I encourage all participants to actively engage in the discussions and activities throughout the session, as this platform, introduced by our partner, the World Bank, enhances accountability and visibility of disbursements.”

The session aimed to equip RPCOs with the necessary knowledge and practical understanding of the FundsChain platform through a combination of lectures, system demonstrations, and hands-on exercises. Participants were also oriented on expected outputs and participation during the training.

MIADP-PSO Finance Unit Head Ms. Mariean E. Nasibog introduced the FundsChain platform and discussed its relevance to MIADP operations, particularly in improving financial monitoring
and reporting.

World Bank representatives Tomas Sta. Maria (World Bank Financial Management Specialist), Caroline Cheng (World Bank Finance Analyst), and Erwin Camagay (World Bank Senior Finance Assistant) gave a comprehensive presentation of the FundsChain, along with its core features and functionalities to emphasize its importance in strengthening fiduciary oversight, minimizing risks, and ensuring transparency in fund utilization.

All transactions recorded in the system are stored on the blockchain, ensuring permanent, secure, and tamper-proof records, thereby strengthening auditability.

Ang unang mga leksyon sa kinabuhi dili matun-an sa eskwelahan, kondili sa panimalay diin unang nahulma ang maayong pagkatawo.
Alang kang Bae Gelyn Cabriadas Manginsay, ang pagpadako sa mga anak dili lamang paghatag og pagkaon, sinina, ug edukasyon. Alang kaniya, ang labing importante mao ang paghulma sa ilang hiyas ug kinaiya nga ilang dad-on isip giya sa tibuok nilang kinabuhi.

Si Bae Gelyn, 64 anyos, usa ka lumolupyo sa Barangay Consuelo, Bunawan, Agusan del Sur, nga sakop sa Bunawan Manobo Ancestral Domain. Ika-upat siya sa siyam ka managsuon ug anak ni Datu Marcelino Cabriadas, nga kaniadto Barangay Kapitan sa Consuelo sa wala pa maaprobahan ang Indigenous Peoples' Rights Act (IPRA).

Ang pagpanerbisyo nahimong kabahin na sa iyang kinabuhi. Bisan third year high school lamang ang iyang nahuman, nagsugod siya sa serbisyo publiko isip Purok Chairman sa edad nga 31 anyos. Nahimo usab siyang Barangay Kagawad gikan sa 2003 hangtud 2008. Sa Consuelo Tribal Agro-Forestry Multi-Purpose Cooperative (COTAMCO), nagsilbi siya isip tresorera sukad sa 2001. Karon, usa siya sa Council of Elders (COE) sa Bunawan Manobo Ancestral Domain Management Council, Inc. (BMADMCI), usa ka katungdanan nga nagpakita sa pagsalig sa komunidad sa iyang kasinatian, kinaadman, ug integridad.

Apan sa tanan niyang mga katungdanan, ang pagka-inahan mao ang iyang labing giampingan nga responsibilidad.

Gigasahan si Bae Gelyn og pito ka anak—upat ka babaye ug tulo ka lalaki—nga tanan nakahuman sa ilang pag-eskwela ug adunay na karo’y mga kaugalingong pamilya. Sa iyang paghinumdom, dako ang kalainan sa pamaagi sa pagpadako sa mga anak kaniadto ug sa iyang gipili nga pamaagi sa pagmatuto sa iyang kaugalingong mga anak.

“𝘐𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘬𝘵𝘰 𝘨𝘺𝘶𝘥 𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘬𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘨𝘢 𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘬𝘢𝘯𝘢𝘯 𝘬𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘢𝘥𝘵𝘰. 𝘋𝘪𝘭𝘪 𝘬𝘰 𝘱𝘸𝘦𝘥𝘦 𝘮𝘰𝘭𝘢𝘢𝘨 𝘯𝘨𝘢 𝘢𝘬𝘰 𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘶𝘴𝘢 𝘶𝘨 𝘨𝘪𝘥𝘪𝘥-𝘢𝘯 𝘬𝘰 𝘮𝘰𝘢𝘯𝘩𝘢 𝘴𝘢 𝘣𝘢𝘺𝘭𝘪𝘩𝘢𝘯. 𝘕𝘢𝘢𝘺 𝘬𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘢 𝘯𝘨𝘢 𝘮𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘣𝘢𝘵 𝘬𝘰 𝘶𝘣𝘢𝘯 𝘴𝘢 𝘢𝘬𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘩𝘰𝘥 𝘢𝘨𝘪 𝘴𝘢 𝘣𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘢, 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘰 𝘵𝘢𝘶𝘥-𝘵𝘢𝘰𝘥 𝘴𝘢 𝘣𝘢𝘺𝘭𝘪𝘩𝘢𝘯 𝘯𝘢𝘢 𝘯𝘢 𝘴𝘪 𝘗𝘢𝘱𝘢, 𝘮𝘪𝘢𝘱𝘢𝘴, 𝘶𝘨 𝘬𝘢𝘣𝘢𝘭𝘰 𝘯𝘢 𝘮𝘪 𝘯𝘨𝘢 𝘣𝘶𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘯𝘨𝘢 𝘴𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘢 𝘴𝘢 𝘣𝘢𝘺𝘢𝘣𝘢𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘱𝘢𝘥𝘶𝘭𝘯𝘨𝘢𝘯 𝘯𝘨𝘢 𝘴𝘪𝘭𝘰𝘵.”

Sa iyang panan-aw, ang disiplina nga iyang nasinati kaniadto nakatabang sa paghulma sa ilang kinaiya. Matud niya, ang mga kabataan kaniadto mas matinahuron sa ginikanan ug katigulangan, maminaw sa mga sugo, ug motabang sa mga buluhaton sa panimalay ug umahan. Apan bisan pa niini, adunay pipila ka pamaagi nga wala na niya gisunod sa dihang siya na mismo ang nahimong ginikanan.

“𝘉𝘪𝘴𝘢𝘯 𝘬𝘰𝘯 𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘱𝘢𝘨𝘱𝘢𝘥𝘢𝘬𝘰 𝘬𝘢𝘯𝘢𝘬𝘰 𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘳𝘢𝘢𝘯 𝘱𝘢 𝘵𝘶𝘯𝘨𝘰𝘥 𝘬𝘢𝘺 𝘯𝘢𝘢𝘯𝘢𝘥 𝘮𝘪 𝘴𝘢 𝘣𝘶𝘯𝘢𝘭, 𝘸𝘢𝘭𝘢 𝘯𝘢𝘬𝘰 𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘢𝘯 𝘨𝘪𝘴𝘶𝘯𝘰𝘥 𝘴𝘢 𝘥𝘪𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘬𝘢𝘮𝘪 𝘯𝘢 𝘶𝘴𝘢𝘣 𝘴𝘢 𝘢𝘬𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘣𝘢𝘯𝘢 𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘯𝘢𝘬𝘢𝘣𝘢𝘵𝘰𝘯 𝘰𝘨 𝘮𝘨𝘢 𝘢𝘯𝘢𝘬. 𝘈𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘨𝘪𝘵𝘶𝘥𝘭𝘶𝘢𝘯 𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘨𝘢 𝘢𝘯𝘢𝘬 𝘴𝘢 𝘮𝘨𝘢 𝘮𝘢𝘢𝘺𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘱𝘢𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘢𝘴𝘢𝘯 𝘴𝘶𝘮𝘢𝘭𝘢 𝘴𝘢 𝘢𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘬𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘮𝘣𝘳𝘦. 𝘈𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘨𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘨𝘶𝘳𝘰 𝘯𝘨𝘢 𝘣𝘪𝘴𝘢𝘯 𝘥𝘪𝘭𝘪 𝘴𝘪𝘭𝘢 𝘣𝘶𝘩𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘴𝘢 𝘮𝘨𝘢 𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘢𝘭 𝘯𝘨𝘢 𝘣𝘶𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘨, 𝘥𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘱𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘥𝘰 𝘶𝘨 𝘱𝘶𝘯𝘰 𝘴𝘪𝘭𝘢 𝘴𝘢 𝘱𝘢𝘨-𝘢𝘮𝘶𝘮𝘢 𝘶𝘨 𝘨𝘶𝘨𝘮𝘢. 𝘗𝘦𝘳𝘮𝘪 𝘬𝘢𝘮𝘪 𝘯𝘨𝘢 𝘯𝘢𝘬𝘪𝘨-𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘺𝘢 𝘬𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘭𝘢, 𝘬𝘶𝘮𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘩𝘰𝘯 𝘴𝘪𝘭𝘢 𝘴𝘢 𝘪𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘱𝘢𝘨𝘵𝘶𝘯𝘨𝘩𝘢 𝘶𝘨 𝘴𝘢 𝘪𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘨𝘢 𝘩𝘪𝘨𝘢𝘭𝘢.”

Alang kang Bae Gelyn, ang pag-istorya ug pakig-uban sa mga anak maoy usa sa labing epektibong paagi sa paggiya kanila. Sa iyang obserbasyon, mas daghan ang mga hagit nga giatubang sa mga ginikanan karon tungod sa impluwensya sa internet, gadgets, barkada ug uban pang mga butang nga mahimong maka-impluwensya sa panghunahuna ug pamatasan sa mga kabatan-onan.

Bisan pa sa mga hagit sa kasamtangang panahon, nagtuo siya nga ang ginikanan adunay dakong papel sa paggiya sa ilang mga anak aron dili sila madani sa dili maayong impluwensya, bisyo, ug uban pang mga butang nga makaguba sa ilang kaugmaon.

“𝘒𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘨𝘢 𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘬𝘢𝘯𝘢𝘯 𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘥𝘶𝘯𝘢𝘺 𝘥𝘢𝘬𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘱𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘣𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘥𝘢𝘥. 𝘒𝘶𝘯𝘨 𝘥𝘪𝘭𝘪 𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘪𝘭𝘢 𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘶𝘥𝘭𝘶𝘢𝘯 𝘶𝘨 𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘨, 𝘥𝘪𝘭𝘪 𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘱𝘢𝘮𝘪𝘭𝘺𝘢 𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘢𝘢𝘱𝘦𝘬𝘵𝘶𝘩𝘢𝘯, 𝘬𝘰𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘭𝘪 𝘭𝘢𝘬𝘪𝘱 𝘶𝘴𝘢𝘣 𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘬𝘰𝘮𝘶𝘯𝘪𝘥𝘢𝘥.”

Busa alang kaniya, importante nga sugod pa lamang sa pagkabata, ipabati na sa mga anak ang gugma, pag-amuma, ug paggiya sa ginikanan, uban sa pag-ila sa Ginoo ug sa pagka-mainampuon.

“𝘚𝘢 𝘮𝘨𝘢 𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘬𝘢𝘯𝘢𝘯 𝘯𝘨𝘢 𝘴𝘢𝘮𝘢 𝘯𝘢𝘬𝘰, 𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘢𝘺𝘢𝘯 𝘯𝘨𝘢 𝘮𝘢𝘩𝘪𝘣𝘢𝘭𝘰 𝘬𝘪𝘵𝘢 𝘯𝘨𝘢 𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘪𝘥 𝘶𝘨 𝘮𝘰𝘣𝘢𝘴𝘢 𝘴𝘢 𝘢𝘵𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘨𝘢 𝘢𝘯𝘢𝘬. 𝘉𝘪𝘴𝘢𝘯 𝘮𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘰𝘯 𝘴𝘪𝘭𝘢 𝘯𝘨𝘢 ‘𝘰𝘬 𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘨,’ 𝘶𝘴𝘢𝘩𝘢𝘺 𝘢𝘥𝘶𝘯𝘢 𝘴𝘪𝘭𝘢𝘺 𝘮𝘨𝘢 𝘨𝘪𝘣𝘢𝘵𝘪 𝘯𝘨𝘢 𝘥𝘪𝘭𝘪 𝘯𝘪𝘭𝘢 𝘮𝘢𝘴𝘶𝘭𝘵𝘪 𝘰 𝘮𝘢𝘱𝘢𝘨𝘢𝘸𝘢𝘴. 𝘒𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘭𝘢𝘯 𝘯𝘨𝘢 𝘢𝘯𝘢𝘢 𝘬𝘪𝘵𝘢 𝘢𝘳𝘰𝘯 𝘮𝘢𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘸 𝘶𝘨 𝘮𝘰𝘴𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘵 𝘬𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘭𝘢.”

Karon, isip usa sa Council of Elders sa BMADMCI, ang mga hiyas ug mithi nga iyang gipaningkamutan nga ipanday sa iyang mga anak mao usab ang iyang gustong ipasa ngadto sa komunidad. Alang kang Bae Gelyn, ang kalig-on sa usa ka pamilya ug sa usa ka komunidad nagsugod sa panimalay—diin unang matun-an sa mga anak ang gugma, pagrespeto, disiplina, responsibilidad, ug pagtoo sa Ginoo.

“𝘔𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘱𝘢𝘺 𝘬𝘢𝘢𝘺𝘰 𝘬𝘰 𝘯𝘨𝘢 𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘪𝘵𝘢 𝘬𝘢𝘳𝘰𝘯 𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘬𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘨𝘢 𝘢𝘯𝘢𝘬 𝘯𝘨𝘢 𝘯𝘢𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘶𝘯𝘢 𝘴𝘢 𝘮𝘢𝘢𝘺𝘰 𝘶𝘨 𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘬𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘨𝘢 𝘢𝘱𝘰 𝘯𝘨𝘢 𝘯𝘢𝘨𝘵𝘶𝘣𝘰 𝘴𝘢 𝘮𝘢𝘢𝘺𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘥𝘢𝘭𝘢𝘯. 𝘋𝘪𝘭𝘪 𝘴𝘢𝘺𝘰𝘯 𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘯𝘢𝘢𝘨𝘪𝘢𝘯 𝘴𝘢 𝘱𝘢𝘨𝘱𝘢𝘥𝘢𝘬𝘰 𝘬𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘭𝘢, 𝘪𝘭𝘢𝘣𝘪 𝘯𝘢 𝘴𝘢 𝘱𝘢𝘨𝘱𝘢𝘵𝘶𝘯𝘨𝘩𝘢. 𝘈𝘱𝘢𝘯 𝘱𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘢𝘨𝘪 𝘴𝘢 𝘱𝘢𝘨𝘱𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘬𝘢𝘮𝘰𝘵, 𝘱𝘢𝘨𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘣𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘢𝘺, 𝘶𝘨 𝘬𝘢𝘯𝘶𝘯𝘢𝘺 𝘯𝘨𝘢 𝘱𝘢𝘨𝘥𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘰𝘱 𝘴𝘢 𝘎𝘪𝘯𝘰𝘰, 𝘯𝘢𝘭𝘢𝘣𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘳𝘢 𝘨𝘺𝘶𝘥 𝘯𝘢𝘮𝘰 𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘱𝘢𝘨𝘴𝘶𝘭𝘢𝘺.”

Alang kang Bae Gelyn, ang tinuod nga panulondon nga mahimong ibilin sa ginikanan dili ang kadaghan sa ilang napundar, kondili ang maayong pagkatawo nga ilang napanday sa ilang mga anak. Kay alang kaniya, ang maayong pagkatawo dili kalit nga motubo—nahulma kini sulod sa panimalay, diin unang masinati sa bata ang gugma, paggiya, ug maayong ehemplo.

Ang BMADMCI usa ka Indigenous Peoples Organization (IPO) sa Bunawan Manobo Ancestral Domain nga gi-abagan sa Mindanao Inclusive Agriculture Development Project (MIADP) ubos sa Regional Project Coordination Office XIII.

MID-TERM STUDY | MIADP PSO Project Director Macario 'B**g" D. Gonzaga welcomes Brain Trust Inc. (BTI) President Ellamides S. Antonio and Study Leader Dr. Cielito F. Habito in a courtesy meeting held Friday (July 31) at DA Regional Office in Davao City.

BTI is the contracted firm doing the Mid-Term Evaluation Study for MIADP which aims to evaluate how the Project effectively and efficiently addressing its objectives for Mindanao Indigenous Peoples Communities. It will also evaluate the progress towards its targetted Project Development Objectives (PDOs) and what adjustments are needed to strengthen implementation for the second half of MIADP.

Dr. Habito says MIADP has done a good work and participation of stakeholders is adequate. However, he added that there is a need to look into the unique twist of the Project which is the Indigenous Peoples Communities as its focused beneficiaries.

Director Gonzaga for his part says: "Whatever the findings, we will properly observe and recommendations will be considered to enhance implementation in the remaining years of MIADP."

PD Gonzaga underscores inclusivity in
MIADP covered ancestral domains

"No one will be left behind among IP communities."

This is the essence of MIADP's project implementation where all covered ancestral domains will have access to infrastructure and enterprise subprojects.

With this, MIADP Project Director Macario “B**g” Gonzaga expressed his concern on covered ADs with no subprojects just yet.

During the ongoing MIADP–NCIP–Partner Agencies Coordination Workshop in Davao City, Project Director Gonzaga emphasized his concern for the covered ADs that have yet to receive subprojects. Of the 26 ADs under MIADP, 11 remain without approved initiatives.

“While we have already achieved significant milestones, we also recognize that much work remains. One of the concerns we must address together is ensuring that all covered ADs generate subprojects. These communities continue to look forward to the opportunities that MIADP aims to deliver. I believe that through stronger collaboration, we can help move these areas forward,” Gonzaga said.

He further stressed that the success of MIADP is a shared responsibility among key stakeholders, expressing optimism that “collective commitment is the key to achieving the outcomes we have set for our IP beneficiaries.”

The two-day coordination workshop, attended by MIADP PSO and RPCOs, NCIP, and LPMIUs, is expected to produce catch-up plans to ensure that all ADs concerned will generate subprojects and benefit from MIADP’s interventions.

Meanwhile, MIADP RPCO 12 Director John Pascual for his part said Blaan and T'boli AD in Banga, South Cotabato will soon access three infrastructure subprojects and two enterprise subprojects. Once RPAB approved in August, this means all covered ADs in Region 12 will have MIADP subprojects. | via ODPD, photos by Dearly Ann Andaya
