June 15, 2026 – The Provincial Assessor’s Office of Kalinga is expected to further improve its real property appraisal and assessment services following its participation in the week-long roll-out training on the new Local Assessment Manual and the Manual on Real Property Appraisal and Assessment Operations.

Provincial Assessor Engr. Jeffrey Uyam informed that the office joined assessors and assessment personnel from various local government units in the training organized by the Department of Finance through the Bureau of Local Government Finance (BLGF).

The activity forms part of the implementation of the Real Property Valuation and Assessment Reform Act (RPVARA), which introduces significant updates and reforms in property valuation and assessment practices across the country.

Through the training, participants gained a better understanding of the revised policies, standards, and procedures that will guide local governments in conducting fair, uniform, and transparent real property assessments. The new manual is expected to strengthen assessment operations, improve valuation practices, and ensure compliance with national standards.

The knowledge and skills gained during the roll-out will help enhance the delivery of assessment services in Kalinga and support the province’s efforts to maintain accurate and updated property records.

The training also prepared participants for the cascading of the new guidelines at the local level, ensuring that assessment personnel are equipped to implement the reforms effectively.

With the adoption of the updated manual, local government units are expected to improve the efficiency and consistency of real property appraisal and assessment, contributing to better revenue generation and more equitable property valuation for taxpayers.

Governor Edduba Shares Lessons from Climate Resilience Learning Visit in Canada

BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA — Governor James S. Edduba shared key takeaways from a five-day learning visit in British Columbia (BC), Canada, where members of the Philippine delegation participated in discussions and site visits focused on climate resilience, disaster preparedness, and sustainable development. He was also joined by PPDC Flordeliza G. Moldero.

The Philippine Team, together with staff from Global Affairs Canada, Alinea International, the Climate Risk Institute of Canada, and Philippine counterparts, visited various government institutions, local governments, and academic organizations to learn about Canada’s approaches to climate adaptation and community resilience.

On the first working day, the delegation visited the Parliament of British Columbia and met with Hon. Kelly Greene, Minister of Emergency Management and Climate Readiness, along with senior officials from her department. The team was also given a tour of the parliament building.

Later, they traveled to the Municipality of Saanich, where local experts discussed nature-based infrastructure and how natural assets are integrated into planning and development. The group also visited an actual project site before proceeding to the University of Victoria, where specialists from the Canadian Centre for Climate Services presented topics on climate science, climate services, and decision support systems.

The second day took the delegation to the City of Nanaimo, where they were welcomed by Mayor Leonard Krog. Discussions focused on sea level rise management and nature-based coastal resilience. In the afternoon, the group visited Qualicum Beach to see the Greenshores project, a coastal protection initiative that uses natural solutions to improve resilience against climate impacts. The delegation then traveled to Vancouver via ferry.

In Vancouver and Burnaby on the third day, the team visited the Stanley Park Totem Poles for an Indigenous cultural learning experience. They later met with Philippine Consul General Dr. Gina Jamoralin, who hosted a luncheon discussion with the delegation. Among the topics discussed were possible sisterhood arrangements between Philippine and Canadian local governments, student exchange opportunities, and potential partnerships involving Indigenous women to promote local products and cultural knowledge.

The delegation also met with city planners in Burnaby for discussions on regional governance and climate planning. Another highlight of the day was an engagement with Burnaby’s first Filipina city councilor, who shared her experiences in local governance and public service.

On the fourth day, the team visited the Vancouver Central Library, which became a model cooling center following British Columbia’s 2021 heat dome event. In the afternoon, they traveled to the District of Squamish, home of the Squamish First Nation, where they met Mayor Armand Hurford, local officials, and Indigenous leaders. Discussions centered on municipal leadership, Indigenous partnerships, and community resilience. The delegation also visited Xwu’nekw Park and Eagle Viewing Park, one of the filming locations for the Netflix series Virgin River.

The final day included visits to the Cities of Delta and Surrey, where the delegation learned about the Living D**e Infrastructure Project and the Crescent Beach Storm Sewer Upgrade Project, both designed to reduce flood risks and strengthen community resilience. A dialogue with leaders of the Semiahmoo First Nation highlighted the importance of collaboration between local governments and Indigenous communities in resilience planning and implementation.

The program concluded with a debriefing and reflection session facilitated by Canadian partners. Members of the Philippine Team expressed their appreciation to the Government of Canada and partner organizations for the opportunity to learn from British Columbia’s experiences and best practices.

Governor Edduba said the visit provided valuable insights that can help strengthen local climate resilience efforts back home.

“The trip was educational and inspiring. We learned not only technical approaches to climate adaptation and disaster preparedness but also the value of culture, partnerships, and community involvement in building resilient communities,” he said.

The learning visit forms part of ongoing efforts to equip local leaders with knowledge and practical experiences that can be applied in addressing climate-related challenges in their respective communities.

The proposed activities highlight the province’s commitment to promoting proper nutrition, healthy lifestyles, environmental stewardship, and community participation. Among the featured activities are various nutrition-themed contests designed to engage different sectors of society.

For contests with online voting, elementary pupils will showcase their creativity through the Nutri-Healthy Food Jingle or Poem Recitation Contest, while junior high school students will compete in the Nutri-Spoken Poetry Contest. Senior high school students will demonstrate their artistic talents in the Nutri-Poster Making Contest, and senior citizens will participate in the Nutri-Zumba Dance Competition.

On-site competitions will feature the Nutri-Poster Making Contest for Amateurs, the Nutri-Search for the Most Nutritious Snack Product, and the Nutri-Search for the Most Nutritious Beverage Product, both open to micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) to encourage innovation in producing healthy and nutritious local food products.

To address micronutrient deficiencies, the committee emphasized the importance of Republic Act No. 8976, the Philippine Food Fortification Act of 2000, and Republic Act No. 8172, commonly known as the ASIN Law, which promotes universal salt iodization nationwide.

The advocacy session further underscored the significance of healthy diet and lifestyle initiatives such as the Department of Health’s National Policy on Healthy Diet, Pinggang Pinoy, and the Ten Nutritional Guidelines for Filipinos, all of which provide practical guidance in achieving balanced nutrition and healthier living.

The Provincial Nutrition Committee remains steadfast in its mission of achieving a malnutrition-free Kalinga through collaborative action, policy advocacy, and community participation. Through the collective efforts of government agencies, local government units, schools, communities, and development partners, the province continues to advance programs that ensure every Kalinga family has access to adequate, safe, and nutritious food.

KPHO Reminds Public to Prevent Rainy Season Diseases

June 15, 2025 — The Office of the Provincial Health Office (PHO), headed by Dr. Edward Tandingan, reminds the public to stay vigilant as the rainy season begins, bringing increased risks of seasonal illnesses such as influenza, dengue, leptospirosis, and Japanese B Encephalitis.

The OPHO encourages everyone to take preventive measures to protect themselves and their families. Avoid getting soaked in the rain when possible and avoid walking through floodwaters and other contaminated or dirty water, as these may expose individuals to diseases such as leptospirosis. Residents are also advised to remove stagnant water around their homes to prevent mosquitoes from breeding and spreading dengue.

Meanwhile, the Provincial Health Office announces that an OB-GYN specialist will visit the Kalinga Provincial Hospital on June 18 to conduct health education sessions and provide medical services. Women who need consultation and other related services are encouraged to visit the Kalinga Provincial Hospital and take advantage of this opportunity.
