The City Government of Tagbilaran is currently rolling out its dynamic 3rd Civil Society Organization (CSO) Empowerment Week, bringing together local groups for an inspiring week-long celebration of governance, community action, and collaboration running through this week. Spearheaded in partnership with the Tagbilaran City People's Council (TCPC), the ongoing observance features a robust lineup of activities—ranging from an opening holy mass and the first-ever CSO Quiz Bee to hands-on coastal clean-ups, financial literacy workshops, urban gardening sessions, and the lively CSO Larolympics 2026.
Highlighting the vital role of grassroots partnerships, Mayor Jane Yap emphasized that these organizations remain essential partners in building a responsive, inclusive city that truly understands and addresses the everyday realities of its people. Tagbilaran's pioneering initiatives, including its recognized Local People's Council and the Center for Responsive Citizen Empowerment, Education and Development (CREED), continue to set a high standard for collaborative local governance as the week's events unfold.
