Tubod, Lanao Del Norte – Lanao del Norte Governor Imelda Q. Dimaporo who endorsed the town of Kauswagan as the site of one of the first three model resettlements for the Balik Probinsya, Bagong Pag-asa Program of the Duterte Administration is developing other models for the program, including the establishment of a call center.
During a consultation meeting with officials of the Mindanao Development Authority (MinDA) attended by several town mayors, Gov. Dimaporo said Lanao del Norte is willing to host more Balik Probinsya resettlement projects with the support of the different agencies of the national government.
The mayor of Kapatagan town would like to establish a BPO outlet which would employ returning Lanao del Norte residents.
Just like the Kauswagan model, the Kapatagan Balik Probinsya Village will also have a housing project where the returning residents will stay.
Another town would like to set up a Balik Probinsya village where the residents will be involved in tree farming with Coffee and Cacao intercrop.
Gov. Dimaporo said that what is important is the constant coordination between the national government agencies and the local government units for the implementation of the program.
“We fully support this program initiated by Sen. Bong Go which is endorsed by President Duterte,” she said during the meeting with MinDA.
Lanao del Norte is expected to roll out the first Balik Probinsya model community in two weeks as Kauswagan has already prepared the town for the program.
