DavSur Guv sees serbisyo caravan as realization of PNOY’s line

SANTA CRUZ, Davao del Sur:  Gov.  Douglas Cagas of  Davao del Sur looks at the ARENA Serbisyo Caravan as  a realization of making government bureaucracy a servant  of the people.

Addressing the opening program of 4th ARENA Serbisyo Caravan  recently held in Sta. Cruz, Davao del Sur,  Cagas noted the caravan of services as a way of realizing  the  famous line of President Benigno Simeon Aquino III, “Kayo ang Boss Ko.”“President Aquino should know this.  This is a perfect example that indeed the people are our boss.

I think the President will be happy of this,” he said.Cagas noted the presence of regional directors of the 47 participating agencies to the 4th  leg of ARENA Serbisyo Caravan which is the banner project of the Association of Regional Executives of National Agencies in Region 11.

“Kining gipakita sa ARENA XI, is an example kung unsa ang sulugoon sa katawhan. (What ARENA 11 is showing is an example of what servants of  the people should be),”  he told about one thousand Sta. Cruz  residents who came to the opening program held at the municipal gymnasium.

ARENA XI with Regional Director Achilles  Gerard Bravo of DBM as its president hauled last Friday to Sta Cruz, Davao del Sur the pooled  the services of 47 national lines agencies through the ARENA Serbisyo Caravan.

Member agencies of ARENA XI first delivered their convergence of  services to Boston in Davao Oriental in August last year  and then brought the same to the nearby Davao Oriental town of Cateel.  ARENA XI swung the third leg of the Serbisyo caravan to Nabunturan, Compostela Valley in November last year.

After its fourth leg in Sta. Cruz,  the ARENA Serbisyo Caravan will deliver pooled services to Malita, Davao del Sur on Friday (April 27) along with  the surgical mission of medical and health agencies of the national government, and the conditional cash transfer of  the Pantawid Pamilya Pilipino Program.

Bravo bared talks with Davao del Norte Gov. Rodolfo P. del Rosario to hold ARENA Serbisyo Caravan in one of the barangays of the province in support of the Convergence for Peace and Development  Program of the provincial government.Bravo was optimistic of the sustained support of government line agencies in rolling out the ARENA Serbisyo Caravan saying, it had gotten the cooperation of the Ombudsman Mindanao, and that regional executives from other regions in Mindanao had signified presence during  the succeeding trips of Serbisyo caravan.  (PIA-11/Jeanevive Duron-Abangan)
