Search for Outstanding Barangay Population Volunteers, Workers to be held

The Commission on Population and Development (POPCOM) will be conducting the 2023 Rafael M. Salas Kaunlarang Pantao Awards (RMSKPA) Search for the Most Outstanding Barangay Population Volunteers and Workers.

In a letter to Mayor Benjamin Magalong, POPCOM Acting Regional Dir. Cecile Aguilan-Basawil said the search aims to acknowledge the efforts of local partners as they provide efficient and effective strategies for the successful implementation of the Philippine Population and Development Program(PPDP) at the community level.

She invited the city government to join the award that honors works of unparalleled leadership and commitment in advancing and championing population and development at the national and local levels.

Attached with Basawil’s letter are guidelines for the award including the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) advisory on the RMSKPA Search for the Most Outstanding Barangay Population Volunteers and Workers.

She also thanked the Mayor for the city’s continued support to the PDPP to empower Cordilleran families and communities.

The  Special Services Division under the City Mayor’s Office disseminated the letter to the city’s barangay officials via social media (group chat) for their information and guidance. – Gaby B. Keith
