A total of five Alagang Tingog Centers (ATC) have been opened in Davao del Norte in just a matter of days, Tingog Party-list has reported. Last Thursday, April 20, one ATC each was inaugurated in Tagum City and the municipalities of Asuncion and San Isidro. Just a day earlier, Tingog also formally opened an ATC each in Samal Island, Panabo City, and the municipality of Carmen. The ATC--the brainchild of Tingog Party-list Rep. Yedda Marie Romualdez--is a social service-slash-public outreach center. “Consistent with Tingog’s mission to bring forth change, hope, and progress, we are pursuing the mission to reach out to more people, especially those in remote areas, to make it easier for them to avail of government services,” said Rep. Romualdez, wife of House Speaker and Martin Romualdez. Rep. Romualdez thanked the concerned local officials for their cooperation and assistance in the establishment of the ATCs in their respective jurisdictions as well as the people of Davao del Norte for their warm reception. “Huwag po kayong mag-atubili na pumunta sa ating mga ATC at makakaasa kayo na gagawin naming ang aming makakaya upang maihatid sa inyo ang karampatang serbisyo (Please don't hesitate to come to our ATCs, where you can expect that we'll do our utmost in giving you the necessary servicesl),” she added. “With these new ATCs, many of our people in the province of Davao del Norte can enjoy needed government services practically next to their doorstep, sparing them the inconvenience of traveling to urban centers for this purpose. I hope and pray for the success of this endeavor so we can reach out to more people in the future,” Speaker Romualdez for his part said. The formal opening of the additional ATCs in the province was signified by a ribbon-cutting ceremony led by Davao del Norte Vice Governor Oyo Uy and House Deputy Secretary General Ponyong Gabonada. Uy and Gabonada were joined by Asuncion Mayor Eufracio Dayaday in the inauguration of the ATC in the municipality of Asuncion, while Tagum Mayor Rey Uy was present for the formal opening of the new public assistance center in his city. Following the inauguration rites, the ATCs commenced their services with the distribution of P2,000 in financial assistance under the Department of Social Welfare and Development's (DSWD) Assistance to Individuals in Crisis Situations (AICS) program. Some 500 residents of San Isidro were the initial recipients of the AICS, while 500 beneficiaries from the transport sector received the same assistance in Asuncion. On the other hand, a total of 1,700 farmers received the payout in Tagum City.
