Today, February 29, 2024, the 21st Kauswagan Caravan has reached 7 barangays in the Bayog Valley, benefitting 1,122 disadvantaged families from the distant barangays of Catigbian, Yabyaban, Cabagngan, Palmera, Gibatangan, Cabulaloan and Sibunot, all in the municipality of Laoang.
Governor Edwin Ongchuan led the various Provincial Government departments in the delivery of services, in collaboration with different national government agencies, non-government organizations, LGU Laoang and private sector groups.
Held in Brgy. Catigbian, Laoang, the Kauswagan Caravan provided essential services to the Bayog Valley residents which included free medical check-up and medicines, dental services, circumcision, vaccination, deworming of animals and other veterinary services, haircut, food packs and pails, toys and candies, school supplies, blankets, vegetable seeds, farm tools and other agricultural inputs, slippers, ice cream and biscuits.
Joining the team, Second District Congressman Harris Ongchuan acknowledged the contribution of the Kauswagan Caravan partners in helping uplift the lives of those from the Second District, selflessly sharing their resources to come to the aid of fellow Nortehanons, particularly the Laoanganons. He recalled the previous caravan of services which reached Brgy. Rombang and its neighboring barangays, also in Laoang. Meanwhile, the Local Government Unit of Laoang through Vice Mayor Mike Sarmiento, along with Catigbian, the Kauswagan Caravan host barangay, through Punong Barangay Alex Lucban, also echoed the gratitude of Congressman Ongchuan to the Provincial Government and partner agencies-groups, for bringing services closer to the people.
Apart from offering services, the Kauswagan Caravan also brought irresistible joy to children and adults who were crooned by the Kauswagan Band and the 43rd IB Band, and more entertaining numbers from the Kauswagan Dance Crew and the NSPPO dancers.
