“Ang mga proyekto pong ito ay nagpapakita ng pagkakaisa ng komunidad at lokal na pamahalaan sapagkat ang komunidad ang nag-identify ng mga proyektong ito na sinuportahan naman ng pamahalaang lokal sa pamamagitan ng serye ng coordination meetings,” said Iglesia.
“Layon nitong tuluyang maisulong ang mga komunidad upang maging tahimik at payapa ang mga malalayong lugar na bahagyang naiwan na ng pag-unlad. Isang paraan din ito ng pagpapakita ng pamahalaan ng tunay at tapat na pagtupad sa pangakong serbisyo sa mga Filipino,” Iglesia added.
In a message from 202nd Infantry Brigade Col. Cirilo Balautro Jr., stated that Taklang Anak was selected to be the beneficiary of the project because it was previously known as a counter-affected area and after going through the Retooled Community Support Program it was recommended to receive the project.
