00:00As we continue to talk about the actions and programs of the local governments

00:04to fight poverty, let's find out the steps they are taking

00:08for them to succeed here at the National Anti-Poverty Commission's

00:12Action Against Poverty.

00:22This morning, we will talk here on our live program

00:26with Atty. Raj Sagarinovidad, the Municipal Administrator of Bayambang, Pangasinan

00:33to talk about how the convergence and cooperation between the agencies

00:38and the organizations of your local government will help you succeed.

00:41Atty. Raj, good morning.

00:43Hello, good morning for all of us.

00:45Alright, so let's start from where Bayambang is.

00:47When it comes to poverty, what is the current situation of your LGU?

00:53I'm very happy to say that the change of the LGU of Bayambang is huge.

01:00From 2016, when the former mayor, Dr. Cesar Tirado Quiambao, came,

01:07to now, 2025, when the former mayor established a revolution against poverty

01:14that is being continued by our current mayor, Mayor Nina Jose Quiambao.

01:21So, I already mentioned the revolution against poverty.

01:26We started this in 2018, and it continues until now.

01:31This is a 10-year program from 2018 to 2028.

01:35We created the Bayambang Poverty Reduction Plan

01:38where all 14 basic sectors of our community came together

01:46and they identified the problems of our country

01:50and they also identified the solution to end poverty in Bayambang.

01:58So, we just recalibrated our Bayambang Poverty Reduction Plan last August 2024

02:04because we thought that 2028 is almost here,

02:08it's only been 3 years.

02:10So, what did we do from 2018 to 2024?

02:15And what else should we do?

02:16Taking into consideration the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic in our country.

02:22Okay, so the plan is here.

02:24This is their Bayambang Poverty Reduction Plan.

02:27And it's great that Atty. Raj mentioned that the people in this sector

02:31were the ones who did this and they identified the problem and the solution.

02:36So, there's a sense of ownership.

02:37Yes.

02:38Alright.

02:39So, what are the salient points here?

02:40I think you have anti-poverty trust here.

02:43Yes, we identified 5 sectoral agendas.

02:48Our fellow citizens said that we need these agendas to end poverty.

02:54Number one, we have the agricultural modernization.

02:56Number two, we have good governance.

03:00We also have social protection and cultural development.

03:05We also have economic development, infrastructure development,

03:08and environmental protection and disaster resiliency.

03:11So, these are the 5 sectoral agendas that are included in our Bayambang Poverty Reduction Plan.

03:17Our Bayambang Poverty Reduction Plan, or also BPRP,

03:21we consider it as the Bible of the LGU-Bayambang.

03:24Okay, so you have a guide.

03:25And I understand that there's also a team that monitors?

03:27Yes, we also have the Bayambang Poverty Reduction Action Team

03:33making sure that our programs in the BPRP are followed.

03:40Because we have a timeline, so it should not be delayed.

03:43If there's a delay, it should be followed.

03:46So, that's the function of the Bayambang Poverty Reduction Action Team, or BPRP.

03:52Alright, Atty. Raj, can you share or specify some programs

03:55that you mentioned in the 5 agendas that you set here?

03:58Yes, so the agricultural modernization,

04:01we really strengthen our agricultural sector,

04:05considering that Bayambang is an agricultural town.

04:08So, of course, the farm machineries, we strengthen that.

04:12In our social protection, we have the comprehensive services to the town.

04:17We are now in year 8 in the comprehensive services to the town,

04:20where we lower all services to our LGUs in the barangay,

04:26in our municipality.

04:27We also have our teenage pregnancy,

04:29because in a way, especially after the pandemic,

04:32our teenage pregnancy is a bit alarming.

04:37I think it's common in a lot of LGUs.

04:41And then, we also have our bookletaklat,

04:44because our youth are now too focused on gadgets.

04:50So, we are encouraging them to return to the love of reading.

04:56So, we have a lot of environmental protection.

04:58We are a consistent awardee of Kalasag,

05:01and we are also a consistent SGLG awardee.

05:05So, we also have housing projects.

05:08We have a partnership with Couples for Christ and COPDIL housing projects.

05:14We have a lot of housing projects in our BPRP.

05:17Alright, when it comes to convergence,

05:20how will this apply to the programs that you mentioned?

05:24Yes, so convergence is important,

05:26because we want to make sure that our resources are maximized,

05:30because our resources are limited.

05:32And we want to make sure also that our community has ownership of the project.

05:40So, a perfect example is our teenage pregnancy.

05:45So, we make sure that our local youth development office has convergence,

05:49our rural health unit, our DepEd in our schools,

05:55and our civil society organizations.

05:57So, in the programs that are included in our BPRP,

06:02the convergence of the different sectors is very, very prominent.

06:08So, this is not just a revolution of the LGU,

06:13this is a revolution of the whole community, of the whole municipality.

06:18So, all of our programs have convergence.

06:21You mentioned the revolution against poverty.

06:24It only shows how serious the Bayangbang Paralabanan is against poverty in your area.

06:30Alright, so you mentioned that this is like your Bible.

06:34So, why is it important for every local government unit to have a poverty reduction plan?

06:40It's very important because all of us, our goal is to develop our community,

06:47to develop our local government.

06:49And all of our programs are geared towards ending poverty in our jurisdiction, in our locality.

06:57But it's hard when there's no plan.

07:01It's hard when there are different directions.

07:04So, the BPRP is like a road map for everyone,

07:07so that we are all on the same path.

07:11That's why even our CDP, our Comprehensive Development Plan,

07:15our AIP, our Annual Investment Program,

07:18are centered around our Bayangbang Poverty Reduction Plan,

07:22or in other places, it's called Local Poverty Reduction Action Plan.

07:26All of our plans are centered, even our Gender and Development Program,

07:32is also centered around our Poverty Reduction Plan.

07:36And I hope this will serve as a model and inspiration for other local government units

07:40to really take this reduction plan seriously and have a team to monitor it.

07:45Yes.

07:46So that it's on track.

07:47We're very proud because it's not just compliance for us.

07:51For some, it's like, let's make an LPRAP because the DILG or the NAPC is mandating us to submit one.

07:59But this is what we're really serious about.

08:01Our Anti-Poverty Summit in 2018 was with the guidance of the National Anti-Poverty Commission.

08:09So from the beginning, even the recalibration of our BPRP,

08:13we are the body of the National Anti-Poverty Commission.

08:16So that's how serious we are with our Anti-Poverty Drive in the LGU Bayambang.

08:21And actually, in 2018, we put a time capsule.

08:26Okay, yes. Very symbolic.

08:28Very symbolic.

08:30So in the time capsule, it says,

08:33did we win our revolution against poverty?

08:38So in 2028,

08:39You're going to open it?

08:40We are going to open it.

08:41And we're going to ask ourselves,

08:43that's why our effort in our BPRP is so strong.

08:48Because we have a timeline that we follow.

08:51And we imposed to ourselves that we need to win the revolution.

08:56Because in 2028, we are going to answer that question.

08:59And hopefully, our answer to that question is,

09:01yes, we won the revolution.

09:04Yes, we won the revolution against poverty.

09:06Alright, I want to touch on the agriculture pillar, the sector agenda.

09:11What is the main produce in your area?

09:14And also, how do you help the farmers

09:18to improve their state of life?

09:21Yes, so we have onion.

09:24We are the number one producer of onion in the region.

09:29We also have corn, corn belt of Pangasinan.

09:33So it's nice, I'd like to share that yesterday,

09:37UPLB just left, National Pest Control Center.

09:43They had a three-day, two-day training.

09:47Yesterday was the third day.

09:49They visited the whole Bayambang and the farmlands.

09:53Because our farmers are being taught how to control pests.

10:00So we have a strong partnership with UPLB.

10:04That's one of our recent efforts.

10:08And then we also have e-agro.

10:09So e-agro, the way we describe it is like the Shopee of farming.

10:14Okay, so there's a digital market for the farmers.

10:17So for the farmers, all of their farm inputs

10:20can be bought from e-agro at a lower cost.

10:24And then they can also market their produce

10:26in e-agro at a higher price.

10:29And then, the most salient feature of e-agro is

10:33that our farmers can borrow money without collateral.

10:37Because we realized that the reason why our farmers,

10:43because they have a cycle, right?

10:45They will borrow a high interest

10:48so that they can use it for their farm.

10:53And then, what they will earn from the farm,

10:55that's just a payment of their debt

10:57to a very large interest.

10:58So what they will get from our farmers is just a small amount.

11:01That's why e-agro is always the most difficult sector

11:04in our community.

11:06So what we did was, we lowered the interest.

11:09We removed the middleman

11:10because usually, the middleman earns.

11:13So the middle person.

11:14So what we will do is,

11:16they will directly sell their produce.

11:19We will remove the middle person

11:22so that they can earn directly.

11:25That's the beauty of e-agro,

11:27which was conceptualized by our former mayor,

11:30Dr. Cesar Quiembao,

11:31who was strengthened by our current mayor,

11:35Mayor Nino Saquiembao.

11:37Well, I see and I feel that this is very close to your heart

11:39because you're also heading the BPRATA

11:42in your area.

11:44And also, you came from NAPC.

11:46Yes, I've been working in NAPC for a long time.

11:49Alright, well, we congratulate you, of course.

11:52Thank you so much.

11:53And the Bayambang Local Government Units

11:56are building this poverty reduction plan

11:59based on the actions that are included here

12:01that you are continuing to do

12:03and monitoring in your area.

12:04Thank you very much.

12:06Thank you very much.

12:07Do you have a message for our viewers?

12:10I hope that my message

12:12to our local government units is,

12:15I think, for me personally,

12:18I really believe that

12:20the key to development

12:22lies with our local government units.

12:25We are the soldiers at the bottom

12:28and we really need to take the anti-poverty drive seriously.

12:32I hope that our LPRA is not just mere compliance.

12:37If we really take the anti-poverty drive seriously,

12:41anti-poverty programs of our local government,

12:43I really believe that we can end poverty

12:46in our localities.

12:47Okay, that's why, Atty. Raj,

12:49please join me

12:51and let's take action together

12:54against poverty.

12:56Atty. Raj, thank you very much.

12:57Thank you very much.
