Para akong nagkaroon ng kakampi noong dumating ang<br />

<strong>Kalahi</strong>-<strong>CIDSS</strong>.<br />

”<br />

(I feel like I gained an ally when <strong>Kalahi</strong>-<strong>CIDSS</strong> came.)<br />

_Mayor Victorino Jr.Baroña<br />

Proud Volunteer<br />

Awarded last January <strong>2015</strong> as Salamat Po! National Awardee for Best Advocate for<br />

Volunteerism, <strong>Kalahi</strong>-<strong>CIDSS</strong> gained another champion in the name of Ms. Gloria S. Baltar.<br />

During the first two cycles, Gloria has been one of the Participatory Situational Analysis<br />

(PSA) volunteers. On the third cycle, she served as the Barangay Sub-Project Management<br />

Committee Chairperson of Barangay Salnec. Gloria is now an acting secretary to the Mayor,<br />

and is still one of the most active community volunteer.<br />

“<strong>Kalahi</strong>-<strong>CIDSS</strong> pay laeng iti programa iti gobyerno nga nangipakita nga awan iti mapil-pili iti<br />

bumarangay. Ditoy, you will feel included. Daytoy pay lang ti programa nga amin ket mabalin<br />

nga agvolunteer, amin ket mabalin nga tumulong, amin ket mabalin nga makitrabaho.<br />

(<strong>Kalahi</strong>-<strong>CIDSS</strong> is yet the only program of the government who has shown that no one is<br />

favored in the community. Here, you will feel included. This is yet the only program where<br />

anyone can be a volunteer, everyone can help, and everyone can work.),” Gloria starts to<br />

share her story.<br />

“Dagiti tao ditoy idi, uray awan experience da iti construction, bookkeeping, agmanage iti<br />

kuwarta, makita nga willing da nga masuruan. Dagiti dadduma pay, natalna da, haan<br />

managsa-o. Idi naki-join da iti <strong>Kalahi</strong>-<strong>CIDSS</strong>, nagbalin da nga aktibo. Dagiti volunteers<br />

mi nga idi ket awan experience da, tatta nu agsa-o idyay sango, baka maibagam pay nga<br />

engineer, wenno accountant, wenno budget officer ida. Haan kami nga managbain tattan. Ta<br />

anya kuma iti ikabain mi? Maibaga mi pay nga limmaing kami. Amin, gapu iti <strong>Kalahi</strong>-<strong>CIDSS</strong><br />

ken iti panagpursige mi. (Even without experience on construction, bookkeeping, budget<br />

management, the willingness to learn of people here before is very evident. There were<br />

also some, who were very quiet. And when they joined <strong>Kalahi</strong>-<strong>CIDSS</strong>, they became active.<br />

Those volunteers who do not have experience before, when they speak in front, you might<br />

mistake them as engineers, accountants, or even budget officers. We are not timid anymore.<br />

Because what are we supposed to be ashamed of? We can even say that we are better now.<br />

All because of <strong>Kalahi</strong>-<strong>CIDSS</strong> and our persistence),” Gloria added.<br />
