<strong>Kalahi</strong>-<strong>CIDSS</strong> is yet the only program of the government who has<br />

shown that no one is favored in the community. Here, you will<br />

feel included. This is yet the only program where anyone can be a<br />

volunteer, everyone can help, and everyone can work.<br />

During the Leaders’ Fellowship last February <strong>2015</strong> where she has been invited for a short<br />

speech to share her experience, Gloria attested that <strong>Kalahi</strong>-<strong>CIDSS</strong> has been one of the<br />

factors for the decreasing crime rate in their municipality. “Even our crime rate decreased.<br />

Kasi bakit pa kailangang magnakaw? Pwede silang makitrabaho sa <strong>Kalahi</strong>-<strong>CIDSS</strong>. Pag tapos<br />

na, pwede silang magtrabaho sa irigasyon, sa palayan, dahil maayos na ang patubig. May<br />

water system na. Mas madali na din silang makapag-transport ng produkto nila dahil maayos<br />

crime rate decreased. Because why do they have to steal? They can now work with <strong>Kalahi</strong>-<br />

<strong>CIDSS</strong>. If [the sub-project] is already finished, they can now work at the farm, because the<br />

irrigation system is already improved. We already have water systems. It is also now easier<br />

to transport their products because we now have better roads and access ways. These are<br />

just some on how the program has helped us.),” Gloria shared during her testimonial.<br />

“Hindi naman maitatanggi na noon, talagang ang focus namin ay ‘yung implementation ng<br />

sub-projects. Kahit pa paulit-ulit na sinasabi ng mga ACT namin na reward lang namin ang<br />

mga sub-projects, at ang main project ay iyong CEAC. Pero noong tumagal, narealize namin,<br />

ang laki pala talaga ng naitulong ng mga natutunan namin sa CEAC, lalo na ‘yung mga<br />

trainings para sa mga volunteers. Ngayon kung may proyekto ang munisipyo o ang barangay,<br />

hindi na kami nahihiyang magtanong o makiparte. Kasi natuto kami sa tamang proseso at<br />

alam na namin. (We will not deny that before, our focus is on the implementation of subprojects.<br />

Even if the ACT keeps on reminding us that the sub-projects are just our rewards<br />

and the main project is the CEAC. But as time goes by, we realized how everything we have<br />

learned from CEAC has helped us, especially the trainings for the volunteers. Now, if there
