Naga's Most Child-friendly Barangay bested 26 others in city


As one of the highlights of the National Children’s Month Celebration, the City Government of Naga delivered the State of Our Children Report (SOCR) and Awarding of the 2018 Search for Most Child-Friendly Barangay Awards, Nov. 27 at the Avenue Convention Plaza, here.

This is consistent with Ordinance No. 2014-072 sponsored by City Councilor and Naga City Council for the Welfare and Protection of Children (NCCWPC) Co-Chairman Elmer S. Baldemoro, which strengthens the Barangay Councils for the Protection of Children (BCPC) in the 27 Barangays of the City of Naga by providing incentives through the institutionalization of the Most-Child Friendly Barangay Awards. The search was conducted from October 22 - 30, 2018.

Topping the award is Barangay Abella with a rating of 96.40%, followed by Brgy. Sabang, 2nd Place with a rating of 96%; Brgy. Carolina - 3rd Place with a rating of 94.10%; Brgy. Dinaga- 4th Place with a rating of 92.50% and Brgy. Bagumbayan Norte on 5th Place with a rating of 90.50%.
Recipient of the top awards received P1M, P700K, P500K, P300K, and P200K worth of projects and trophies, respectively.
Meanwhile, the 6th to 10th Place went to Brgys. Del Rosario, Calauag, Panicuason, Concepcion Grande and Igualdad, respectively, each received P100K worth of projects and trophy.
For Baldemoro, the Award is one way of giving recognition to the accomplishments of every barangay on the programs of the children.
“This is one way of expressing gratitude by the City Government of Naga, because Naga cannot be the Most Child-Friendly City without the support and cooperation of the barangays. The barangays have a big part on it,” Baldemoro said.
