Community Organizing (Field Instruction III) Culmination at Purok Hervias II

The Community Organizing initiative at Purok Hervias II, Barangay Villamonte, Bacolod City has officially concluded after months of engagement and collaboration with the community.

Since February, social work students worked closely with residents, especially the mothers, through sessions on Disaster Risk Reduction Preparedness and Solid Waste Management aimed at strengthening awareness, resilience, and community participation. The project ended with a clean-up drive and turnover of cleaning materials as a continuation of environmental efforts in the area.

This initiative was made possible through the support of Barangay Villamonte led by Hon. Rommel Flores and Hon. Lalaine Catalan Agsam, Purok President Mr. Rene Lañojan, and the Bacolod Environment and Natural Resources Office (BENRO), along with the assistance of Cong. Albee Benitez, Hon. Greg G. Gasataya, Abang Lingkod Partylist, Felix G. Yusay Foundation Inc., and the Philippine Air Force under 2LT Ron Victor E. Llavanes. Appreciation is also extended to Riverside Medical Center, Inc., resource speakers Mr. Eriberto Duatin and Sir Dustin Veridiano, and the UNO-R Social Work Program headed by Sir Aaron Kim M. Gil, with Ms. Janet Villanueva and Ms. Mabel Gonzales, together with supervisor Ms. Charmaine M. Viloria.

Most importantly, heartfelt thanks go to the Kasanag Hervias Community of Mothers for their active participation and commitment, which made the entire journey meaningful and successful.
