“Ang KALAHI CIDSS-NCDDP para sa akin ay hindi lang sa infra, hindi lang sa proyekto. HIndi lang mga kalsada, tulay o school building ang tinatayo ng programang ito. Pati kaming mga ‘tao’, naitayo uli kami sa aming mga paa. Ngayon marunong na kaming magdesisyon hindi lamang sa aming sarili maging para sa brgy. Kaya ko pala kahit wala akong pinag-aralan. Kaya ko pala ang magbago.”
[For me , KALAHI CIDSS-NCDDP is not just about infrastructure and sub-projects. The program does not only build roads, bridges or even school buildings. Instead, KC-NCDDP helped us rebuild ourselves and allow us to stand on our own feet again. We learned how to make decisions not just for ourselves but for our community as well. I did it though I was not able to finish formal school. I knew I can make a change.]
