From among the two Poblacions of Talalora, Barangay Poblacion 2 is most gifted enough to avail of the project Kalahi-CIDSS or Kapit-Bisig Laban sa Kahirapan-Comprehensive and Integrated Delivery of Social Services.

Said initiation has just sprouted in a wink of an eye, which, as of this writing, consider it a magical implementation.

“Magical!….” in the fact that in a matter of few months, the tangible and concrete prints in the billboard is now being fully realized.

It is therefore noted that the major implementing persons are laden with the sincerity and deep-hearted concern to the aftermath of the project.

Being a Talaloranhon who possesses that sense of meekness yet doer of development, my own limited view is that no other project has envisioned similar to that of Kalahi-CIDSS!…Bringing the future scenario of Talalora to the present. Alas! Thanks to the strong collaborative efforts of the community.

It had been observed that when heavy rains come, Senior Santiago Street would always overflow with water, from the gate of the Talalora Central School, down to the front of the St. James Parish. Such view should have been avoided had it not been because of the concrete fences.

The murmurings of all passers-by and walk-in men and women in the said busy street during rainy season were answered when Kalahi-CIDSS came.

The project purposely served and benefited pupils and students, teachers, and the general public as a whole. Basically, its strategic method of improving the drainage canal which downpours from atop the elevated Los Martires Street, the normal flow of water current, soil run-offs and debris as well as improper disposal of garbage piling up, results in harboring and infestation of disease causing microbes. Instead, it was constructed with precision and contingency, all sediments and precipitates will now go directly and flow to where it is intended to go.

For the above-cited conditions, Talaloranhons are now recipients of tone and bodily-wellness. Hence, a none-can-mar advantage for the populace.

Thirdly, and is so far the zenith of all, is the quest for improvement of the Independencia National High School (INHS). The one and only Sunday academe was greatly helped in filling those irregular land formations. It is now an undeniable fact that the school is merely a defunct of the elementary campus, where it caters learners from the townspeople themselves and from the nearby island barangays, occupying an area subject to disasters like the surmounting sea water which even reaches above the critical level when southwest monsoon surges takes place.

All these heavy burdens have in a way, enliven the INHS community, that through patience and perseverance of the strong willed students who gathered those digged up and excavated materials of the project workers, as well as the Parent Teachers’ Association (PTA) fund initiative for the matter, the school’s new site has turned beyond comparable than before.

As a faculty member who is inclined to Environmental Science, it can then be concluded that Kalahi-CIDSS is a new part of the history of all students of School Year 2012-2013, as well as that of the teachers and the whole system in the instution.

May this project continue to spread as a co-factor in developing a new Philippines!
