BONTOC, Mountain Province  – The province is one of the three finalists in the 2019 Gawad Kalamidad at Sakuna ay Labanan, Sariling Galing ang Kaligtasan (KALASAG) national search following the aggressive implementation of disaster risk reduction and management programs, projects and activities that have improved the provincial government’s performance in one of the major aspects of risk reduction and management.

Gov. Bonifacio C. Lacwasan, Jr. said that a team of experts from concerned government agencies already completed their assessment on the province’s disaster risk reduction and management programs, projects and activities after Mountain Province was adjudged as one of the three finalists for the annual search, thus, concerned sectors are keeping their fingers crossed that the province will be able to bring home the bacon for this year.

“We are elated that our efforts to significantly improve our disaster risk reduction and management programs continue to pay off. We hope that we will do better this time so that it will serve as inspiration and motivation for other similarly situated provinces to strive for the best in such aspect of governance,” Gov. Lacwasan stressed.
