BUTUAN CITY, April 12 (PIA) -- The Regional Peace and Order (RPOC) Task Force Kitcharao created during the meeting of the regional body on April 3 in Butuan City has intensified multi-sectoral efforts to address the plight of the internally displaced persons (IDPs) originating from Cabadbaran City, Kitcharao in Agusan del Norte and Gigaquit in Surigao del Norte.
Chaired by Fr. Lito L. Clase of the Caraga Council for Peace and Development, the Task Force Kitcharao includes the Commission on Human Rights, Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), Department of the Interior and Local Government, National Commission for the Indigenous Peoples, National Economic and Development Authority, and the concerned local government units (LGUs).

About 257 families or 1,106 individuals started arriving on March 23 at the gymnasium in Imadejas Subdivision in Butuan City, turning it as their evacuation camp. Mostly from the Mamanwa tribe, they are the IDPs from the alleged armed conflict between the government’s armed forces and the New People’s Army specifically in Zapanta Valley in Kitcharao, Agusan del Norte.
Aside from distributing food packs from the DSWD, LGUs of Butuan City and Agusan del Norte, and other sectors, several dialogues were already conducted by the Task Force Kitcharao whose members became busy attending to the needs of the said evacuees amid the height of the observance of the Holy Week.
An ocular inspection was facilitated by Mayor Jenry Montante of Kitcharao to check the situation in Zapanta Valley to see if it is safe for the IDPs to return to their communities. The ocular inspection team revealed that there were no houses destroyed or damaged and that the area was clear from skirmishes and presence of the two opposing armed forces. The team consequently declared the area safe for the return of these IDPs.
The LGUs of Agusan del Norte and Butuan City provided transportation when some of the IDPs agreed to return to their places of residence in Kitcharao on April 5.
A Task Force Kitcharao dialogue with the LGU of Cabadbaran City was conducted on April 11 at the Cabadbaran City Hall where the body reiterated the request of the remaining IDPs for the concerned local government to identify IDPs from their area, and to check if it is already safe for the IDPs to return to their habitual places of residence.

Construction of multimillion irrigation system in Patin-ay starts
By William U. Andres
AGUSAN DEL SUR, April 12 (PIA) -- The construction of a P15-million worth of irrigation system starts after a ground-breaking ceremony and memorandum of agreement (MOA) was executed between the National Irrigation Administration (NIA), the provincial government, the local government unit (LGU) of Prosperidad, Barangay Patin-ay, and the Barangay Patin-ay Irrigators' Association (BPIA).
According to Ruperto Eva, President of the BPIA, the project is for the farmers in Patin-ay because they have been wishing that an irrigation system be constructed in the area so that rain waters can be controlled during rainy season while surely increasing their production because of constant water supply.
Engr. Ferdinand Amon, head of the NIA based in Rosario town, said the cost of the project had already reached P15 million for the Phase 3 implementation whose funds were taken from the provincial development for agriculture fund of Cong. Maria Valantina Plaza, the provincial government, the municipal government of Prosperidad and NIA.
“This amount will answer the completion of Barangay Patin-ay Communal Irrigation System where some mechanisms will also be installed so that it will be easier for the farmers to irrigate their rice fields so that there will be no damages that will incur during floods,” Engr. Amon said.
According to Engr. Amon, the irrigation system can be sufficient to irrigate some 100 hectares of rice fields of around 50 farmers in the area. Because of enough and controlled supply of water, farmers can possibly produce 1,000 cabans of rice per hectare if they will also use and adopt the modern way of farming and technology.
Cong. Tina Plaza also encouraged the farmers to work even harder and consider the project as another investment for better income and economic development of their families. Cong. Plaza also assured the residents of Patin-ay that she will continue to look for funds so that the same projects can be replicated in other areas.
The phase 1 of the project was the dredging of Patin-ay canal that leads to La Caridad, and Phase 2 was the completion that connects Patin-ay river to Gibong River. (RER/DMS-PIA Agusan del Sur)
