Evelyn Pacana, a community volunteer of the Kapit Bisig Laban sa Kahirapan Comprehensive and Integrated Delivery of Social Services – National Community Driven Development (Kalahi CIDSS-NCDDP), of Barangay Cosina, Talakag, Bukidnon shares her experiences being a volunteer of the program during the 5th barangay assembly. She recounts her experiences during the Kalahi-CIDSS activities. Evelyn said that it is not easy to act in front of many people just to portray the situation of their barangay, she was nervous during their presentation during one of the activities, but all their efforts bear fruit as their barangay was among the top prioritized barangay for resource allocation being the 8th ranked of the top 10 prioritized barangays. The Kalahi-CIDSS is a community-driven development (CDD) effort of the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) as a poverty alleviation program.
