progress for all barangays in the province thru team or convergence
approach on service delivery, in which it will ultimately
aim to reduce poverty. It is also a part of the governor’s
Delivery of Vital Barangay Services (DVBS) program.
Aside
from the different offices under the provincial government
and NGOs, all national line agencies such as TESDA, PNP, Philippine
Army, CDA, PVAO, DepEd, DTI, DILG, DPWH, DAR, DENR, NCIP,
SSS, NBN4, PIA, PhilHealth, Pag-Ibig and the media and other
organizations existing in the province are involved in the
convergence team.
