“Kung wala ang Kalahi-CIDSS diri sa Veruela, dili nato makab-ot and dakong kabag-uhan sa atong lungsod. Padayon pa unta ang supporta sa DSWD sa lungsod sa Veruela (If Kalahi-CIDSS was never introduced to Veruela, our municipality would never have this grand improvement. Hopefully, DSWD will continue to support Veruela),” says Mayor Salimar T. Mondejar, Municipal Mayor, Veruela, Agusan del Sur.

Mayor Mondejar and the Municipality of Veruela will be receiving the GAPAS Award for Model LGU Implementing Kalahi-CIDSS this coming January 28, 2016 during the conduct of the DSWD’s 65th Anniversary Celebration at the Asian Institute of Management, Makati City.###(MARKO DAVEY D.
