Maria Liza Resureccion, the Barangay Local Government Unit (BLGU) officials, KALAHI-CIDSS Regional Project Management Office (RPMO) staff, Area Coordinating Teams (ACTs), and Community Volunteers.
KALAHI – CIDSS is a Program of the Department of Social Work and Development (DSWD) that embraces the Community-Driven Development (CDD) approach, where people are not mere beneficiaries but stakeholders who are actively integrated into decision-making, project development, implementation, and management.
