Delivering Direct Government Services
BOHOL - Government services and direct assistance reached local residents as Bohol participated in the nationwide Handog ng Pangulo initiative on September 14, 2026. Held at the Carlos P. Garcia Park in Tagbilaran City, the major outreach converged multiple national and local offices in one location. Participating agencies delivered critical public programs covering health, employment, education, agriculture, fisheries, migrant worker support, and general social welfare. This centralized setup ensured that community members could easily access various forms of government aid without unnecessary bureaucratic delays.
Celebrating Presidential Leadership And Support
Governor Aris Aumentado welcomed attendees by emphasizing that the simultaneous event served as Bohol's fitting tribute to President Ferdinand 'Bongbong' R. Marcos Jr.’s 69th birthday. Food Terminal Incorporated President and CEO Joseph Rudolph Lo delivered a special message from the President underlining national commitments to grassroots community empowerment. Representatives from key departments including the Department of Agriculture, Department of Health, Department of Labor and Employment, and TESDA actively managed service booths. Their collaborative presence demonstrated a unified national and local approach toward inclusive public service delivery.
Advancing Sustainable Provincial Development
This expansive outreach initiative directly supports the provincial Capitol’s Strategic Governance Roadmap toward a smart, resilient, inclusive, and sustainable Bohol. By bringing responsive public services directly to communities, the administration strengthens local opportunities across the country's first UNESCO Global Geopark. Sustained inter-agency cooperation ensures that marginalized families and local workers receive tangible assistance tailored to their everyday needs. Such dedicated public programs continue reinforcing the vital bond between citizens and effective governance.
