Said momentous occasion was graced by the Provincial Governor of Surigao del Norte, Hon. Robert Lyndon S.

Lyndon and the genuine desire of Mayor Felicisimo “Daddy Moke” C. Cebedo, Vice Mayor Shiela Orquina Cebedo, and MLGOO VI Welivie C. Diola is very much instrumental in the establishment of B.R.I.D.G.E. BSRC that made it an insurmountable success not only to Bacuaganons but also to the people of Surigao del Norte as a whole together with the strong coordination of the PDEA officials, national and local Department Heads in Bacuag, BADAC members led by its respective Punong Barangays, and the Balay Silangan Service Providers.
The commencement exercises paid off all the hard works of the provincial and local government units with the DILG through MLGOO VI Welivie C. Diola and the PDEA RO XIII represented by Surigao del Norte Provincial Officer IA V Randy T. Pulmano, and all its stakeholders who had hatched the reformation program months before its inauguration and formal launching.
B.R.I.D.G.E. BSRC was inaugurated and was formally launched November last year with the support of Gov. Lyndon Barbers as its Guest of Honor and as major financial contributor and partner of LGU-Bacuag headed by Mayor “Moke” and Vice-Mayor Shiela Cebedo. The formal launching of B.R.I.D.G.E. BSRC was also attended by its stakeholders who witnessed the event.
It was also during said inauguration and formal launching of B.R.I.D.G.E. BSRC that the municipality of Bacuag, Surigao del Norte was awarded a Plaque of Commendation by PDEA Regional Office XIII thru its Surigao del Norte Provincial Office headed by IA V Randy T. Pulmano for having satisfactorily formulated a Drug-Free Workplace Program and for being the first LGU in Caraga region having conferred with said award for its exemplary governance in establishing and institutionalizing the Drug-Free Workplace Policy (DFWP).
