The KKDK - CBRDP feedbacking sessions were conducted last November 5 and 7 at the Super Health Center, providing an opportunity for program implementers and staff to review the progress of the Community-Based Rehabilitation and Development Program (CBRDP). During the sessions, participants engaged in discussions to identify accomplishments, address challenges, and clarify areas that require further improvement. The open and collaborative exchange of insights helped enhance coordination and ensure that program strategies remain aligned.

This feedbacking activity underscores the importance of continuous monitoring and reflection in delivering quality community-based rehabilitation services. Guided by shared commitment and teamwork, the group remains dedicated to improving program implementation and ensuring more responsive and effective support for its beneficiaries.

Last November 29, 2025, the Department of Fire Protection (DFP) Initao conducted a comprehensive fire and earthquake drill at the Super Health Center in Kamelon. The activity aimed to strengthen the readiness of staff and nearby community members by ensuring that proper safety measures and emergency responses are clearly understood and effectively practiced.

Participants were trained on evacuation procedures, fire response techniques, and essential steps to take during an earthquake. Through guided demonstrations and hands-on simulations, the drill helped build confidence, awareness, and quick decision-making—skills that are crucial in protecting lives during real emergencies.

We extend our appreciation to the DFP team for their commitment to promoting safety and disaster preparedness. Their expertise greatly contributed to enhancing the facility’s readiness and resilience. With continued collaboration and training, we move closer to building a community that is alert, prepared, and disaster-resilient.

Bloodletting Activity

Last November 6, 2025, a successful bloodletting activity was conducted at the Poblacion Fire Station, Initao—an initiative spearheaded by Barangay Poblacion, in partnership with RHU Initao and with the valuable assistance of NMMC. The activity brought together volunteers and health partners with one purpose: to help ensure an adequate and safe blood supply for patients who may urgently need it.

Throughout the event, donors were guided through proper screening, safe blood collection, and post-donation care. The strong participation of the community reflected a shared commitment to saving lives and supporting those undergoing medical emergencies, surgeries, or long-term treatments. Every unit of blood collected represents hope, proof that small acts of kindness can create a significant impact.

Team Building Retreat (LGU Initao: MHO, MEO, MAO)

The joint team building of the Municipal Health Office (MHO), Municipal Engineering Office (MEO), and Municipal Agriculture Office (MAO) held last November 13–14, 2025 at Mt. Pines Spring Resort, Dahilayan, Bukidnon provided an opportunity for staff to step back from daily responsibilities and reconnect in a meaningful way. The serene environment offered a much-needed space to pause, reflect, and breathe.

Through structured team building activities, collaborative games, and shared moments of bonding, the activity reinforced the importance of communication, mutual support, and collective strength. It also highlighted how teamwork becomes more effective when each member feels mentally supported, valued, and understood. This is to remind us that caring for our wellbeing is essential to serving the community well.

This two-day experience renewed our sense of purpose and strengthened our commitment to fostering a healthier, more supportive workplace. As we return to our respective offices, we carry with us a deeper appreciation for unity, resilience, and mental wellness — foundations that empower us to continue our work with clarity, compassion, and motivation.

Ang RHU Initao team nagpahigayon og PICT (Provider-Initiated Counseling and Testing) alang sa mga Persons Deprived of Liberty (PDL) sa Provincial Jail Initao atong October 10, 2025. Kini nga aktibidad nagtinguha nga mahatagan og hustong HIV education, counseling, ug testing aron mapalambo ang kahibalo ug kahimsog sa matag usa. Importante nga bisan asa nga lugar, ang kahimsog ug kahibalo kabahin gihapon sa ilang katungod.

Mainiton nga among nadawat ang kooperasyon ug partisipasyon sa mga PDL nga andam maminaw ug motabang sa kalihokan. Dako kini’g tabang sa pagprotekta sa ilang kaugalingon ug sa uban.

Dako among pasalamat sa Provincial Jail Management ug sa tanang PDL sa ilang maayong pagdawat ug suporta.

Purok Kalusugan sa Sitio Mahayag, Sinalac, Initao, Misamis Oriental
October 9, 2025

Dili babag ang kalayo ug kalisod sa dalan alang sa serbisyo! 💪 Ang RHU Initao team mi-adto gyud sa pinakalas nga sitio sa Sinalac, Sitio Mahayag, aron dad-on ang Purok Kalusugan ngadto sa mga residente nga layo sa sentro.

Dako kaayo among kalipay nga bisan sa kakapoy ug kainit, mainiton gihapon ang pagdawat sa mga lumulupyo. Nakahatag kami ug health education, Philhealth profiling, ug na-blood sugar test. Kini nga kalihokan nagpahinumdom nga ang serbisyo sa katawhan dili lang kutob sa lugar nga sayon duolon, apan labaw pa sa tanan sa mga lugar nga mas nanginahanglan atensyon ug paglaum.

Salamat sa suporta sa Barangay Sinalac officials ug sa tanang nitabang sa kalihokan. Ang among pagpaningkamot usa ka paalaala nga bisan unsa pa ka lisod ang agianan, basta para sa kahimsog sa katawhan sa Initao, padayon ra gihapon ang serbisyo!

Tulay Co-Design Session 3 was a meaningful step forward as we gathered once again to build stronger connections for the community. This session focused on collaboration, creativity, and collective vision—bringing together different voices to ensure the program truly serves its purpose. Everyone’s insights played a vital role in shaping a plan that is both inclusive and impactful.

One of the highlights of this session was the development of strategies on how to spread awareness and share information about the Tulay program. From brainstorming communication channels to crafting relatable messages, the group worked on practical yet innovative ways to reach more people. The energy and passion in the room showed how much each participant values the importance of this initiative.

As we move forward, we carry with us the commitment to make Tulay not just a program, but a bridge that connects opportunities, hope, and empowerment.
