To fully recognize and formalize the health project for the Indigenous People of Binicalan in San Luis, national and local government agencies gathered on the Province-wide Project launch of the Indigenous People - Maternal, Neonatal and Child Health and Nutrition (IP MNCHN) project held at the Provincial Training Center, Gov. D.O. Plaza Government Center, Prosperidad last October 10.
Headed by the National Commission on Indigenous Peoples (NCIP) and United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), the members of Tagbuligan ku Banwaon Manobo daw Talaandig dini ta Adgawan (TagBaMaTaad) Ancestral Domain and other government agencies such as DepEd, Philippine Army, Philippine National Police, Department of Health, Provincial Health Office, Municipal Health office of San Luis, Media, PhilHealth, SP Nestor Corvera as representative of Provincial Government of Agusan del Sur and other IPs from different municipalities, witnessed and signed the IP MNCHN manifesto.

But day before the signing of the manifesto, Gov. Adolph Edward G. Plaza already signed the said document at the meeting with the IP MNCHN team.

The main goal of IP MNCHN is to give heath-related assistance on the pregnant women and its child after giving birth.


And one of the concerns they talked about is the lack of midwife on said area and in the province. Though currently the organization is sponsoring 5 midwifery grads on their review for the upcoming licensure exam and all of them came from San Luis but still this is not enough to compensate their number.

Thus, Gov. Plaza assures that midwifery will be included to the covered courses for the Provincial Scholarship program, so that all the women will be safe in times of their pregnancy and delivery.
The said project is also aligned to the Joint Memorandum Circular No. 2013-01 “Guidelines on the Delivery of Basic Health Services for Indigenous Cultural Communities/Indigenous People” signed by the Secretaries of Department of Health (DOH), National Commission on Indigenous Peoples (NCIP) and Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG).

In which, it will have a very big support from these three national departments and will strongly implemented.

All the participating agencies showed their support by expressing their commitments to the people on the conference hall.

And IP MNCHN will start next year and will run until 2016. But the team assures that they will not stop their health services assistance even after 2016.

Binicalan is a remote barangay in the municipality of San Luis and compose of 24 sitios. It is already a boundary between Agusan del Sur and Bukidnon. The ancestral domain existing on that barangay is covered by the Canti 7079 headed by Datu Mambyahe Mansulonay.

 “To pray for Agusan del Sur. To be part of the change in our Province..There is no Age, no Religion. Let’s ask God to bless Agusan del Sur..” Mrs. Riza Cano Lopez’ prophetic gestures during the 9th Hugyaw tu Agusan held last June 8, 2013 at the Naliyagan Cultural Center, Gov. D.O.P. Government Center Prosperidad, Agusan del Sur.

Mrs. Lopez declaring her Prophetic Gestures to more than 800 Agusanon Youth that gathered during the 9th Hugyaw Tu Agusan

Mrs. Lopez added that the most important part of Hugyaw lies beyond the wonderful dance or band presentations or meeting new friends - it is to come together and pray for our Province. “We will not stop praying until the Lord makes Agusan del Sur a praise on the Earth.”, she proclaimed taking it from Isaiah 62:6-7.

Two (2) young Agusanon’s also shared about how blessed they are for being part of this Spirit-filled gathering of all Agusanon youth. Ms. Jan Rubillos from the Municipality of Esperanza declared “Nothing is Impossible for God”. Her experience as part of the service team of the said event made her witness that indeed Religion is not a barrier for everyone to unite and witness for the same God that we praise. Wenna Banez, the second sharer was inspired on how Agusanon youth uses their talents and skills for the Glory of God.

























Ms Jam Rubillos, one of the Sharers during the 9th Hugyaw Tu Agusan Celebration!

This year’s theme is “I Witness” which is taken from Acts 1:8. Every Agusanon is called to be a witness and that means everyone should put faith into action. During the gathering, a Christian prayer was said in Manobo not only reminding us of our roots as Agusanons but to continue to root ourselves in Christ.

While the whole Provincial Government of Agusan del Sur is very busy in its preparations for the Naliyagan Festival, different youth groups from the 13 Municipalities and 1City of our province are gathering to prepare for the Hugyaw tu Agusan 2013!

Hugyaw which is translated into English means “shout”. It means shouting our praise and thanksgiving to God. The event invites all Agusanon, especially the youth, to join together in prayer and worship for the blessings received for the past year and to welcome another year with overflowing faith and hope.

Organizers come from different religious affiliation which is a living proof that we all should be united knowing that we all serve the same God.  Around 1,000 people are expected to join the said celebration which will be on June 8, 2013 from 1:00-7:00 PM. Aside from the mentioned goals, it is also an opportunity for the young agusanon to build friendship and build one another for the future of our province. The youth will always be the hope of our nation.

This year’s theme is “I Witness” which is inspired from the Book of Acts 1:8:  "But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”. It is a call for everyone to witness and proclaim the love of God to each of us.
