Moalboal is a famous tourist destination for its white sand beaches and rich biodiversity across a pristine underwater seascape. It is also at the heart of the seventh district of Cebu and is quickly developing to accommodate the growth in visitors.
This is why municipal officials and employees find the district’s Integrated Area Development (IAD) program for the seventh district as a way to integrate the town’s development and consider the plans of neighboring towns.
To introduce the Integrated Area Development program of the Ramon Aboitiz Foundation Inc. (RAFI-IAD), the IAD team conducted a two-day team building and action planning workshop last February 22 to 23, 2018 in the town.
“The other towns in the district see Moalboal’s rapid growth, that’s why we should share our blessings with our neighbors. I hope that this activity will help the participants learn more for the future development of our town,” said Mayor Inocentes “Titing” Cabaron in his opening message.
During the activity, participants undertook various challenges where they had to work together as a team to complete. After each challenge, they identified the most important characteristics of a team that would be needed for the municipality officials and employees to address challenges in their work.
The IAD program was also presented to the participants to give them a deeper understanding of the program and its future activities. Rep. Peter John D. Calderon (Cebu, 7th district) introduced the program and mentioned that RAFI will facilitate the process, while he and the officials of the district’s eight municipalities commit to working for the district’s development.
The activity was the last to be conducted among the eight municipalities in the district. The municipal focal teams will next begin to gather data in preparation for the district-wide visioning and branding workshops.
The Integrated Area Development Program of the Ramon Aboitiz Foundation, Inc. (RAFI-IAD) provides Local Government Units (LGUs) with technical assistance towards socio-economic development.
