  CIVIC CONSCIOUSNESS AND CULTURAL DEVELOPMENT

The SDP also aims to promote harmony and cooperation among host municipalities and CBK management. Hence, support through provision of several community-related seminars as well as activity participation are always on the list of this program.  The latest among these projects were the donation of construction materials used on the repair of Bakia Barangay Hall damaged brought about by Typhoon GLENDA and donation of cement bags used on the repair of pathwalk going up to Barangay Burol, both in the Municipality of Majayjay.
