Kiamba No. 1

KIAMBA, Sarangani (October 28, 2008) – Villagers of barangay Tamadang join Mayor Rom Falgui (extreme right), barangay chair and tribal chieftain Rudy Tagum (middle) and former DENR undersecretary Francisco Bravo (3rd from right) in yelling "Kiamba Number One" during the groundbreaking of two-kilometer Tamadang–Falel farm-to-market-road (FMR) and seven-kilometer Falel–Datal Bong FMR Monday, October 27. The project is a joint effort by the local government and the United States Government through the Visiting Forces Agreement. Just recently, the T'boli community received three portable abaca stripping machines from the local government in partnership with the Philippine Environmental Governance (EcoGov) project. Sitio Falel is a two-kilometer uphill trek from Tamadang proper, with Tboli villagers who depend on abaca production as their source of living. (Photo by Ray Daniel/KIAMBA NEWS & INFO CENTER)
