by Vency D. Bulayungan

Lagawe, Ifugao (16 August) — After a long wait, the local government unit here announced that the community radio project is now ready for implementation after its test run last week.

Located at the second floor of the Municipal Hall building here, the community radio project shall be launched on Monday, August 17.

Mayor Ceasario Cabbigat here said that with the latest development, a Community Media Council and Station Management should be organized to oversee the implementation of the said project.

In partnership with the National Nutrition Council under the Nutriskwela Program, Tambuli Foundation, Catholic Media Station and the National Anti-Poverty Commission, the project is implemented with the LGU here and the Philippine Information Agency here as local partners.

Cabbigat is looking forward for the support of all sectors of the municipality for the success of this project which he deems an important tool in the development not only the municipality but the province as well.

Ifugao lacks communication facilities and aside from the FM radio station in the municipality of Alfonso Lista, this is the only radio station in this part of the province which can cater to the information needs of the people here and the adjoining municipalities. (PIA-Ifugao)
