 IT Coordinator Virgil Fuentes (rightmost) poses for posterity inside Maragusan CeC with Mayor Colina (3rd from left) and CeC staff Hon. Mayor Cesar C. Colina, Sr. gladly received the Community eCenter equipment package granted by the Philippine CeC Program to the Municipality of Maragusan, Compostela Valley Province on June 10, 2010. He gratefully acknowledged that the four computer sets, all-in-one printer and networking peripherals will greatly contribute to the enhancement of delivery of education and technology to the locality. One of the great privileges of my job is I get to visit places of nature. The package delivery proved to be once such amazing opportunity. Known as the summer capital of the region, Maragusan lies in nature haven. A two-hour ride from the provincial capital in Nabunturan traversing a rough, twisting and critical-to-negotiate road, going there is a real challenge to motorists. But in spite of the difficulty, tourists come to visit places of nature such as Tagbibinta Falls, Haven’s Peak, Aguakan Spring Resort, Kanlawig Hot Spring, just to name a few. |

 (L-R): Madalum Mayor Usman T. Sarangani Jr., NCC IT Coordinator for ARMM Arlyn Amores, and MPDC/CeC Manager Aladdin Pandapatan Madalum is a small municipality located along the mountainside of the province of Lanao del Sur. With its location between Lanao Lake and the dense forests of the province, plus the general image of ARMM, the municipality draws comparatively less visitors and development opportunities than other municipalities in Mindanao. Newly re-elected Mayor Usman Sarangani, Jr. is determined to change this and is slowly taking steps in fulfilling his development plans for the municipality. Foremost of these is the establishment of Madalum's own Community eCenter. Mayor Sarangani, who came to understand and appreciate the program during his participation in the IT Convergence Roadshow held in Cagayan de Oro last November 2009, urged the local government to peg the CeC as one of its priority projects for the year. |
