The following are the positive
views rendered by each group:
BARANGAYS:

The UBAS will serve as an

avenue for a good start for the
barangay and church to work
together harmoniously;

UBAS will formalize the

existing
good
working
relationship
between
the
church and the barangays.
Some barangays cited the
example of working with the
church in addressing the issues on solid waste management, traffic
management in the barangays, regular water clean-up, among others;
UBAS will revive the spirit of the traditional Filipino Bayanihan; and
They are willing to be partnered with the Ministry on Ecology.

CHURCH:

They
now
realized
their
important
participation during barangay assembly sessions and
Barangay Development Council;

They welcomed this initiative of the DILG and

committed their full support in the program;

They confirmed on the existence of various

programs in some barangays where the church and
barangays are closely working with. With UBAS
program, they will formalize the partnership; and

With
Bishop
Broderick
Pabillo,
they
committed that the program will be taken up in their
council.

RCAM Ministry on Ecology:

They are looking for commonalities where they can be

of help.
Sharing of resources is important in this undertaking.
On the questions on the programs where impacts of
engagement can be demonstrated, the DILG suggested some
programs where barangays and church can work with, such as
livelihood program, voter education especially this season that
election is approaching, anti drug abuse program, ISF concerns,
solid waste management, among others. Counter-parting of
resources from stakeholders was highlighted in the discussion.
Participants identified that the next critical steps after the
launching are the Organization of TWG and Action teams and Orientation and Action
Planning Workshop.
After the Open Forum, a RESPONSE from DILG-Makati was given, followed by
a PLEDGE OF COMMITMENT of Barangay and Church delegates and SIGNING OF

concept of the
