DAGDAG DUNONG PROGRAM
Academic Enhancement
Academic Enhancement is part of Dagdag Dunong Program of Tabang Kariton. It aims to develop Mathematical and Communication Skills of its recipients. It has been observed that elementary pupils and high school students face difficulty in Mathematics, English and Filipino. Most of the recipients of the said program had lower grades in the subjects which prompted Tabang Kariton to conduct sessions and remedial classes during weekends to help them perform well in school.
The outcome of the program has made a tremendous effect in the performance of the recipients because not only have they acquired good grades in school but also they became more confident young individuals.
Christian Values Formation
Since the project initiator is a devoted Catholic and an active member of his church, it has been his advocacy to influence the youth to nurture their spirituality. He believes that the key to a progressive community is the moral and spiritual conscience of its citizens. If an individual fulfills his moral obligations to his fellowmen and his spiritual responsibility to his church, he definitely becomes a better member of the society.
Health Education
“The health of the people is the wealth of the nation.”
It is for this adage that Tabang Kariton initiated the program, Health Education. Through this program people are made aware of the importance of health in achieving a quality life style. It is also a health campaign program which aims to educate the community of the danger of certain diseases that threaten the lives of many.
Activities such as Dental missions, Story Telling and Health Talks and Advocacy Campaigns are parts of Health Education program. Initiators of the said program are composed of individuals from different sectors.
Blood Donation Campaign (Tabang ko, Dugo ko)
Blood donors were often scarce in a small town like Masbate. It was due to the fact that many were misinformed of the necessity of donating blood.
Tabang Kariton, in partnership with Philippine Red Cross initiated a Blood Donation Campaign which is held twice in a year to help people specifically those who are in critical condition and in need of blood transfusion. The campaign advocates the benefits of donating blood with the aid of the local media.
Road Safety Education
Accidents can be avoided if people are educated of proper road safety measures. This program aims to impose discipline among motorists and vehicle owners since for the past years it was proven that many road accidents occurred due to reckless driving, and oftentimes, the man on the wheels is not old enough to acquire a driver’s license.
Tabang Kariton ensured that even parents of these teenagers were present during the conduct of the program to inform them that they bear responsibility on their children’s actions and behaviors. The said program imposed to the public that everyone has the duty to follow traffic rules.
It may be impossible to achieve a zero percent on vehicular accidents but the program at least helped lessen the rate.
Gender and Development
Considered as one of the most talked about issues today, Gender Equality, recognizes the rights of women and children. Tabang Kariton also advocates gender awareness and educates the people on the importance of everyone in achieving national solidarity.
Cultural Heritage Education
Masbate is rich in culture and tradition and from among the many attractions of the Province, the Lapay Bantigue Festival is its most unique offering because of its lively dance steps that capture the hearts of both local and international tourists.
In promoting Masbate Culture, Tabang Kariton has featured the story of the creator of Lapay Bantigue. Through its Story Telling Sessions, children were educated of the importance of Lola Felisa’s works in the history of Masbate and how should the Lapay Bantigue Festival be promoted to attract tourists and at the same time investors in the province. Through the program, recipients have also discovered their pride for their hometown and encouraged to promote Masbate in their own little ways.
Tabang Kariton sa DYME TV Radyo
Part of the Tabang Kariton’s project is the information dissemination through radio and television broadcast. Because this project believes that informing the public about certain social issues must become everyone’s duty. Through the broadcast, activities of Tabang kariton are brought directly to the people so that they will have a full understanding of the project visions and at the same time, they will be also encouraged to extend help to the needy.
