The barangays Sohoton in Calape and La Victoria in the town of Carmen were the first and second barangays in Bohol respectively conducted by the HEAT-IT Medical Dental Agri-Caravan and Hand Over this year in line with the Countryside Development Program-Purok Power Movement (CDP-PPM).

In barangay La Victoria, Renerio Makinano, representative of Gov. Edgar M. Chatto explained that the conduct of HEAT-IT Agri-Caravan showed that the barangay folks are close to the heart of the provincial government that brings services down to the households at the purok levels.
Makinano cited the accomplishments of Gov. Chatto in his 38 years of public service. Chatto was president of the Kabataang Barangay (KB); became mayor, vice-governor, congressman in the first district and governor, public service centered and anchored for the development of the province.
He mentioned some Republic Acts authored by Chatto such as: Tourism Act, Agricultural Modernization Act and an act making Central Visayas State College of Agriculture Forestry and Technology (CVSCAFT) into Bohol Island State University (BISU) among other laws.
Makinano thanked 3rd District Cong. Arthur Yap, Mayor Ricardo Francisco A. Toribio, Vice Mayor Romeo C. Bigay Jr., Barangay Captain Quirino Aparicio, barangay officials and the barangay folks for their continued support to the provincial government in bringing peace and development in the town of Carmen.

They said the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) and the Philippine National Police (PNP) are one with the provincial government’s efforts geared towards peace and development.
Barangay Captain Aparicio in his welcome message and Kagawad Jaime Manila in his closing statement thanked the PGBh for bringing the free services and turning over of goods to the barangay.
La Victoria through Captain Aparicio was the recipient of seven carabaos, one unit of hand tractor with trailer and 100 pieces of bolos.

The CDP-PPM implementation that brings goods and free services to the people down to the purok level cannot be stopped.

Quirog said the program has already been institutionalized and has become a byword of the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) in delivering goods and services to the people because the approach being used is very effective.
