"TAGUMpay sa pamumuno, TAGUMpay sa Nutrisyon at Serbisyo"
Toward the pursuit of urbanization, moving towards industrialization and agriculture modernization, improvement in public sector productivity has gained incredible momentum in Tagum City over the years. It has always been Tagum City’s mission and commitment to pursue sustainable and inclusive growth and development by establishing highly competitive industries, accessible services and opportunities, to achieve a better quality of life for its people. The City Nutrition Committee (CNC) led by Lingkod Bayan Awardee Mayor Allan L. Rellon, is certain that behind this sustainable development is a strong human capital resource, which can only be achieved if there is nutrition security.
The City of People
Tagum City’s people-centered approach in a rather diverse set of population inspired the city government to be more innovative in uplifting the people’s quality of life. From education, employment programs, cultural preservation, agricultural support and disaster resiliency to improved social services and addressing malnutrition, this Galing Pook Awardee never fails its people. Under the TAGUMpay Works Program, the local government was recognized for its innovative job generation, livelihood monitoring, and education initiative mechanisms. The local government’s creation of a brand-new department, PEESO or Public Education and Employment Services Office, dubbed as a “first in the Philippines”, has been instrumental in effectively strengthening the link between education and employment.

The municipality of Maco in the province of Davao de Oro was once part of the municipalities of Tagum and Mabini before it was created as a separate entity some 50 years ago. The name Maco is derived from the word Mamacao or Maraco which means a big tree. The original settlers of Maco were said to be various tribes of the Mansakas which means first people to ascend the mountains or go upstream. These people are earth-bound and are self-sufficient, building houses inside the forest and clearing patches of land to plant vegetables and crops mainly for home consumption. This practice of self-sufficiency continues today with the implementation of the municipality’s nutrition program by the Municipal Nutrition Committee (MNC) led by their multi-degree holder Mayor Alvera Veronica Rimando.

Radio emerged as a tool of mass media from the very early days of its introduction in the later part of the nineteenth century. Quite surprisingly, even after more than a hundred years of its existence, and in the midst of remarkable advancements in the field of information and communication technologies, Radio still plays a pivotal role in the field of education in general, and distance education in particular. Apart from the developed countries, the developing countries all around have immensely benefitted from the use of Radio in the field of education. - Bhaskar Sarmah, 2017.
DepEd is presently exploring, developing and enhancing various modes of learning and teaching modalities in order to ensure continuity of providing quality education amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. IT also adheres to the fact that one way of achieving an enhanced learning environment and addressing dire shortage of resources in public schools in accessing distant learners is through the provision of educational multi-media modalities such as TV/Radio-Based Instruction for its projects and program advocacies, information, education and communication campaigns.
