COTABATO CITY—Office of the Chief Minister’s (OCM) Project Tulong Alay sa Bangsamorong Nangangailangan (TABANG) distributed 473 cows across the Bangsamoro region on the auspicious occasion of Eid’l Adha, June 28, bringing joy and relief to 15,000 deserving families.
Project TABANG, known for its commitment to social assistance, aims to extend support to vulnerable families during the Eid celebration thru Qurbani meat distribution.
The distribution of cows is a significant part of this annual initiative, symbolizing the importance of communal sharing and the values of sacrifice cherished by Muslims.
Datu Serhan Badal, the Head of the Humanitarian Services Unit of Project TABANG, emphasized the significance of this activity, stating, “Ito ‘yong pwede pa nating maitulong sa mga tao sa panahon ng Eid, na mayroon silang mapagsaluhan sa kani-kanilang pamilya.”
“Ito na rin yung way ng BARMM government na ipakita sa kanila ang kahalagahan ng aktibidad na ito sapagkat tayo, bilang Muslim, kung gusustuhin natin at kaya natin ay kailangang makapag-Qurban tayo,” he added.
Johair Madag, village chief of Brgy. Poblacion II, expressed his gratitude to the Bangsamoro Government for providing meat to the needy families on the occasion of Eid.
“Maraming maraming salamat sa Project TABANG para sa binigay ninyong baka para aming mga residente. Maraming maraming salamat sa BARMM Government…damang dama naming mga residente ang inyong pagmamahal sa amin. Kahit papaano, iyong mga resident namin ay may pang-Qurban ngayong Eid’l Adha,” he said.
Through the distribution of cows, Project TABANG aims to alleviate the economic burdens faced by families in need, ensuring they can partake in the spirit of Eid.
Project TABANG reaffirms its dedication to improving the lives of the Bangsamoro people and fostering a sense of unity and compassion among the community. (Aisah Abas/BIO)
