Dear Mrs. Turner,

The Provincial Government of Sarangani being committed to reduce the poverty incidence in the province is working towards convergence to get all available resources necessary to uplift the quality of life of the majority, if not all, of its constituents.

The DokVice Project of this office is among the implementer of such strategies aiming to alleviate poverty and socio-economic development. Its eprimary focus is on 1) community health and sanitation so that Sarangans can function efficiently and work productively; 2) empowering the children and youth as we aim to prepare them to lead the next generations effectively; 3) women empowerment, specifically those on the reproductive group who are now referred to by the United Nations on its study as the “Human Resource Specialist”, that is to help make their contribution in the society become visible through capability enhancement on entrepreneurship. You may find in the attached file the specific interventions/services of this project.

To further give an insight about the DokVice Project, a get together activity is being prepared on May 17, 2017, 9:00AM at SUNCITY SUITES, National Highway, Lagao, General Santos City. It is dubbed as “KASTIFUN DI DATAL”, a Blaan phrase which means coming together for a fellowship, to celebrate or an assembly for a common cause. It aims to present the project and discuss areas for possible collaboration with you knowing that your company is a frontliner in advancing your own Corporate Social Responsibility programs. We are certain that we both are heading to the same goal of influencing positive changes in the lives of our fellowmen and the country as a whole.

It is at this juncture that we are very pleased to invite you to be with us on this groundbreaking event.

For more inquiries and confirmation, please contact Ms. Ruth Salip, Partnership and Linkaging Staff at 0909-952-7647(Smart) or 0935-705-0269(Touch Mobile).

Your presence will be highly appreciated and anticipated. Let us build better communities together and achieve more for the consequent development of our country.

In public service,

ELMER T. DE PERALTA, MD.
Vice Governor
