DILG Region V, in its efforts to fulfill the initiatives under Executive Order No. 70, proudly presents BANÁ’AG: a three-part Support to Barangay Development Program (SBDP) Documentary Series capturing the journey of the FY 2021 SBDP beneficiary barangays in Bicol region towards sustainable peace and development.

BANÁ’AG, which translates to a beam of light in Bicolano dialect, attempts to shed light on the realities that the residents of the barangays in Geographically Isolated and Disadvantaged Areas (GIDAs) face in their everyday lives through three chapters entitled SÍRANG, LÁ’OM, and USWÁG.
In its first chapter, SÍRANG, we take a look back on how the government’s efforts transcended the call of public service by reaching out to the farthest of barangays in the region, like rays of sunlight reaching the ground as dawn breaks into the promise of a new day.

Meanwhile, LÁ’OM speaks of the residents’ hopes—hopes that were once shelved in the darkness, hopes that were once devoid of color. And now, the rays of light breathe life to these same hopes and illuminate their future while the sun reigns in its peak.

And lastly, there is USWÁG, where we share how these residents inch closer to their dreams of attaining lasting peace and development in their barangays.

With BANÁ’AG’s Pilot Episode, we bring you the story of Barangay San Antonio, Barcelona, Sorsogon.
