Helping the less privilege like our early settlers is one of the top priorities of the present administration under the leadership of Mayor Rey T. Uy.
Spearheaded by Datu Rudy T. Onlos, The Tagum City Federation of Barangay Tribal Council Incorporated was formally established and organized way back 2002. From the initiative and deep concern of Vice Mayor Allan Rellon, he organized the first ever One (1) Day free dental. pre-natal, circumcision, medical check-up and minor operations dubbed as, "Handog para sa mga tipanod (original settler) with the cooperation of 1001st Infantry (PAG-ASA) Brigade / 10th Infantry (AGILA) Division Phil Army, A.O. Floirendo Foundation Inc., City Health Office, National Commission on Indigenous People (NCIP), and CAO/PESO Office last March 28, 2007 at Tagum City Freedom Park.
The City Tribal Council and its members were grateful for the undying support of our Local Government Unit, most specially for providing social services that caters about 500 tribal beneficiaries during the medical mission.
Along this line, it only proves that the dominant tribe of this city is near to the heart of the present administration. They vitalized our plights and aspirations, enrich our lives, uphold our rights and increase the power of alacrity. Touching one heart of the Lumads in a manner of giving unusual treatment will somehow contribute satisfaction to all tribal communities. Even a simple "hi" will make us contented, a reason why we are distinct to one another.
To all those in one way or another have contributed to realize our dreams, A MILLION THANKS! No words can explain how happy and lucky we are.
