What happens when a small barangay named after a native tree decides it’s time to grow—not just outward, but upward, inward, and forward?

Barangay Calumbuyan has just said yes to transformation, partnering with Solution Ecosystems Activator (SEA) Inc. through the IPAT-SIAD program—a long name for a big idea: real, people-powered change.

This isn’t your usual project launch. No buzzwords, no big stage. Just a shared belief: that real development starts with trust, participation, and purpose. That every barangay—no matter how small—holds the power to shape its own destiny.

The agreement was signed. Hands were shaken. But what truly stood out was the feeling in the air—hope. Not the loud kind, but the kind that settles deep in the soil and quietly begins to grow.

With Punong Barangay Evelyn Sorolla leading with steady strength, Calumbuyan is ready—not just to receive change, but to co-create it. With SEA Inc.’s support and a framework that listens before it leads, this barangay is stepping into a future built on shared wisdom, accountability, and heart.

This isn’t just a milestone—it’s a seed. And seeds, as we know, have a way of surprising us.

Here’s to Calumbuyan: rooted in purpose, growing with courage, and reaching, slowly but surely, for the sky.

Welcome to the movement.
