If there’s one thing Barangay Tag-oyango proves, it’s that a community doesn’t have to choose between practicality and vision—they can have both. Their recent strategic planning session wasn’t just another meeting stuffed with charts and signatures. It was a full-scale declaration: Tag-oyango is ready for the future, and they’re doing it with heart.

With guidance from SEA-Sibagat staff, the community produced a plan that reads like a wish list—and then some. Concrete bridges? Check. New street roads, a water station, and even a farm road? Absolutely. Education initiatives, from ICT literacy programs to a fortified school fence? Done. And that’s just the start.

What makes this plan remarkable is that it doesn’t stop at infrastructure. Tag-oyango is thinking about its people: mental health awareness, good governance training, and a youth symposium tackling cyberbullying are all part of the agenda.

They’re building not just roads, but resilience. Not just classrooms, but character.

And because they understand that life is more than work and worry, they’ve even scheduled an “Undas Celebration Maskarade Ball.” Yes, this community knows how to balance responsibility with joy—and in doing so, sets a model for others.

Tag-oyango’s strategic plan is more than a document; it’s a statement. It’s proof that communities can plan ambitiously, inclusively, and creatively all at once. In a world where short-term thinking often wins, Tag-oyango is daring to design its future—and frankly, we could all take a page from their book.
