In a heartwarming display of solidarity and commitment to community development, the Local Government of Mauban, led by Mayor Ninong Erwin Pastrana, joined the Gawad Kalinga Bayani Challenge 2024 on July 17, 2024. The event, held at the PKM Covered Court, brought together local officials, Gawad Kalinga representatives, and community members in a shared mission to uplift the lives of those in need.

This commitment reflects the town’s unwavering dedication to fostering a spirit of bayanihan (community spirit) and working together towards a brighter future for all.

The Bayani Challenge 2024, themed “Tatak Bayani”, serves as a powerful platform for individuals and communities to embody the values of heroism, selflessness, and service. Through various volunteer activities and community engagement initiatives, participants are encouraged to make a positive impact on their surroundings.

By embracing the bayanihan spirit, the town is laying the foundation for sustainable progress and a thriving community.

As Mayor Pastrana aptly stated, “Nawa’y ang Bayani Challenge na ito ay magningas ng apoy ng pagbabago sa ating mga puso at komunidad, patunay na sa pagtutulungan at pagkakawanggawa, kaya nating makamit ang mga kahanga-hangang bagay” (May this Bayani Challenge ignite the fire of change in our hearts and communities, proving that through cooperation and compassion, we can achieve remarkable things).

The Bayani Challenge 2024 serves as a beacon of hope, reminding us of the transformative power of unity and collective action. Mauban’s unwavering commitment to this initiative is an inspiration to us all, demonstrating that even the smallest acts of kindness can make a world of difference.
