MAITUM, Sarangani (March 5, 2009) – A Tboli mother in Kipalkuda (now barangay New La Union) receives a P10,000 check Thursday, March 5, from Mayor Elsie Perrett assisted by barangay captain Digs Movilla as Vice Governor Steve Chiongbian Solon looks on. The fund comes from the provincial government for calamity-stricken households in the barangay. Kipalkuda is a native term which means “horse crossing the river” since the village has many small rivers and horses as their means of transportation. (SARANGANI INFORMATION OFFICE/Cocoy Sexcion)
