Recognized as the most marginalized 4Ps zone of the Province of Davao del Norte, the DSWD municipal links and social workers extended their efforts to reach GIDAs (Geographically Isolated and Displaced Areas) despite the distance, rough terrain and danger of hostile armed forces.

Together in one mission to uplift the Indigenous People's socio-economic condition, LGU Talaingod, PLGU of DavNor, DepEd, 56th IB, PNP, TESDA, DOLE, DTI, DSWD and other partner agencies worked hand in hand to help the 86 IP families successfully graduate today.

In the ceremony, the Bankakaw Dance is also presented, a traditional Ata-Manobo thanksgiving dance for a bountiful harvest and any other occassion that needs celebrating. Thus, this day calls for a festive and meritus swing.
