Today, February 24, 2026, marks the official launch of the "Bambuhay: A Community-based Bamboo Livelihood Projectโ at the Barangay Nueva Fuerza Gym. This initiative is a joint effort between the Rotary Club of Tagum, the City Government of Tagum, and the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI).
The project aims to empower local residents by highlighting bamboo's economic potential as a sustainable resource for entrepreneurship and income generation.
The main goal of the event is to introduce barangay residents to the many ways bamboo can be used beyond its traditional applications. By turning this versatile material into high-value products, the project hopes to create a steady income stream for the community. Participants are encouraged to explore how raw bamboo can be transformed into profitable items, fostering a spirit of entrepreneurship and self-reliance at the barangay level.
This was made even more special by the presence of Area 2D Assistant Governor Gabriela Logronio, Nueva Fuerza Barangay Captain Wellie Arcayna, and our very own RC Tagum President, Engr. Jun Coquilla. We were also joined by Mr. Franz Gregory Naylon, the leading proponent who pushed this project into reality. Their support shows that when we work together, great things happen for our barangays.
With the support of the City Government, DTI's marketing expertise, and the Rotary Club's service-oriented mission, the Bambuhay Project offers residents a platform to boost their livelihoods. At the same time, this marks a significant step toward a greener, more prosperous future for Tagumenyos.
