The Cagayan Valley Center for Health Development (CVCHD), in collaboration with the Provincial Government of Cagayan through the Provincial Health Office, successfully conducted the Ligtas Tigdas Regional-Provincial Kick-Off on August 10, 2026. The activity signaled a stronger regional and provincial commitment to intensify measles vaccination efforts, strengthen community awareness, and ensure that every eligible child receives timely protection against measles.
The activity was attended by representatives from various National Government Agencies (NGAs), including CVMC, DENR, DA, BIR, PDEA, BFP, DPWH, PSA, BJMP, CAAP, DSWD, DILG, and PNP, together with the Provincial DOH Office (PDOHO). Representatives from all 12 District Hospitals and all Rural Health Units (RHUs) in the Province of Cagayan also joined the activity, demonstrating a strong whole-of-government and whole-of-health-system approach. As part of the kick-off, health service delivery and vaccination was also provided by the Tuguegarao City Health Office and participating District Hospitals, bringing essential health services closer to the attendees and the community.
Adding color and inspiration to the celebration was the Little Mr. & Ms. Ligtas Tigdas Ambassador and Ambassadress, featuring young representatives from Aparri Provincial Hospital, Baggao District Hospital, Matilde A. Olivas District Hospital, Provincial Health Office (PHO), Tuao District Hospital, and Iguig Municipal Health Office (MHO). Their participation highlighted the very heart of the campaign our children and reminded everyone of the shared responsibility to keep them healthy, protected, and safe from vaccine-preventable diseases.
Through the Ligtas Tigdas Pledge of Commitment, participating agencies, health facilities, LGUs, health workers, and partners reaffirmed their commitment to seek, reach, and vaccinate every eligible child. The PGC-PHO, together with CVCHD and its partners, remains steadfast in working toward 100% coverage of eligible children in the Province of Cagayan, ensuring that no child and no community is left behind. Ligtas na Bata, Ligtas na Pamilya, Ligtas na Cagayan!
