 BALO-I, Lanao del Norte –  Bangsamoro Transition Authority (BTA) Member of the Parliament (MP) Said Shiek continues to strengthen its battle against the ongoing Covid-19 global health crisis with its awareness campaign program in this town, dubbed as Project Gonanao (Awareness) Ko Covid-19 (Project GKC19).

MP Shiek said this program initiative, in partnership with the Momungan Youth Action Network (MYAN), involves a series of month-long activities such as slogan-making, recorida, house-to-house distribution of pamphlets, short film making, and a community dialogue with select Balo-i residents and Covid-19 survivors. 

“Project GKC19 was created and successfully launched by our office and MYAN last August 21, with the aim to address prevalent issues arising in the community caused by Covid-19, to minimize its local transmission and to correct misconceptions and misinformation through awareness campaigns,” MP Shiek stressed. 

In a continuing activity on Monday, which was held at Balo-i satellite office, the team prepared printed copies of Covid-19 reminders to be posted on visible areas in the said locality. 

Volunteer Hayanie Solaiman expressed his thoughts in extending support to his fellow Bangsamoro. 

“Even though it was quite difficult since there are restrictions, I still managed to extend a helping hand. I understand there are many people who needed our help. Nothing can stop us from helping others in any way. I sincerely pray to Allah that this crisis would end immediately,” Solaiman said. 

The activity is conducted simultaneously alongside with Sagipa Ko Zabtun (Care for the Poorest of the Poor), which aims to aid most vulnerable individuals in the community by providing modest relief assistance under Modified General Community Quarantine (MGCQ).
