BE PART OF OUR JOURNEY!

Since our organization's establishment, we have sponsored events, trainings, seminars, and programs that benefit the community in Siargao. One of our upcoming events is the 3rd Kumbati Boodle Fight setup competition on September 19th, which is an annual event in line with the fiesta celebration of the municipality of General Luna, promoting local food tourism to the world.

The events we have sponsored, hosted, initiated, and organized would not be possible without the collective efforts of our members, patrons, and major and minor sponsors who have generously supported these programs and activities.

As a token of our appreciation, we have created a souvenir program to showcase SITGOA's past initiatives. This is also to encourage potential future sponsors and patrons to support our cause and become part of our journey to help uplift the quality of life in our community.

SITGOA attends PH-US VFA Tempest Wind 2024 Forum

Dapa, Siargao โ€“August 16, 2024. The Town Hall Forum was held at the Siargao Convention Center, gathering stakeholders from the Municipality of Dapa and General Luna. The forum focused on the upcoming Tempest Wind 2024 program aimed at enhancing the island's preparedness in countering terrorism.

The event served as a crucial platform for disseminating essential information about the PH-US Visiting Forces Agreement (VFA) and its integration with the Tempest Wind 2024 exercise. Local officials, community leaders, and representatives from various sectors attended to gain insights into the strategic importance of these efforts and their impact on the community's safety.

Held at the Siargao Convention Center, the forum featured presentations from PNP of Dapa and General Luna, providing an overview of the Tempest Wind 2024 program and its role in strengthening local and national security measures. Attendees were briefed on the collaborative efforts between the Philippines and the United States under the VFA, which plays a pivotal role in the region's defense strategies.

The discussions also highlighted the importance of community involvement in ensuring the success of counter-terrorism measures. Stakeholders were encouraged to actively participate in preparedness activities, including emergency response drills and intelligence sharing, to enhance the overall security posture of the island.

As the Tempest Wind 2024 program draws near, the forum underscored the need for continued collaboration and vigilance within the community. The PNP, LGU Dapa and LGU General Luna reaffirmed their commitment to working closely with local stakeholders to ensure the safety and security of our island, specifically the two key municipalities for tourism and trade, namely Dapa and General Luna.
