Philippine Institute of Alternative Health Care Tuguegarao, BIDANI UPLB are invited as
resource persons/facilitators for the planning. After a series ofplanning workshops facilitated by
university officials, it is expected that a Barangay Integrated Development Plan (BIDP) is
formulated and presented to municipal officials and other government agencies. This is a way of
getting commitments as well as strengthening linkage with them. Projects that are approved in
these processes are expected to become more implementable and sustainable.

The college believes that Stakeholder Engagement is an important discipline that is used
to win support from others. It helps ensure the attainment of the successful project outcome. The
benefits of stakeholder involvement in the planning process include a reduction in distrust of the
project process or outcome, an increase in commitment to the project objectives and processes,
and heightened credibility of the project's outcome.

Barangay officials, community leaders, direct beneficiaries were involved during
the planning and identification of projects and activities to be implemented in their
respective communities. The community and/or the recipients of project deliverables
were also involved in the monitoring and evaluation of such activities. Results of which
served as an input for the reformulation of another set of plans.

The community, especially the adopted ones, served as a social laboratory for
students. As such, it provides an opportunity for students to immerse themselves in
the real-life scenario thereby making learning more authentic, relevant, and concrete.
