Boholana receives national recognition: Carmen C. Cubrado
« on: June 11, 2007, 01:30:30 PM »
A Boholana from Pilar received a gets a trophy and national recognition as “Achiever in Public Service”. She is one of the seven individual awardees across the country and the only one from the Visayas.

The citation, a prestigious award handed out by the Government Service Insurance System (GSIS) in recognition of outstanding achievements in public service is the government pension fund provider’s way of commemorating 70 years of existence and continued public service.

Pilar Municipal Public Information Officer Gualberto Jaspe said Carmen C. Cubrado shared the stage with top GSIS officials and six other individual awardees and another seven government agencies in the ceremonies in Manila Friday.

Pilar Mayor Wilson Pajo said he is so proud that she has put Pilar in the limelight and said it is an honor that the town and all of Pilar share to the country.

For the 49 year-old widow left with the task of sending 5 sons through college, that award is enough motivation to push on.

Born to the hard life in the farming community of Cabacnitan Bilar in 1957, Cubrado has been exposed to patience, hard work and dedication.

Now, starting her day early by setting for breakfast at dawn, then rushing to tend her family rice farm in Lumbay and getting ready for the office at 8 as Municipal Agricultural Officer is no easy task.

But her simple ways and her faith in God has made her that way, Jaspe said.

“I believed in her capacity, capability and integrity as public servant”, he added.

Being the top agri-technician in the town, Cubrado was faced with a tough problem. Pilar, a prime agricultural town had a serious soil erosion problem due to age-old faulty farming practices.

Armed with a masters degree in agriculture from a nearby farmer training school, she immediately rolled her sleeves, introduced contour faming technologies and passionately passed on the skills. The town council was by her side and a local ordinance mandating the establishment of barangay demonstration farms institutionalized the move. Thus was born the Municipal Land Care Program, Jaspe said.

Seeing the vast plains needing irrigation to maximize production, she lobbied for the construction of an irrigation facility that was realized with the multi-million Malinao Dam in the town.

Still wanting to give her best and cascade all appropriate technologies, she used the Barangay Livestock Aides as her implementing arms and helpers in upgrading local livestock in the face of understaffed office.

She also established Farmer Field Schools, and even finds time to give technology lectures to neighboring towns on Saturdays and Sundays, Jaspe said.

Stretching the capacity of the land, she also advocated for maximized land yield as she introduced the “Rice Enhancement Compact Demonstration Farms,” which promoted awareness on the use of certified hybrid rice seeds.

Her efforts gave her enough credits to be named as one of the key persons responsible in helping improve the economic conditions of her community and her town.

Pilar Municipal officials however knew that she has something coming. Cubrado, was a antional niominee after sealing the Regional Civil Service Commission Dagal ng Bayan Award last year.

Sharing her in the limelight were DILG’s Rainalda C. Rafinan, Baguio General Hospital’s Pedro M. del Rosario, Baguio Alfonso Tabora Elementary School’s Gerry B. Baucan, La Union’s Aringay District school nurse Arelie C. Jacildo, Davao DSWDs Melecio Fernandez and Davao City’s DepEd Supervisor Ninie C. del Rosario.

GSIS also cited as Achievers in Public Service Award: the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas, the National Statistics Office, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the provincial government of Bulacan, the Jose Fabella Memorial School, the local government of Davao City, and the Mahalo Elementary School in Anahawan, Southern Leyte.
