The Bataan Peninsula State University (BPSU) has teamed up with the provincial government for the implementation of a barangay-based project.
The Bataan Barangay Resilience Project was conceptualized under the leadership of BPSU president Dr. Ruby Matibag acting as university extensionists coach and mentor of barangay officials for the resiliency program.
The University Resilient Center (UNRC) headed by director Kristine Ortega oversees the training and deployment of the extensionists to the barangays.
The BPSU Office of Extension and Training Services headed byDr. Bernadeth Gabor monitored and evaluated the performance of extensionists, and provided funding for the project.
The Extensionists are primarily tasked to evaluate the barangays’ resilience efforts using the Barangay Resilience Bingo Scorecard (BRBS), a tool adopted by the provincial government for the Bataan Barangay Resilience Project. .
They evaluate barangays for their disaster risk reduction and management initiatives and how ready to handle various challenges posed by climate change and natural disasters.
