The City government of Tagum through the City Council adopted the Minimum Basic Needs (MBN) approach to strategically eradicate poverty and supplement people’s need. Each member of the city council help each other and share resources by identifying first the needs of the constituents and thereby meeting the needs of the residents.
Many problems were identified such us, unemployment, lack of education, lack of access to potable water, absence of a compost pit, poor school and office facilities, inability of children to get pre-school education in day care centers, malnutrition, having households without backyards, lack of toilets, and inability of couples to practice family planning and many others.
Armed with this information, City Councilor Mylene Baura earnestly help barangay constituents to provide what they need. Proper assessment and validation for each solicitation thereby creating MBN projects that would fulfill the necessities. Different Barangays were served with the following projects as of Year 2009. Such as
1. Magugpo North Day Care Center – One (1) TV and One (1) DVD
2. Magugpo Pilot Imelda Elem School – (1) TV
3. Barangay Magdum – One (1) Nebulizer
4. Tuition fee for the Hearing Impaired Students
5. Barangay Nueva Fuerza – (12) Monoblock Chairs
6. Purok Liwayway – (20) Monoblock Chairs
7. Municipal Trial Court – (1) Printer

10. Barangay Bincungan – Twenty (20) Monoblock Chairs

On the other hand, in response to the growing cases of Violence committed against women and their children, the Four L (4) Lady Local Legislator’s League of the Philippines headed by Kgd. Baura together with its working force from the CSWD Office lead by Nora H. Lupiba, City DILG Director Eliza P. Mendoza and the Tagum PNP forefronted by P/INSP Gretchen R. Sinco and SPO3 Anjenette Tirador formed a synergy with its advocacy program, Stop Cylcle of Violence to help address the said problem. Ignorance of the law excuses no one, a statement that we should always remember, SP Baura significantly emphasized the role and rights of women and their children in the family, any form of violence is not acceptable to the society thus proper information dessimination is the primary objective of the working group to eliminate hostility and in order to have a harmonious relationship. A total of 10 barangays were already conducted up to present starting on March 2009 marked as Women’s Month and will continue its advocacy program to recognized women as full and equal partners of men in development and nation building.
