CONDITION OF THE AREA PRIOR TO THE
PROGRAM
 BIRTH OF THE PROGRAM
With the unpeaceful condition of the capital town of the province, THE
KALINGA BODONG CONGRESS in 1989 declared barangays BULANAO
AND DAGUPAN as matagoan or zone of life.

BODONG- PEACE PACT BETWEEN TWO TRIBES- The peace pact

are bonded by the PAGTA OR THE BILATERAL AGREEMENT
ENTERED BETWEEN TWO TRIBES.
MATAGOAN IS COINED FROM THE WORDS TAGO WHICH MEANS
PERSON OR HUMAN BEING AND MATAGO WHICH MEANS TO
LIVE.
However, the declaration was merely a piece of paper as there was no
structure to pursue its objective. Neither the intervention of OPAPP in
conducting a MATAGOAN CONGRESS in 1999 achieved much.
