P2.8M Baguio barangay projects inaugurated

BAGUIO CITY – At least P2.8 million worth of barangay infrastructure projects in this mountain resort city were recently inaugurated.

Rep Mauricio G. Domogan and Ireneo Gallato, district engineer of the Department of Public Works and Highways – Baguio City District Engineering Office, were joined by barangay officials and residents of San Antonio Village, Ambiong and East Bayan Park during the recent inauguration of the completed projects in their respective barangays.

In San Antonio Village, the DPWH-BCDEO implemented the repair of main alley from boundary down to barangay hall with railings and drainage amounting to P500,000. The project site is the main alley connecting San Antonio and Lopez Jaena barangay. The project involves the improvement of the drainage system and improvement of stairway and railings along the area for the convenience of the residents and visitors.

Gallato added the construction of road concrete canal, slope protection and pathways in Ambiong barangay amounting to P800,000 will greatly improve the convenience and lessen the travel time of the thousands of residents along the area to and from the central business district.

At the same time, the district engineer disclosed the project implementers were also able to complete the P1.5 million continuation of sewer line going to Purok 1 and 2 East Bayan Park barangay which will contribute in the improvement of the sewer system in the barangay.

The newly-constructed sewer line has been connected to the main sewer line of the city government which was constructed by the city environment management office (CEMO) to improve the sewerage disposal in some unserviced parts of the city.

Domogan said more barangay projects are yet to be implemented in the different barangays while some important projects are also set to be funded so that various concerns of the people which range from better infrastructure, more sources of livelihood, improved health services, more classrooms among others will be satisfactorily addressed. -- Dexter A.
