Barangayan brings govt services closer to people

GENERAL SANTOS CITY (24 March 2015) -  City Mayor Ronnel Rivera has conducted a Barangayan in Bawing in the presence of City Hall department heads and barangay officials to listen to and provide solution to existing problems in the area.

One of the major concerns - the increasing number of children who have no natal registration - was addressed by the Local Civil Registrar through the free processing and distribution of birth certificates during the same day.

The City Engineer's Office (CEO) assured Barangay Captain Jerry Jugarap that it will act on the latter's request to repair damaged roads in Bawing.

“We have three dump trucks as promised to the barangay. The repair will start by the second week of March," said Engr. Kits Provido, CEO head.

Provido also announced that the LED street lighting from airport to Bawing is expected to be installed on the third quarter of the year.

He added that the street lighting of the inner roads of the barangay is now being proposed through the Barangay Electrification Program amounting to P5 million.

Other concerns such as electrification, drainage, and additional livelihood programs were being taken into account by the department heads.

Immediate government services were also rendered to the residents of Bawing during the Barangayan such as free medical checkup and feeding program for malnourished children.

Mayor Rivera said the Barangayan is a program initiated by the Integrated Barangay Affairs to bring government services closer to the constituents of the city. (Gensan CPIO/ Gelay Himbing)
