Continuously pursuing a massive infrastructure program for the development and welfare of Zamboanga and the residents, the city government will unveil yet today a number of projects for barangays Buenavista and Mangusu in the east coast.

Mayor Celso Lobregat together with members of the City Council and other city officials will personally and project contractors will personally turn over 6 projects to the Mangusu barangay headed by Chairman Bobby Pagsubiron and 2 projects to the Buenavista barangay headed by Chairman Haber Mating.

The 8 projects approximately cost almost P12 million, over P9 million of which are in Mangusu while almost P3 million are in Buenavista.

Topping the list of projects to be unveiled in Mangusu is the P4.18 million barangay hall; P2.2 million road concreting in Mangusu and four other projects that include the improvement of farm to market road at the national highway sitio-Bingcul road, improvement of farm to market road at Tamaraan-Punta Pamunawan and construction of fence with gate at the Mangusu Elementary School.

In Buenavista, the projects to be inaugurated and turned over include the construction/ improvement of farm to market road at Sitio Kagalaan costing P2.4 million and improvement of farm to market road at Basagan worth P499,415.

The massive implementation of infrastructure projects in the different barangays is made possible because of Lobregat’s sound fiscal management and in line with his thrust to improve and accelerate delivery of services to the people.

Just last Monday, Lobregat turned over 6 projects amounting to over P6 million to the barangay of Pasonanca. The newly-constructed barangay hall, which also houses the barangay health center, was one of the projects turned over. The barangay hall is a replica of the City Hall.

Lobregat has vowed to continuously pursue the implementation of projects in the barangays with the overriding goal of improving services to the people. (Sheila Covarrubias)
