Celso turns over P5.6M projects to Vitali
Residents of Vitali on Saturday expressed elation and gratitude to the city government under the leadership of Mayor Celso Lobregat for the continuous and unabated support and assistance extended to their barangay.
This, as Mayor Celso Lobregat and members of the City Council turned over P5.6 million worth of infrastructure projects that have impact on the lives of the people in the area.
The projects unveiled one after the other were the slope protection at sitio Camino Nuevo worth P1.2 M; road concreting at Tindalo costing P1.5 M and construction of covered court worth P2.9 million.
Despite the distance and the unstable weather condition, Lobregat together with Councilors Cesar Iturralde, Nonong Guingona, Eddie Saavedra, Rey Candido, Lilia Nuno and Rudy Lim, motored to the far flung village to reassure the residents of the city government’s unrelenting aid to the residents.
Executive Assistant Percival Ramos and newly-appointed executive assistant on barangay affairs Mario Roca, also accompanied the mayor to Vitali.
Lobregat said more projects are expected to be implemented and eventually inaugurated in the barangay for the benefit of the over 8,000 residents.
The projects, he stressed are intended to accelerate the delivery of service to the people and at the same time to bring the government closer to the people.
Vitali barangay chairman Segundino Gregorio thanked the mayor and the city government for continuously looking after the concerns of the village, located some 83 kilometers east of the city.
Gregorio said his constituents are very grateful to the Lobregat administration, stressing that the projects will definitely help ameliorate the plight of the residents in the area.
The Lobregat administration has been undertaking a massive infrastructure program in line with the City Development Strategies.
Lobregat has been inaugurating projects, successively in different barangays. Last Monday, he unveiled a P5.9 million school building at the Maasin Learning Center. On July 17, he formally opened the Paseo del Jardin parkwalk in Pasonanca; on July 16, he inaugurated the P9.1 million Sta, Catalina road project and the P5.7million rehabilitated school building in Sta. Maria and on July 10, he unveiled the Paseo del Mar (former CDCP area).
A series of projects were also inaugurated early July in Cabatangan and Latuan and last month in Culianan—proof that the city government is continuously looking after the needs of the residents, as mandated under the law. (Sheila Covarrubias)
