TAGUM CITY, May 7 (PIA) —Drumming up the call to revive the spirit of volunteerism down to the grassroots level, the city government here is spearheading a massive bayanihan across the city which will be participated by all puroks in the 23 barangays here.
Set on May 14 this year, the synchronized one-day civic action is focused on cleanliness drive aimed specifically on de-clogging the canals and drainage systems in the purok level, as well as cleaning vital areas in the puroks across the city.
This initiative is an offshoot of the “Bayanihan sa Kapurokan” launched last May 3, 2014 at the Tagum City Pavilion thatb was attended by all the purok leaders of the city.
The bayanihan that will be focused on drainage-cleaning is an immediate mitigation response to problems on flooding, especially so that nine barangays in the city was flooded when a torrential rain dumped a month-equivalent of rainfall last April 17. On the part of the local government, the City Engineering Office is working on a comprehensive drainage planning and mapping so as to provide a long-term solution to possible flooding in the future.
Mayor Allan L. Rellon stressed that the said leaders, them being as frontliners in the grassroots level, have a great role in trumpeting the city government’s advocacy at all fronts.
Among this is on matters geared towards disaster resiliency and adaptability and on peace and order.
As aligned in his EAGLE WINGS Program, Mayor Rellon also announced an improved system of communication between the local government and the purok-based leaders especially on reporting on petty crimes.
The local chief executive rallied for support from Tagumeños to volunteer on May 14, as well as participating in various community mobilization efforts either organized by the city government, barangay or their respective purok governments.
“Sa atong pagtinabangay, mugaan atong trabaho,” Mayor Rellon said. (Louie Lapat of CIO Tagum)
