DIGOS
CITY, Davao del Sur (Nov. 4) – The provincial government here recently turned
over a two-storey barangay hall project worth P3.5 million to Barangay Aplaya
in Digos City.
The
barangay hall was built to provide convenience and with its modern components,
it would accommodate constituents in many different ways with less efforts and
expenditures.
Governor
Claude Bautista has shared commitments with the barangay officials as valuable
partners to this large scale project.
Gov.
Bautista said the newly turned-over barangay hall serves as a symbol and as a
reminder to everyone that strong governance emanates from the people that is
united and essential for a great leadership.
The
Governor emphasized the responsibility of elected officials in the delivery of
basic services to the people in response to the mandate of the government.
"This
barangay hall is not my project but your project because this is where your
taxes go," he stated during the turn-over rites.
Gov.
Bautista further stressed that when taxes are being paid religiously, this is
certainly returned to the public through various projects aimed at promoting
economic reforms for a sustainable development.
Being
a true leader, a political color should be put aside where services are
extended without reservations, he added.
The
governor reiterated the much needed support from the people in all areas to
ascertain that it is the community that will benefit of the services delivered
to them through taxes.
Barangay
captain Reynaldo Aballe thanked the governor for giving his barangay a big push
to become recipient of a huge project that provides convenience to
constituents.
"We
welcome this development with a hope to be given more projects in the near
future, all for the love of public service. I salute the governor for his
gesture despite our political differences," Aballe said in an interview.
