MAYOR Eric C. Codilla will release funds to purchase 10,000 pieces of latrines to be distributed to poor households. The mayor bared this during the barangay visit at Green Valley last July 11 wherein Barangay Captain Eddie Gazo requested for latrines.
City Health Officer Dr. Nelita Navales said she released 50 latrines to six cluster barangays which is not enough considering there are 110 barangays. Councilor Rafael C. Omega Jr., chairman of the committee on health said he will pass a supplemental budget to buy 2,000 more latrines.
But Mayor Eric C. Codilla ordered that 10,000 latrines be procured. Aside from the latrines, the barangay folk also aired their other concerns including water connections in puroks, road concreting and more benefits for senior citizens. The city government brought services to the barangay visit including medical and dental missions, free haircut and feeding activity.
