TACLOBAN CITY, Leyte
– Governor Carlos Jericho “Icot” Petilla has again carved an
indelible mark of feat in the towns and barangays in
Leyte with its nearly 100M financial assistance given for various
infrastructure projects.
This resulted the
construction of over 900 assortment of infrastructure projects such as
daycare centers, barangay halls/ multi-purpose, barangay roads,
concrete pavements, canals and pathways, water systems, street
lighting installations, school facility repairs, basketball courts and
several more small scale infrastructure and livelihood projects in
around 927 barangays.
Around 253 projects
were accounted in the towns and barangays in the first districts
including in the city of Tacloban. The district got nearly P25M of
financial help from the provincial government.
In the second
district, 228 barangays availed of the over P25.5M financial
assistance distributed by the governor resulting the creation of
around 254 various small scale infrastructure projects.
Meanwhile, over 80
barangays of the five towns in the third district got over P9.3M
assistance resulting to the construction of 91 various barangay
projects.
The fourth district
comprising of six municipalities has benefited over P9.1 M. Around 97
projects of various kinds were constructed in over 80 barangays.
The 9 towns of the
fifth district benefited the highest amount with over P26.5M help it
obtained from the generosity of the provincial government. Around 2398
various infra projects were constructed and completed in 232 barangays.
Although a first-termer
governor that he is, Governor Icot as he is fondly known in the
villages with his frequent visits has apparently made a wide raging
feat province-wide reaching down to barangays and remote villages of
Leyte.
The record accounts
almost 65% of the 1641 barangays in
Leyte to have
been afforded help and needed services.
