Cong. Antonio “Anton” F. Lagdameo, Jr. of the 2nd District of Davao del Norte, inaugurated yesterday two (2) major projects in the Municipality of Carmen namely the Road concreting project connecting Carmen’s National High School, Public Market and Public Terminal, and the Association of Barangay Council’s (ABC) Building worth 5 and 6 Million, respectively.
Lagdameo personally joined his constituents in the blessing of the two projects. With him were Carmen’s Mayor Marcelino Perandos and Vice Mayor Alberto Sarin along with Sanguniang Bayan officials, barangay captains, media and local townspeople. Lagdameo said that “these 2 projects are my advance valentine gift to the people of Carmen for your collaborative dedication to make this place progressive. The said projects are part of the congressman’s centerpiece program, Barangayanihan.
The road concreting project proves to be a major catalyst for the municipality’s rapidly growing economy as it traverses three major public structures of the town. Many stalls are also sprouting beside the street which adds to the town’s local revenue.
Mr Jovencio Mahumot, a trisikad driver and a ranking official of the locality’s trisikad driver and operator’s association expressed his elation of the project and said “because of Cong. Lagdameo’s road concreting project, our income has significantly increased since we deliver our passengers faster and with less stress. The number of passengers is also increasing as the public market expands further into the road connecting the terminal.”
For the newly finished ABC Hall, Liga ng mga Barangay President Resty Salaysay could not contain his feelings of appreciation to Cong. Lagdameo’s project for their association since this is a dream come true. The town’s barangay chairmen were once conducting their meetings anywhere within the municipal hall complex since they did not have an office to stay, much more, a room to house the officials from its 20 barangays for a meeting.
The local officer of the Department of Interior and Local Government was also mentioned as one of the occupants of the new building.
Mayor Mar Perandos articulated his deep appreciation for Cong. Lagdameo’s efforts and contribution in transforming the town into a bustling and progressing municipality. He mentioned all the projects that were realized under his administration were funded by the young legislator such as the construction of the Municipal Health Center. renovation of the municipal gym and complex, livelihood center, mini-ambulance in all its barangays and now the ABC Hall and School-Market-Terminal Road Concreting. The mayor also revealed that Cong. Lagdameo has also worked for the recent implementation of a 75 Million Desilting and Dike Protection project that is on-going under implementation by the National Irrigation Administration (NIA).
Carmen’s new ABC Hall is just one of Cong. Lagdameo’s pet project for the barangay leaders. Another ABC Hall is being completed in Peñaplata, Island Garden City of Samal for the said city’s barangay officials. (30)
