My Barangay Daliao

Kagawad Ryan Maboloc has swapped committees with Kagawad Raymund Zapanta during the regular session last January 22, 2012. Maboloc is now chair of the Agriculture and Fisheries Committee while Zapanta is now head of the Education Committee. In line with this, Maboloc has done initial consultations with the barangay fisherfolks. Initial plans include proposals for a Fisherman's Center, Coastal Resource Management, and Livelihood for small fishermen. Barangay Daliao is a well-known fishing community. Maboloc has coordinated with the Institute for Small Fisheries, the Ateneo Social Involvement Coordinating Office and DEVSTRAT for the proposals. A seminar and planning workshop will be slated this summer to be attended by stakeholders and barangay officials to find ways to sustain the fishing community and the barangay's coastal resources.

Kagawad Ryan Maboloc and the Barangay Council of Daliao have facilitated the allocation of a budget of 100,000 for the construction/improvement of a Water System at Sitio Pogi-lawis. In a visit to the area together with PB Rodolfo Te, Maboloc explained that water is a basic necessity that the barangay must provide to its constituents. Funded out of the 2012 Barangay Development Fund for 2012, the project will be implemented this year through the Committee on Infrastructure of Kgd. Genaro Oberez Jr. Last year, Kgd. Maboloc and the Barangay Council have facilitated the release of 100,000 for the construction of a Community Stage at Sitio Pantalan and the concreting at Sitio San Jose, co-sponsored by Kgd. Zapanta, amounting to 200,000.

The Barangay Council of Daliao approved in its session last January 8, 2012 the 7.4 million Annual Budget for FY 2012. This includes 1.374 million for the Barangay Development Fund (BDF). The projects include 300,000 riprapping for Sitio San Roque, 200,000 road concreting for St. Jude, 100,000 water system for Pogi-Lawis, 150,000 line canal for DUHA, 200,000 line canal for Prudential, 200,000 riprapping for San Vicente, among others. Also in the pipeline is the 500,000 improvement of the Barangay Hall, of which the funding was sourced from the SB 7 and SB 8 in 2011. Work will commence in the middle of January 2012.
