Barangay Urban Gardening

The City Agriculturist Office sent Agriculture technicians as judges to the 2nd Barangay Daliao Urban Gardening Contest. Mr. Edgardo Haspe, Ms. Rufina Doysabas, and Ms. Emma Villanueva visited the organic farms in the barangay last July 31, 2013. Kgd. Ryan Maboloc, Chair of the Committee, was happy to announce that the winners for the contest, Mr. Lino Rosales, Mr. Edwin Yabut, and Mr. Roger Gonzales will receive their cash prizes in August 2013. The prizes are 3,000, 2,000, and 1,000 respectively. Final ranking will be announced soon. Mr. Rodolfo Dumlao, barangay staff, guided the judges to the location of the plots. The purpose of the program is to promote urban farming and enhance food sustainability in the barangay.

Kagawad Maboloc encourages positive dialogue this election season

Since the Commission on Election has already promulgated the guidelines for the 2013 Barangay Elections, potential candidates including incumbent barangay officials have already started doing consultative visits to different sitios to hold discussions with the barangay constituents. It is in this light that incumbent Kagawad Ryan Maboloc is encouraging positive discussions and dialogues with the people. "We just highlight our achievements and what we can do to help our constituents live better lives", this in a way was the message he relayed. "Ultimately, the people should elect those leaders that they deserve," he adds. As of the moment, at least two persons have expressed their willingness to challenge incumbent PB Rodolfo Te. There are already twenty five (25) prospective candidates for Sangguniang Barangay members. The filing of certificates of candidacy will be in October 15-17, 2013.
