My Barangay Daliao

The Barangay Council of Daliao has conducted a very successful Araw ng Barangay Daliao last May 1, 2013 with the theme, "Katawhan, bahandi sa katilingban." The celebration included a mass, the launching of the Agri-Fair, Basketball Championships, and the Mutya ng Daliao, among others. Congressman Isidro Ungab led the Hugpong sa Tawong Lungsod in the rally during the afternoon. He informed the Barangay of the 5 million new barangay hall project. PB Rodolfo Te thanked all barangay constituents for the support. The occasion was also graced by City Councilor Kaloy Bello, Councilor Bong Advincula, Councilor Bernie Al-ag, Councilor Rachel Zozobrado, Councilor Myrna Dalodo-Ortiz, Dr. Joselle Villafuerte and candidates Jopet Baluran, Atty. Gerry Braganza, Atty. Petite Principle, and Engr. Eduard Trinidad.

Engr. Joseph Bong Dumugho, TECHVOC Supervisor, has decided to try his luck in the forthcoming October 2013 Barangay Elections as a barangay kagawad under PB Rodolfo Te. Congress has not included as a priority bill the postponement of the 2013 Barangay Elections paving the way for the possibility that it will push through. Congress has also set aside a budget of three billion pesos for the political exercise. Engr. Dumugho, together with PB Rodolfo Te and Kgd. Ryan Maboloc, is one of the men behind the highly successful TECHVOC Program of Barangay Daliao. The TESDA Accredited Training Center has trained some 300 people since its inception in 2011.

In a meeting held right after the regular session of the barangay council last January 20, stalwarts of Team Oping Te have pushed for an initial line up of candidates in the forthcoming October 2013 elections, should it push through. After due considerations, the slot of Kgd. Munding Zapanta, who is in his last term, will go to his brother Walter Zapanta. Names have been floated but Kgd. Zapanta was given his discretion. Tech-Voc supervisor Engr. Bong Dumugho will run in October. In addition, Sec. Hermie Rosales will also run, representing the women sector, thus completing the line up as follows: Punong Barangay: Rodolfo Te Kagawads: 1. Rene Pe Benito 2. Junex Oberez 3. Ryan Maboloc 4. Rodel Granada 5. Bong Dumugho 6. Walter Zapanta 7. Hermie Rosales

Congressman Isidro Ungab will allot five (5) million pesos for the construction of a new Barangay Hall in Barangay Daliao, PB Rodolfo Te has revealed.

As per records during the regular session of the Barangay Council, the project is expected to be implemented this year. It will be taken from the Priority Development Assistance Fund. Meanwhile, the 200,000 renovation of the Multi-Purpose building in the barangay is expected to begin next month. The operations for all barangay offices will be transferred in the building once the facility's improvement works are completed.
