A screening committee from the offices in the Local government Unit and some from national-line agencies based in the municipality will be choosing the winners.
“The search is our means to strengthen our Pumer-asan program to make sure that our programs on health and sanitation are being implemented in the barangay. We believe the search will be a motivation for our people in the barangay to perform well in health and sanitation,” Mayor Sacrament Gumilab said in a statement.
Mayor Gumilab is then encouraging all barangay officials, BLGUs and individuals to participate in the contested activities, which he said would not only benefit them as winners but also the community as a whole.
“Winning this search would bring honor to people in the winning barangay and also be included as our entry for the search for provincial healthy barangay. It will also be a good sign that your barangay really is developing in terms of health and sanitation,” Gumilab stated.
He is then asking the yTongrayans to cooperate and dedicate their time to this search as this will not only give them projects but would also give them a lot of benefits, particularly on their health.
“The most important one is sickness and diseases will be prevented with these efforts,” he underscored.
Winners of the said search shall be awarded on December during the LGU Christmas Party.
