Tomas Mayor Ernesto “Tatay Erning” Evangelista turned over 400 meters of newly opened road at Purok 7, Brgy San Jose, Sto. Tomas to Brgy Captain Hon. Eulogio A Andoyo of the said barangay. The convergence and synergy of efforts in addition with political resolve led to the completion of the said road opening that has long been dreamt and envisaged by the local populace.
The project was made possible thru the efforts of Mayor Hon Ernesto “Tatay Erning” Evangelista as the head of the Municipal Task Force-Ending Local Communist Armed Conflict (MTF-ELCAC). Mayor Evangelista collaborated with the Philippine Army thru the 534th Engineer Construction Battalion and the 89th Infantry (Makatao) Battalion and entered into the Inter-Local Agency Partnership Agreement (ILAPA) for the road opening. As stated in the agreement the 534th ECBn shall undertake the project in accordance with the Program of Works provided by the municipality and they will also provide the personnel, equipment and machineries for the entire duration of the project. While 89IB provided for the security to ensure and normalize the peace and order situation in the identified project site, the Local Government Unit also did its part for the project by providing necessary materials, fuel and lubricants for the heavy equipment used.
The significance of the road network is an enabling mechanism for both economic activities and social progress and for better accessibility in promoting peace and stability. The accomplishment of the said road project can also maintain the good relationship within the community and uplift the lives of the people by providing strong roads towards socio-economic opportunities.
The residents of the recipient barangay expressed their gratitude to the different government agencies for providing them with this very important infrastructure project in their locality. Moreover they gave honor and appreciation to Mr. Suico, a private individual who donated the piece of land for the road.
Mayor Evangelista in his message stated that there will be more projects to come such as electrification and water system installation. “Hulat-hulat lang ta muabot ra guihapon sa dili madugay”, he added, and appealed to the community to be more productive in their everyday undertakings.
“Truly if all sectors of the government will come together to work as one in the pursuit of peace, it is possible for further development, and as the protector of the people the MAKATAO Battalion will continue its mandate in preserving the peace to pave the way for economic progress,” LTC GAFFUD added.
