BAYAMBANG-Residents of Barangay Batangcaoa happily trooped to their newly constructed barangay hall to witness the inauguration and blessing of the two- story structure last week.
The residents said the hall, called Presidensia de Batangcaoa, will be used as an assembly place to discuss plans and matters of interest to the community.
Beside the barangay hall is a small chapel to fill the spiritual needs of the residents.
Punong Barangay Rogelio “Berting” Dumalanta said that the funding for the project was sourced from the barangay Internal Revenue Allotment (IRA), Mayor Ricardo Camacho, Governor Amado T..Espino, Jr. and Engr. Rosendo So of Abono Party-list.
“Ang pananalapi at mga resources na ginamit sa pagpapatayo ng barangay hall na ito ay mula sa sariling pondo ng barangay na matagal ng naka-allocate upang makapagpatayo ng magarang dalawang palapag na gusali,” Dumalanta said.
“Dahil hindi sapat ang pondo ng barangay, humingi po tayo ng suporta mula kay Mayor Ricardo Camacho, kay Governor Espino, at kay Engr. Rosendo So ng Abono Party-list,” Dumalanta continued.
Dumalanta also said that the barangay hall will serve the concept of bringing government closer to the people.
“Ang pagtayo ng bagong barangay hall ay magpapalakas sa pagkaka-isa ng mga residente at ng pamahalaang barangay tungo sa adhikain ng bawat isa na magkaroon ng matiwasay na pamumuhay,” Dumalanta said.
Barangay kagawad Celso Vallo said that with the barangay hall, the barangay council can hold sessions in an environment more conducive to producing better better barangay ordinances and resolutions.
“Hindi ko talaga akalain na ganitong kagandang ang barangay hall dito sa Batangcaoa,” Vallo said. “Kaya naman dapat na mas magsumikap ang mga opisyal ng barangay para pagsilbihan ang mga residente dito.”
Barangay kagawad Reksmon Lomibao said that the completion of the barangay will serve as an inspiration to the barangay leadership that cooperation and hard work has its dividends.
Guest of Honor, Modesto Operania from the Office of the Governor led Punong Barangay Berting Dumalanta and the incumbent barangay council in the ribbon cutting ceremony to formally open the barangay hall to residents of Batangacaoa.
Operania said that Governor Espino will continue to undertake projects in the barangays as a continuation of its program to bring more progress and development in Pangasinan.
The project, he said, is proof that the provincial government prioritizes the needs of the barangay folks.
Dumalanta said while the construction of the barangay hall is commendable and have helped define the role of the barangay in development, there are still more substantial challenges to be overcome so that the potential of barangay to be instruments in nation-building will be optimized.
“Magandang accomplishment po ang makapagpatayo ng barangay hall dahil dtto sa gusaling ito magmumula ang lahat ng plano para sa pag-unlad ng barangay,” Dumalanta said. “Pero mas marami pa tayong hamon na haharapin at nanainiwala ako sa kakayahan hindi lang ng mga opisyal ng barangay kung hindi pati na sa kakayahan ng bawat isa sa inyo na harapin ang anumang hamon ng panahon sa atin.”
Also in attendance were the Barangay Peace Action Team, Barangay Health Workers and the Sangguniang Kabataan.
