Lambo Polo by Kap Ramil Alforque

Today, I oversaw the turnover of 2 sets of Jetmatic Pump to the Purok Leaders of Purok Anibong, Sitio Asiotes, Barangay Polo. Accompanying me were my appointed Barangay Secretary, Sec. Bryan Paul Perez Tulabing, and two Barangay Kagawads, Hon. Silva Rowel and Hon. Tan Nap . This event was an important part of our community development efforts, and we were also pleased to have our Kagawads bring paint materials for the George Pilas Memorial School to support Brigada Skwela 2024. It's heartening to see the community come together to support the school, and I'm proud of the initiatives we have undertaken.

The turnover of the Jetmatic Pumps demonstrates our commitment to improving access to clean water in our community. These pumps will greatly benefit the residents of Purok Anibong, and I am grateful for the hard work and dedication of everyone involved. This initiative not only reflects our focus on infrastructure development but also our dedication to serving the needs of the community.

I am thankful for the support and collaboration of the Purok Leaders, Sitio Anibong residents, Barangay Tanods, JOs, Lupon, Barangay Secretary, and the Barangay Kagawads, as well as the efforts of everyone involved in making this turnover a success. As we continue to work towards progress and development, I am confident that our community will grow stronger and more resilient.

I want to inform everyone about the on-going concreting project in front of Polo Covered Court and Polo High School Entrance. The project aims to replace the muddy pathway with a more durable and accessible concrete one. I would like to express my gratitude to the Barangay Council for their continuous support for our plans, projects, and activities. It's through this collaborative effort that we can work towards improving our barangay for the benefit of everyone.

Let's unite and strive to make our barangay a better place for all its residents. It's essential that we work together to create a more inclusive and thriving community. By coming together and supporting initiatives like the concreting project, we can enhance the overall living conditions and experiences for everyone in our barangay. Together, let's continue to pursue projects that contribute to the betterment of our community.

A message to all fathers around the world.

As Punong Barangay, I want to extend my warmest greetings to all the fathers around the world on this special day. Father's Day is an opportunity for us to honor and express our appreciation for the dedication, hard work, and love that fathers consistently pour into their families and communities.

To all the fathers, grandfathers, and father figures, your role in shaping the lives of the next generation is invaluable. Your dedication, guidance, and unwavering support serve as a guiding light, inspiring us to reach higher and dream bigger. Your sacrifices, big and small, often go unnoticed, but they are the foundation upon which strong families and resilient communities are built.

Today, I encourage everyone to take a moment to recognize and celebrate the fathers in their lives. Let us express our gratitude and admiration for their strength and resilience, and the love and values they instill in those around them. Let us honor their unwavering commitment to their families and their tireless efforts to provide a better future for their children.

Fathers, your influence reaches far beyond your own households. You play a vital role in shaping the future of our communities and the world at large. Your hard work, wisdom, and compassion resonate with each life you touch, leaving an indelible mark that reverberates for generations to come.

As we celebrate this day, let's make it a point to thank and embrace the fathers in our lives. Let's ensure that they feel appreciated and cherished not just today, but every day. Their love and dedication deserve to be celebrated year-round.

To all the fathers, I offer my deepest respect and heartfelt gratitude. May this Father's Day be a joyous and fulfilling occasion for all of you. Thank you for everything you do, and may you continue to inspire and lead with love, strength, and wisdom.

Happy Father's Day to all!

It is of utmost importance to maintain cleanliness in public areas to promote a healthy and hygienic environment. A crucial part of this responsibility falls on street vendors who must ensure that their surroundings are always kept clean and tidy.

This involves not only disposing of waste in a responsible manner but also encouraging their customers to follow suit. By keeping the streets clean and litter-free, we can create a safe and healthy environment for all individuals to live in. It is essential that we work together to maintain cleanliness and take pride in our community's appearance.

Disco Night Vendors' 2nd Meeting

Cleanliness is a vital aspect of public health and hygiene, and its significance cannot be overstated. Keeping public spaces clean and free of litter and debris is essential to prevent the spread of diseases, as well as to promote a healthy and hygienic environment for all. This is particularly important in the case of street vendors, who operate in outdoor areas and are often exposed to various environmental contaminants. The importance of cleanliness for street vendors lies not only in preventing the spread of diseases but also in ensuring that the food they prepare and sell is safe and hygienic.

Maintaining cleanliness involves not just the proper disposal of waste but also the adoption of appropriate sanitation measures. Street vendors should take care to dispose of their waste in designated bins to prevent littering and maintain cleanliness in the surroundings.

Overall, maintaining cleanliness in the venue and street vendor areas is of utmost importance for promoting public health and hygiene. It is the responsibility of everyone, including street vendors, visitors, and local authorities, to work together to ensure that public spaces are clean and hygienic, and to take necessary steps to prevent the spread of diseases.

A message of Appreciation to VM Hon. Maisa Sagarbarria and family.

Having a good sound system in schools is crucial for ensuring that school programs, events, and activities are successful and engaging for students, teachers, and parents alike. A quality sound system can enhance the delivery of speeches, music performances, and other forms of audio-visual presentations, making them more impactful and enjoyable for everyone in attendance.

The government thru the Office of the Vice Mayor Hon. Maisa Sagarbarria recognizes the importance of having a sound system in GAPJMS and has taken steps to provide assistance in acquiring it. Many schools receive funding from the government to purchase and install sound systems, making it easier for them to offer high-quality events and programs. This support from the government and from Maam Maisa Sagarbarria and the Sagarbarria family also ensures that schools with limited resources are not left behind when it comes to providing a rich and engaging learning environment for their students. Overall, having access to a reliable and effective sound system in schools is a key component of a well-rounded education, and the government's support in this area is greatly appreciated by educators and leaners alike.

Thank you maam Maisa Sagarbarria and the Sagarbarria Family.

A message of Appreciation.

Feeding programs conducted by non-government organizations (NGOs) are of utmost importance in promoting the well-being of children in the barangay. These programs are specifically designed to provide regular access to nutritious meals to children who may not have adequate food at home due to poverty or other circumstances. The significance of these programs lies not only in addressing the immediate needs of hunger but also in promoting long-term health and development of children.

By providing healthy meals on a regular basis, NGOs like 4ACE PHILS, can support the physical growth, cognitive development, and overall health of children. This, in turn, helps them to thrive and reach their full potential. Proper nutrition is essential for children's physical and mental development, and feeding programs ensure that children have access to the necessary nutrients to support their growth and development.

Moreover, feeding programs also serve as a platform for community engagement and education on proper nutrition and healthy eating habits. They encourage community participation, which fosters a sense of shared responsibility towards the welfare of children in the barangay. This helps in building stronger communities and promoting a culture of caring, which is vital for the overall welfare of society.

In conclusion, the impact of feeding programs on the lives of children in the barangay is immeasurable. These programs highlight the vital role of NGOs in addressing food insecurity and promoting child welfare.

I would like to express deep appreciation to 4 ACE PHILIPPINES MicroLENDING CORP for this corporate social responsibility interventions and for their unwavering support in organizing this feeding program activity for the children in Brgy Polo. It is through such collective efforts that we can make a significant impact on the lives of the most vulnerable members of our society.

Thank you very much.

Participating in youth sports can do wonders for our community, and our Barangay Captain Hon. Ramil Alforque is a firm believer of this. By engaging in sports, young people can reap immediate and long-lasting benefits, not just for themselves, but for their families and communities as well.

These benefits include significant improvements in mental, emotional, and social health, physical fitness, academic and career success, lifelong engagement in sports and physical activity, and positive economic and community impact.

So let us encourage our youth to get involved in sports, and let us support them in their journey towards a healthier and more fulfilling life.

Distribution of Toilet Bowls
11-26-2023

Today, we distributed Toilet Bowls to our residents in Barangay Polo.

The Department of Health (DOH) implemented the Zero Open Defecation Program (ZODP). Eliminating open defecation is one of the goals of the Philippine Health Agenda.

We all know that toilet distribution programs by themselves are not effective in achieving change but by investing in the Zero Open Defecation Program and the "Goodbye, Dumi! Hello, Healthy!" communication campaign, we can empower, deploy, and mobilize the community to change and find solutions to their sanitation problems.

For a healthy, lively, and progressive Barangay!
