This resulted in the completion of long-overdue projects around the barangays, including new and/or renovated barangay halls, barangay plaza stages, senior citizen’s halls, street pathways, day care centers, waiting shed, footbridge, school drainages, basketball courts, road repairs and asphalting, and school infrastructure and improvement works, not counting unreported private initiatives like construction and/or repair of churches, chapels, homes, and other requested projects that caught his concern.
