ZAMBOANGA CITY – The city government on Friday unveiled two infrastructure projects worth PHP7.19 in Barangay Mampang, this city.
Mayor Maria Isabelle Climaco-Salazar, who led the unveiling ceremonies, said the construction of the two projects is a show of gratitude to Barangay Mampang for hosting the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in the 2013 siege.
The first project Salazar unveiled is a covered court worth PHP3.995 million located at the campus of Mampang Elementary School. The second project is a wellness center costing P3.195 million.
The two projects were constructed by private construction firms under the supervision of the City Engineer’s Office.
Salazar has assured that services will be augmented in Barangay Mampang through additional infrastructure projects and programs.
“Let us continue to make our children’s future a reality today!” Salazar told those who attended the unveiling of the two projects.
The barangay of Mampang has served as home to thousands of IDPs of the 2013 siege since three transitory sites were constructed in the area.
City Social Welfare and Development Officer Socorro Rojas on Friday said there are still 246 families housed in two transitory sites in Mampang. (PNA)
