City Officials visit Aguit-itan

As agreed upon during the People's Day held last week in Barangay Aguit-itan, the City Officials led by Mayor Reynaldo Uy, together with the Department managers visited the said barangay to see for themselves what was reported by the General Services Office (GSO). The GSO personnel had Aguit-itan as their assignment during the Iwas Dengue days activity of the LGU.

The officials visited the fishport and the so-called "wetland" area of Aguit-itan. The bulk of garbage seen in the area prompted the City Mayor to form a multi-department committee composed of the City Solid Waste Management Office, the City Health Office, the General Services Office, the City Urban Housing Division, the PNP and the Aguit-itan Barangay Council to come up with solutions.

Aside from the garbage, the condition of the majority of the settlers in the area prompted the officials to include the said barangay in the top priorities of the Calbayog Urbanization Programs Services (CUPS) component of the 3-D Development Program.

Here are some pictures I took during the visit.
