The 829 relocated
families from Brgy. 6, 8 and 9 received financial assistance from the City
in the of P1,000.00 per family. Bacolod City Mayor Evelio R. Leonardia
personally delivered the aid to the families at simple ceremonies at the
Cabugwason Relocation Site last February 13, 2005.
In his short inspirational talk to the residents,
the mayor looked to the future when, with the continuing development of
urban sites, it will be necessary for more and more people to be
relocated. Those who have relocated early, like families at the Cabugwason,
have the advantage. He encouraged the families to fully develop as a
community.
Also present at the ceremony were Lone District
of Bacolod Congressman Monico Puentevella, Councilor Cordova, Punong
Barangays Gary Yanson (Brgy. 9), Jessie Chua (Brgy. 6) and Aurora
Santander (Brgy. 8). (CMO-PIO/osb) |
