TAGBILARAN City Mayor Jane Yap led a series of switch on ceremonies marking the installation of new street lights in some parts of the city on August 2, 2023.
The events took place at three key locations: Espuelas Street, Visarra Street, and Peñaflor Street.
These endeavors are part of the city’s commitment to improve visibility in dark areas and ensure the safety of the residents and visitors.
“The installation of these modern street lights demonstrates our commitment to the well-being and safety of our citizens. With well-illuminated streets, we can walk with confidence and enjoy the beauty of our city even during the evenings. This project is a testament to our relentless pursuit of progress and the betterment of the lives of our people,” Mayor Yap explained.
Accompanying Mayor Yap in the switch on ceremony were Chief of Staff John Geesnell Yap II, Assistant City Engineer Ingrid Pocot, Engr. Felito Francisco (head of the Electrical Division of the City Engineer’s Office) and the different barangay officials.
With brighter areas along Espuelas Street, Visarra Street and Peñaflor Street, Mayor Yap expressed hope for increased road safety in the said places.
The well-lit roads offer added protection and convenience to the public, ensuring smooth navigation, even during the night time.
Moreover, Mayor Yap is very optimistic that with brighter streets, there will be a decline, if not, total eradication of criminal elements in society.
The street lighting project in the city is part of a comprehensive initiative sourced from the 20% Development Fund, reflecting the local government’s commitment to continuously enhance infrastructure and services for its constituents.
