PRep. Duterte was represented by his son, Rodrigo Duterte 11 during the formal turned over program Monday morning (Oct. 3) at the satellite office of Barangay Talomo in Bangkal.
The "Lamayan ng Bayan" will be the first funeral home to offer an accessible venue to Davao City residents who could not afford decent funeral service for their departed loved ones.
The newly-built gymnasium was also turned over to the same barangay. The facility will be utilized for crowd gatherings, assemblies, and activities of the barangay and other local government agencies.
Duterte II, in a speech said he is glad to be part of the turnover of the Lamayan ng Bayan (the funeral home) and the gym through the efforts of the young congressman and his staff.
Apart from these facilities, the First Congressional District Office also donated 10 tents to the barangay.
After cutting the ribbon at the Barangay Hall Satellite Office, Duterte II and staff of the First Congressional Office headed to the main office of the Barangay Talomo Proper, located along Talomo Road, to attend the formal program prepared by the barangay chief, Engr. Bendor Calamba, and his staff.
Calamba expressed his heartfelt gratitude to Duterte and the entire First Congressional District Office staff for all the programs and projects from which the barangay benefitted. He said all the support given by the district office has already helped a lot of people.
"Thank you, congressman Duterte. Thank you, Mr. Rodrigo Duterte II and the entire First Congressional District Office staff. Rest assured that all your support to the barangay will reach thousands of people," Calamba said in the vernacular.
Duterte II said that Rep. Duterte wishes for the Barangay Talomo to take care of the structures and the tents and to use them properly for everyone's wellbeing. The congressman also thanked the barangay for its endless support to the First Congressional District Office under his leadership.
“Dili pud unta kamo magsawa sa pag imbitar Kanako sa inyong mga pasundayag ug unta dili kamo maulaw muduol sa opisina ni Congressman Pulong ug kang Mayor Sebastian Duterte kung aduna kamoy buot iduol, kay mao lang kini ang paagi para kami maka balos man lang sa inyong walay pu-as nga supporta sa amung pamilya,” Duterte II said.
More similar structures would be turned over to other areas of Davao City soon. The city's residents will benefit from these structures, especially the Lamayan ng Bayan, the statement said.
