By




Monsignor Joel Bruno C. Barut blesses the newly acquired heavy equipment of the City of Laoag comprising of 10 units of dump trucks, one unit of man lift, and one unit of de-clogger. This marks a pivotal moment in the city's commitment to progress and efficiency. Joining Msgr. Barut are Laoag Mayor Michael Keon, several members of the Laoag council headed by Vice Mayor Rey Carlos Fariñas, city hall department heads and employees as witnesses for the blessing.

The 10 units of dump trucks is seen to revolutionize waste management, transportation of materials, maintenance of public spaces, and logistical support during evacuation and disaster relief operations. These vehicles are also set to streamline operations, ensuring a cleaner and more organized urban landscape for residents.

The single unit of man lift likewise improves urban planning and maintenance. This equipment will facilitate the inspection and maintenance of elevated structures, enhance the efficiency of repairs, and ensure the safety of workers involved in high-rise projects.

The de-clogger underlines the city's commitment to enhance its sanitation and drainage systems. This specialized equipment will play a crucial role in clearing blockages, maintaining sewage networks, and safeguarding the city against flooding.

“By investing in cutting-edge technology for wastewater management, Laoag City is fortifying its infrastructure against potential risks and ensuring the well-being of its citizens. The advent of these new heavy equipment signifies more than just a mere upgrade in machinery; it symbolizes a dedication to efficiency, sustainability, and progress. The city government's foresight in acquiring these assets reflects a proactive approach to urban development and a deep-seated commitment to enhancing the quality of life for its residents,” a press release read.

As Laoag City embraces a future marked by growth and modernization, city officials see the blessing of these new heavy equipment stands as a testament to its vision for a more resilient, sustainable, and prosperous community. (Doms dela Cruz)
