Laoag City—With the aim of “fostering a better coordination and communication among the Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan officials” in this  city, the Sangguniang Panlungsod here approved a measure requesting Ilocos Norte 1st district Rep. Ferdinand Alexander “Sandro” A. Marcos, through the Dept. of Public Works and Highways (DPWH), to allocate funds for the construction, repair, rehabilitation, and expansion of the existing Liga ng Mga Barangay (LMB) and Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) building situated at Brgy. 2 Sta. Joaquina, this city.

Sangguniang Kabataan Federated President and Sangguniang Panlungsod ex-officio member Michael Agustin said the construction of the LMB and SK buildings are deemed essential to facilitate the efficient operations of the federation units.

He said that the building will serve as a centralized hub for the LMB and SK activities, meetings, and administrative functions, thereby fostering better coordination and communication among barangay and SK officials.

Agustin, who sponsored the measure, said the allocation of funds for the construction of the said building will contribute to the enhancement of community services and youth development programs in the locality

“Knowing that Congressman Ferdinand Alexander “Sandro” A. Marcos III has continuously demonstrated commitment and support toward the development endeavors of the 1st District, Ilocos Norte, including projects that aim to improve local infrastructure and governance”, Agustin said.

He further said that the existing LMB building will remain but it needs repair and rehabilitation aside from the construction and expansion of a bigger and a new one to accommodate the SK. However, he said that it will depend on the decision of the DPWH what would best suit the project.

At present, the existing LMB building accommodates the offices of the Philippine Information Agency (PIA) and the City Library.
