By Dominic B. dela Cruz, staff reporter

Laoag City—Following the painting of the Laoag City General Hospital (LCGH) and the Laoag City Public Market for free courtesy of Pacific Paint (BOYSEN) Philippines, another paint company, Davies Paint is also donating paints amounting to around PHP4 to PHP5 million for the free “uniform painting” of all the 80 barangay halls in this city and the LC Aurora Park.

Laoag Mayor James Bryan Alcid confirmed this after representatives from Davies Paint already signified their intention for the painting of all the barangay halls and the Aurora Park.

The mayor said that these paints will be distributed equally to all the barangays with an off-white color, additional colors will be agreed upon later.

Nakapinpintas dagitoy a libre a proyekto appo aglalo awan bayadan iti city government renewable pay every three years. Kayat na saoen agi donate da kada tallo a tawen,” the mayor said.

In a random interview with the punong barangays, they all expressed their gratitude to the city government, especially to the mayor for “another blessing” to be given to the city’s 80 barangays.

Daytoy a banag ket dakkel a pakalag-anan iti barangay ta isupay a gatangen mi dagiti pinta kuma mausar ket napintas to adytoy tapnun adda uniformity a color dagiti amin a barangay halls ti siyudad iti Laoag,” the interviewed barangay heads said.

The start of the project is still undetermined, however, the mayor said added that the “intention” has been finalized.

It was learned that the city government and the Boysen Paint had an earlier signing of MOA for the painting of the Laoag City General Hospital (LCGH) and the Laoag City Public Market courtesy of the Pacific Paint (BOYSEN) Philippines.
