BALUT VENDORS thanked Mayor Beng Climaco not only for giving them space where to sell their goods, but also for including them in the Local Special Amelioration Program.
Climaco recently visited balut
vendors at the R.T. Lim Boulevard to personally see how they are doing. She
also spoke with them and the others selling barbeque and food in the area.

The mayor also spoke to policemen manning the stretch of the boulevard and people relaxing in the newly-rehabilitated walking path along the waterfront.
While at the area, Climaco inspected
the facilities at the beautiful beachfront which is part of the P74-million Waterfront and Heritage Walk Redevelopment Project and the
Scouting Centennial Monument – all were inaugurated last year.
Residents
and visitors have praised the beautiful façade of the boulevard with its
well-lighted path walk adorned with palm trees and flowering plants and
stainless hand rails.
The
city government’s project focused on upgrading and connecting the boulevard and
its neighboring thoroughfares in the waterfront city zone and heritage zone.
Uniform and non-skid paving were used to improve the appearance and safety of
the streetscape while speed tables were built to connect sidewalks, making the
corridor friendly to people on foot.
Rows of
native Zamboanga trees and shrubs are also planted along the esplanade to
protect pedestrians and bikers from motorists on the carriageway. Seating areas
were also built on the edge of the shore for a good view of the sunset.
