Climaco, a strong advocate of children’s rights and welfare, said the one-storey building in the village of Culianan will further enhance and expand the local government’s social services.
Once
completed, the social development center shall provide welfare services, among
others, to the disadvantaged children, she said.
“So
we will put up the first-ever mendicancy hall. I'm very particular about the
toilets and comfort of our people and in the able leadership of our engineers,”
she added.
The
center, which can accommodate at least 100 children, is symmetrical in size
with separate sleeping quarters for boys and girls and double-deck beds; and
bed rooms for adults. It will also have a kitchen and a laundry area, including
comfort rooms with cubicles and showers. The building is also designed to allow
natural light and ventilation in the building.
Aside from the center, the mayor also inspected an
area in Pettit Barracks in downtown Zamboanga where a three-storey office
building will be constructed. The building will house the Housing and Land
Management Division, the City Treasurer’s Office collection unit and the
Department of the Interior and Local Government office, among others.
Climaco inspected the site to ensure the project is
in accordance with the provisions of the contract between the local government
and the private contractor.
The
mayor also turned over to the Bureau of Fire and Protection the
newly-rehabilitated and improved fire station in Sangali village. The bigger
and more convenient facility will house fire trucks, including those donated by
the Climaco administration in 2019. (Zamboanga Post)
