Kwentong LGSF | Featuring Marisol from Brgy. Pasong Tamo, Quezon City
One of the eligible projects under the Local Government Support Fund - Financial Assistance to Local Government Units (LGSF-FALGU) is the procurement of ambulances, trucks, and multi-purpose vehicles. In Brgy. Pasong Tamo, Quezon City, these vehicles play an indispensable role in ensuring the swift delivery of services, especially for Barangay Health Workers like Marisol.
As a resident of Pasong Tamo and a Barangay Health Worker, Marisol has personally witnessed how the procurement of four (4) units of multicabs and one (1) mini dump truck in 2022 led to the improvement of the operations of their barangay.
“Dati po kasi matagal kami nakakarating kung saan kami pupunta. Halimbawa, [kapag] may kukunin na gamit o supply, hindi namin agad nakukuha dahil kulang ang sasakyan. Ngayon po, napakabilis na po. Nandyan po kaagad para magamit namin ang serbisyo ng barangay sa sasakyan,” she explained.
At present, the Barangay Health Center uses the said vehicles in delivering health-related services, especially to children in their local community.
“Kapag kailangan po naming pumunta sa outreach para magbakuna ng mga bata, [gaya ng] anti-measles, sila yung nagse-service sa amin para makarating sa area. Kapag kumukuha kami ng gamot sa aming district office, ‘yon din po ang ginagamit namin. Isang sabi lang po, nandiyan na kaagad. Tunay na maaasahan,” Marisol highlighted.
The purchase of multicabs and mini dump truck is a barangay-level non-infrastructure project under the FY 2022 LGSF-FALGU.
