Water System Project gives flowing hope to people of Barangay Bonifacio, Calamba, MisOcc

 


In the heart of Misamis Occidental, Barangay Bonifacio in Calamba, there’s a government push for a transformative initiative—a testament that providing a quality public service to every Misamisnon is the primary vision of Governor Henry Oaminal.

The provincial government’s water system project has become a lifeline for the residents in the province’s far-flung communities.

For years, these people have been suffering from water scarcity, forcing them to exert extra effort to go through difficult digging just to acquire such essential life requirements.

Tatay, a resident in the area, shared how hard for him to get water. He has to walk miles-after-miles while carrying heavy water containers rain or shine. When it’s muddy, it's harder for him to cross and trek the bumpy roads.

He was teary-eyed while sharing his experiences.

“I had to walk for miles, carrying heavy containers, just to fetch water. It was a grueling and time-consuming task. Our daily lives revolved around this quest for water, leaving little room for other pursuits,” Tatay said in vernacular, Bisaya.

Tatay was just one among hundreds of residents who had to suffer day by day to get potable water.

Hence, Oaminal brainchild the water system project to help the community ease the burden.

The implementation of the water project, including the setting of pipelines, reservoirs, and distribution points, was a paradigm shift for the Barangay Bonifacio—bringing the life-giving water resource closer to the people’s homes.

No need for lengthy walks under the heat of the sun to get water.

There was a sense of relief for the residents. It’s more convenient.

Truly, the impact of this project on the residents must be immeasurable and transcend the tangible benefits of easy access to clean water.

 Tatay along with other residents in the area express heartfelt gratitude to Oaminal.

“We are immensely grateful to Governor Oaminal for making this project a reality. Our lives have changed, and we can now focus on building a better future for our families,” they said.

The water system project not only exemplifies the Provincial Government's commitment to improving the quality of life for its constituents but also serves as a beacon of hope for other communities grappling with similar challenges.

At least 139 households from Barangay Bonifacio, Calamba town benefited from the P5 million worth of Water System Project of Governor Oaminal’s administration.

It will ensure sufficient water supply within communities.

Not only the water is now flowing but the people’s hope that progress and resilience start running. (SN/PGMO)
