THROUGHOUT CEBU PROVINCE
-
Before officially stepping down from office, outgoing Cebu Governor Gwendolyn “Gwen” Garcia has called on all local chief executives across the province’s towns and cities to fast-track the submission of their memorandum of agreement (MOA) in order to secure solar-powered streetlights intended for provincial roads.
The governor shared during the post-election meeting with the mayors that while over 26,000 solar lamps with posts are ready for distribution, these will only be given to local government units (LGUs) that formally commit to installing the units promptly and according to the specifications laid down by the Cebu Provincial Government.
“We already have the solar lamps, complete with poles and some 10,000 pedestals,” said Garcia. “But we need a MOA with the concurrence of your council that you are willing to install these solar lamps.”
The 200-watt warm white lamps are part of Garcia’s flagship infrastructure safety project, originally intended for installation along provincial roads at 25-meter intervals.
