TIAONG, Quezon — Access to healthcare and early childhood education is expected to improve as the municipal government advances the construction of new health centers, child development facilities, and buildings for senior citizens. The projects aim to bring essential public services closer to communities, particularly families, young children, and older residents who depend on accessible government facilities.
Mayor Vincent Arjay “RJ” Mea recently inspected construction projects in Barangays Bihiya, Bula, and Lagalag to assess their progress and examine the quality of building materials. The inspections covered facilities intended for primary healthcare, early childhood learning, and senior citizens' activities, with attention given to construction standards and project implementation.
The construction program covers several types of community facilities, reflecting the municipality's efforts to address different public-service needs through infrastructure development. The inspections focused on ensuring that ongoing works meet construction requirements before the buildings are eventually turned over for public use.
In Barangay Bihiya, Mea inspected the construction of a Child Development Center alongside Barangay Chairperson Marivic Latoza and other local officials. The facility is intended to accommodate early childhood development programs and provide a dedicated learning environment for young children in the community.
Mea emphasized that construction quality remains a priority in implementing the municipality's infrastructure projects, particularly those intended for everyday community use. He called for continued attention to building materials and workmanship to ensure that completed facilities meet their intended purposes.
“Patuloy nating binabantayan ang mga proyektong ipinapatayo sa ating mga barangay upang matiyak na maayos ang pagkakagawa, dekalidad ang mga materyales, at mapapakinabangan ng ating mga kababayan ang mga pasilidad na ito. Mahalaga na ang bawat imprastrakturang ating itinatayo ay tumutugon sa tunay na pangangailangan ng komunidad, lalo na sa kalusugan, edukasyon, at kapakanan ng ating mga mamamayan,” Mea said.
In Barangay Bula, ongoing projects include a health center, a multipurpose building for senior citizens, and a Child Development Center intended to accommodate different community services. Meanwhile, in Barangay Lagalag, Mea inspected another health center and Child Development Center, with the municipal government reporting that the childcare facility would be fully air-conditioned.
Beyond monitoring construction, Mea stressed that the effectiveness of infrastructure investments ultimately depends on how completed facilities serve their intended beneficiaries. He emphasized the importance of developing public buildings that remain functional and responsive to the needs of local communities over time.
“Hindi lamang po natin tinitingnan kung gaano kabilis natatapos ang mga proyekto, kundi kung maayos ba ang pagkakagawa at kung ang mga pasilidad ay magiging kapaki-pakinabang sa ating mga kababayan sa mahabang panahon. Nais nating matiyak na ang bawat barangay ay may maayos na pasilidad para sa kalusugan, pag-aaral ng mga bata, at mga programang makatutulong sa ating mga senior citizen at iba pang sektor ng komunidad,” Mea said.
The ongoing construction of these facilities will require continued monitoring to ensure that building standards are maintained and the projects are completed according to their intended specifications. Once operational, the health centers, child development centers, and senior citizens' facility will expand the municipality's capacity to deliver essential services directly to communities in Bihiya, Bula, and Lagalag.
