Rodrigo “Rigo” Duterte II, son of First Congressional District Representative Paolo “Pulong” Duterte, led the turnover ceremony of the multi-purpose building and evacuation center in Barangay 20-B Poblacion, Davao City on Wednesday.
The turnover ceremony coincided with the celebration of the 48th Araw ng Barangay. The new facility aims to equip communities with safe spaces.
Rigo, grandson and namesake of former President Rodrigo R. Duterte, is hopeful that the barangay officials and the residents will take care of the facilities.
“Nalipay ko na nahatagan mo aning mga pasilidad kay kabalo ko makatabang ni sa inyo. Hangyo lang ko na atong kining ampingan,” Rigo said.
The facilities will also provide residents with a location to help them throughout the situation they are dealing with.
Barangay 20-B chieftain Gina Murillo, together barangay the staff and the residents, welcomed Rigo and expressed her gratitude to Rep. Duterte and the entire First Congressional District staff.
“Sugod pa lang jud ni para karong tuiga sa daghang serbisyo. Nasayud mi nga atong congressman (Duterte) anaa dira para mangita ug paagi kung sa unsa matabangan pa niya ta’g samot, hilabi na sa mga nanginahanglan,” Murillo said.
Murillo said the facilities would be a center for various community services and events, including awareness drives, conferences, and other public greetings. She added that the building would be a central fixture in the community and would contribute to growth and development.
Last year, Rigo also led the turnover of similar facilities to barangays Talomo and 39-D as well as a gymnasium and a funeral home (Lamayan ng Bayan) at the Talomo’s Barangay Hall Satellite Office at Royal Valley in Bangkal, Davao City.
