On July 06, 2019, City Mayor Jose E. Relampagos called a meeting with quarry owners who are operating in the city to solve issues relating to barangay road damages where most of it according to reports, were caused by their heavy vehicles.
They were reminded that heavy vehicles should primarily pass along the national highway and as much as possible, refrain from operating during rainy days. In addition, OIC-City Engineer Jun Rabanos suggested that the quarry owners should fill-in sand and gravel on the said roads if there are damages caused by their trucks.
Thus, the City Mayor directed the owners to sign a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with the barangay officials in the area they are operating to ensure the condition of barangay roads.
The owners were eventually amenable of the City Mayor’s directive.
