Barangay 39-D Poblacion in Davao City expressed thanks after the official turnover of the new multipurpose building from the office of Congressman Paolo “Pulong” Duterte.
Rodrigo “Rigo” Duterte II, who came on behalf of his father, led the turnover.
Residents warmly received Rigo who said he is glad to be part of the turnover of the multipurpose building.
“Gikalipay nako na nakig duyog ako kaninyo para sa opisyal nga pag turn over aning mga mapuslanun kaau nga multipurpose building pinaagi sa pagpaningkamut sa opisina ni Congressman Pulong Duterte,” Rigo said in his message during the turnover ceremony.
The grandson and namesake of former President Rodrigo Duterte, is hoping that the barangay officials and residents will take care of the said building and that it will give them a place to help them amid the crisis that they are currently dealing with.
“Dili pud unta kamu mag sawa sa pag imbitar kanako sa inyung mga pasundayag ug unta dili kamu maulaw muduol sa opisina ni congressman pulong ug kay Mayor Baste Duterte kung aduna kamo’y buot iduol kay mao lang kini ang paagi para kami maka balos man lang sa inyung walay pu-as nga supporta sa amung pamilya,” he said.
Earlier this month, Rigo also led the turnover of a gymnasium and a funeral home (Lamayan ng Bayan) at the Talomo’s Barangay Hall Satellite Office at Royal Valley in Bangkal.
The “Lamayan ng Bayan” is considered the first funeral home to offer an accessible venue to Davao City residents who could not afford decent funeral service for their departed loved ones.
The newly-built gymnasium will be utilized for crowd gatherings, assemblies, and activities of the barangay and other local government agencies.
