TALITAY,
Maguindanao ---This municipal government has countered allegations that its municipal
government is not functional.
Mayor Allan Sabal, in an interview with
Mindanao Expose’ at the recently concluded meeting of President Rodrigo Roa
Duterte with officials from local government units throughout Visayas and
Mindanao held in Cebu City, said that Talitay has a functional government.
“In fact, we still continue with our programs
and projects started by my younger brother,
then mayor of Talitay,” said Mayor Sabal.
Sabal shared that all the projects from year 2017
are now being continued and will be finished this calendar year.
“I tell you, I am visible there. I may not be
around everyday at the office but because I would also regularly visit our nine
barangays. I don’t even spare my weekends just to serve them. Most of our
constituents are either fishermen or farmers,” the mayor said.
Mayor Sabal said they have one barangay which
is under water all year round and others slightly watered, while the rest are
agricultural lands.
“That makes our livelihood… farming and
fishing. I look into this matter since I would want to bring the government
closer to the people,” he emphasized.
Mayor Sabal said he would always remind the
barangay chairmen and officials to deliver true public service.
“I told them should they see any questionable
movement on the ground, they must coordinate with us and also with our local
authorities. That is what we have been reiterating in our recent Peace and Order
Council meetings,” he said.
Talitay is politically subdivided into nine
barangays: Bintan (Bentan), Gadungan, Kiladap, Kilalan, Kuden, Makadayon,
Manggay, Pageda, and Talitay Proper. (GILMHAR
