BARANGAY SAN LUIS









Barangay San Luis through the chairmanship of Mhickay Mulingbayan set up their annual development fund together with her SK councilors for this year. A total of sixty-four thousand seven hundred ninety eight and eighty eight centavos (64 798.88) were allotted for the developmental project for the present year.

Last calendar year, the organization focuses its program in strengthening its sports development in relation to the past standings of its youth in past sports league in the municipality. The goal for the earlier year was to reinforce the skills of their youth to be able to compete side by side with their fellow counterparts. The body decided to participate in several sports league in the municipality. Most of the fund for the sports development program was accommodated in providing sports uniforms for the participating youth.

The projects that were designed to be implemented in the third and fourth quarter of the previous year were not put into action. The SK officials decided to keep it as a savings for later projects most likely construction ones which needs a vast amount of funds. The body therefore kept in mind its limited amount of funds for the construction to push through.

For this year, the fund focuses on enriching other skills of the youth. Eleven thousand pesos was allocated for the support of the barangay candidates in the last Mr. and Ms. Teen Mamburao. One pair of contestants (one boy and a girl) was selected to be the representative of the barangay for the search. Although the contestants weren’t able to bag the crown, still it’s the fine representation of the youth in Barangay San Luis that ascend above all. The body found it worthwhile that they decided to select promising individuals which represented the barangay excellently.

For the Sports development program, twenty four thousand pesos was allocated (24 000). A summer league was conducted in the newly constructed basketball court near the barangay hall. There are two divisions namely; the junior and midget division. In the respective divisions, most players are in a very young age for the reason that the body decided it to harness their sports skills at a very young age. However, problems arise in implementing the summer league. Electric bills were shouldered by the body and unfortunately the consumption of the electricity exceeds the expected consumption. The SK Kagawads of the barangay volunteered to be the committee and other sports league officials to save out funds so that the allotted money was diverted to the electric bills. Awarding ceremony was scheduled on May 15. Through the generosity of our SK Municipal Federation President, he gladly donated trophies, medals and cash prizes to help out in our endeavors.
For the third and fourth quarter, the body scheduled for the construction of lights in the basketball court. This was scheduled for implementation because usually the sports league was held at daytime for the lack of proper lighting in the basketball court. Therefore, most players weren’t able to attend and play in their scheduled game because most players attend school at daytime or have work. If the construction push through, future sports league may be held at night so that most players will be able to participate in their scheduled game.

Lastly, five thousand pesos (5 000) was allocated for the training tools and seminar for future travels that will improve the leadership skills and employ proper governance among our constituents.
