DAGUPAN CITY – The city welcomed the new year through a bustling start by again adding its expanding fleet of service vehicles.
Catholic priest Jasper Hebron, Mayor Belen Fernandez, City Administrator lawyer Farah Decano and the city department heads led the blessing of the city’s brand new shuttle bus and three motorcycle units during the flag-raising ceremony at the city plaza on January 7.
The 51-seater bus is in addition to this city’s coasters which will all be used for ferrying Balon Dagupan athletes going to and from venues of competitions.
The transportation will be immediately used to carry the athletes for the coming Region 1 Athletic Association (R1AA) Meet.
The bus will also transport barangay officials and department heads during their “Lakbay Aral” study tours as well as those attending other official events within and outside the city.
Meanwhile, the motorcycle units will be used by the Public Order and Safety Office (POSO) for their continuous traffic monitoring.
Mayor Fernandez disclosed that the service vehicles collectively cost around eight million pesos.
“We are making sure that all the vehicles and equipment that we acquired were all brand new for the safety and convenience of Dagupeรฑos, especially our children,” added Fernandez. (Verdelle De Vera/CIO)
