Barangay Sasa's 7 transport vehicles offer genuine public service to residents

 

Being a neophyte public barangay captain can be a challenging task for any person.

But despite the challenges he is facing, Barangay Sasa barangay chief Jerry Licarte was able to do his job well with flying colors.

One of his exemplary works of Licarte in his first term as barangay captain was to purchase more vehicles for his barangay to serve his beloved constituents better.

From two vehicles, Barangay Sasa, under the leadership of Licarte, now has seven service vehicles to serve his constituents.

These vehicles include a 24/7 barangay ambulance, firetrucks, and a dump truck.

Licarte said the barangay also has 15 trained responders if ever disaster strikes in his barangay, such as fires, flooding, or any emergency.

He said he prioritized purchasing more vehicles for his barangay so that they serve his constituents well in their needs.

The ambulance or patient medical transport system is considered a revolutionary and game changer since it is accessible to all Barangay Sasa residents.

Sick patients living in Sasa who need immediate transport to the hospital need to call or inform the barangay, and they will avail of the services of the barangay's ambulance that will transport them to a hospital free of charge.

The ambulance, equipped with all the necessary emergency medical equipment, will transport the patient back to their house after hospitalization free of charge as well.

"This patient medical transport service is available 24/7 to all Barangay Sasa residents," Licarte said.

Licarte said he decided to implement this worthwhile barangay service since he wants to help all his constituents who do not have the money to bring their sick loved ones to the hospital.

"This service is available to all Sasa residents; all you need to do is to contact us if you want to avail our ambulance," Licarte added.

Barangay Sasa's patient medical transport service is a game changer; other barangays in the city can also implement it. Licarte might be a neophyte as Barangay Sasa chairman, but his heart for the public is like no other.
