The Department of Interior and Local Government gave Barangay Sasa a certificate of recognition for properly handling cases involving Violence Against Women and Children (VAWC).
DILG City director Vicky Sarcena gave the plaque to Barangay Sasa chairman Jerry Licarte on August 7.
Sarcena said Barangay Sasa, under Licarte's leadership, achieved an ideal level of functionality with a rating of 80.5 on its Barangay Violence Against Women (VAW) desk for 2022.
Licarte, for his part, is very proud and happy for the recognition given by DILG since the award signifies that he is doing well in handling VAWC cases.
He said since he assumed office as barangay captain in 2018, he made it a priority to create a desk that will handle VAWC cases.
"We made sure matabangan namo tanan naay problema sa VAWC nga gidala sa barangay," Licarte said.
Meanwhile, since he assumed office as the new Barangay captain of Sasa Licarte in coordination with the office of second district congressman, Vincent Garcia has already constructed six covered gymnasiums in his beloved barangay.
Licarte said he made it a priority to construct more gyms in his barangays since this structure is very important to the lives of the residents.
"Kaning gymasiums dilang dulaan ug basketball ug uban pang sports kung dili diri sad ginahimo ang mga social events kada purok," Licarte said.
He said instead of looking for a venue to hold their events and paying a rental fee, Barangay Sasa residents can use these gyms instead without extra cost on their part.
Having served Barangay Sasa for the past 23 years, starting as a barangay councilor, Licarte said he knows the importance of infrastructure developments aside from basic services to the needs of his beloved constituents.
Licarte said aside from gyms, he also initiated a lot of road improvement projects in his first term as barangay chairman, like the concreating of De Guzman Street in Kilometer Sasa, which had not been done by previous barangay captains for the past 43 years.
