Since he assumed office as the new Barangay captain of Sasa in 2018, Jerry Licarte, in coordination with the office of second district congressman Vince 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 dili lang 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.
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.
Aside from road construction and improvements projects, Licarte also focussed on concreating the wooden footbridges in seven coastal puroks in Barangay Sasa.
The footbridges, which cost P400,000, greatly help the residents in these areas since they give them security when they go in and out of their place.
"The concrete footbridges replace the wooden worn-out foot bridges in the area, which is dangerous for the residents," Licarte said.
Aside from making life easier and safer for residents, concreating footbridges also promotes business and cleanliness in these puroks.
