Barangay Lumbia – Cagayan De Oro City
If you’re trying to catch up on what’s going on in Barangay Lumbia, a lot of it revolves around creating more opportunities and making sure residents are looked after. The local government is active with several community-focused projects.
Local Governance and Key Officials
The barangay’s initiatives are led by its local officials. The team actively working on recent projects includes:
- Punong Barangay: Alexander V. Torralba
- Barangay Kagawad: Jan Jan Calam, Aerol Torralba, Rosalie L. Avenido, Shella T. Ramos, and Bitang Tejor
- SK Chairperson: Nikka Adriano
Community Programs and Initiatives
One of the big pushes right now is for local jobs. Kagawad Jan Jan Calam is heading an effort to set up a Barangay Public Employment Service Desk. The idea is to make it easier for people in Lumbia to find work by partnering with groups like TESDA and companies such as Gaisano Uptown. To protect job seekers, Kagawad Calam also attended a seminar on fighting illegal recruitment, so the barangay can give proper guidance to residents.
For families, the SK Lumbia Council has a program with Shriner’s International offering free medical help for childrenwith specific conditions like clubfoot or burn injuries, covering all costs. The Barangay Nutrition Committee also holds regular meetings to keep local health programs on track.
You might have also noticed some action at the local market. Kapitan Torralba and Kagawad Shella Ramos led an inspection where they got rid of defective weighing scales (timbangan). It’s a straightforward move to make sure shoppers get what they pay for.
