Residents of Barangay Mabiga in Hermosa, Bataan marked a historic milestone on July 1, 2025, with the inauguration and ceremonial turnover of a newly constructed Level III Potable Water System. This priority infrastructure project was funded under the Local Government Support Fund – Support to Barangay Development Program (LGSF-SBDP) for Fiscal Year 2023.
With a total allocation of Php 4 million, the project was completed on March 9, 2025, and is now fully operational. It features a 1,680-meter distribution line built with 2-inch High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) pipes and a 10,000-gallon storage capacity, enabling the delivery of safe and sustainable drinking water to more than 100 households.
The event was led by Mayor Anne Loraine C. Adorable-Inton, together with Vice Mayor Patrick S. Rellosa, former Mayor Antonio Joseph R. Inton, Barangay Captain Roberto L. Rosel, Municipal Engineer Jasmin M. Recibe, other municipal and barangay officials, and residents who gathered to celebrate the long-awaited project.
Representing the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) Bataan, Local Government Operations Officer II Russel Jasper Rabacio delivered a message on behalf of Provincial Director Belina T. Herman, who hailed the project as an example of the government’s commitment to inclusive, community-based development.
“This inauguration is not the end. It is a beginning — a beginning of better health outcomes, more economic opportunities, and a stronger sense of community. Let us protect this water system, maintain it well, and ensure that it truly benefits every family in Mabiga — today and in the years to come,” the message stated.
The LGSF-SBDP is a national development initiative that supports barangays formerly identified as affected by conflict and influenced by insurgency. It is implemented under the government’s Whole-of-Nation Approach to End Local Communist Armed Conflict (NTF-ELCAC), which aims to deliver peace dividends through infrastructure, social services, and governance reforms.
Former Mayor Antonio Joseph R. Inton, who was invited as a guest, shared his hope that the continuous improvement and development of the barangay and municipality will serve as a direct response to community needs.
For Mayor Adorable-Inton, the project signifies more than just an infrastructure output. It marks the start of a long-term development for Barangay Mabiga, with plans underway to help transition the area from being referred to as an upland barangay to a fully developed highland locality.
Barangay Captain Roberto Rosel expressed gratitude to all implementing partners, emphasizing how the community’s active participation during planning and implementation ensured that the system would be responsive to the needs of end users.
The ceremony concluded with the symbolic opening of the main valve — ushering in not just water, but also hope, dignity, and development. For the residents of Mabiga, this marks the end of a long wait and the beginning of a more sustainable and resilient future.
