BARANGAY AMPID I
I am very fortunate that I belong in a safe community. The typical problem in our Barangay is the flood near the creeks and before the creek overflow and wash out the residents, the barangay has safeguarded the residents in the respective evacuation areas. In Ampid I, every subdivision and compounds have their own multi-purpose covered court not just for recreational but this serves as an evacuation area when disaster happens. The barangay with the coordination of the municipal they prepare (1) Relief goods, (2) Rescue boards, (3) Monitoring the water level, and (4) Power Supply, generators. Before the rainy season comes, the barangay has been coordinating with the municipal in repairing the flood control, declogging the drainage and mosquito fogging.What’s something to be proud of with my barangay is that they have their own ambulances and it is very helpful for the less fortunate residents of Ampid 1 in case they can’t afford the private ambulance.
Overall, Ampid 1 is safe, it is just that the residents near the creeks are at risks.

In every barangay, problems are inevitable. In barangay Ampid I the top two problem are Waste Management and Traffic.
Waste management has been Ampid I’s problem because of insufficient dump trucks. The dump trucks are even giving up with the volume of garbage they collect and their size aren’t enough to collects tons of garbage everyday.
The irresponsibility of some residents of Ampid I when it comes to their garbage is alarming, they always blame the garbage trucks for not collecting their garbage so they tend to dump it anywhere they want.

The problem of traffic is causing too much headache, because of that road widening and the widening of the bridge is the solution.
In making this blog post, if there is something to be proud of with my barangay is that their fast action. Honestly, I feel safe with my barangay and this could be a role model to other barangays in the Philippines.
As a result, within this year Barangay Ampid I was given a recognition for getting a grade of GOOD in Red-tape Act Survey.
I am proud of my barangay :)
I would like to thank Ms. Michelle Cruz the Barangay Secretary for making the interview possible :)
