Meanwhile, 2nd District Board Member Onofre Respicio in his message at Barangay Villaflores, Makilala explained the importance of potable water to the community. He also said that the unity of the provincial officials is a huge factor in delivering various infrastructure projects to the barangays; advising the barangay officials to follow the same model of administration for them to become successful in their future endeavors.

In an interview with one of the teachers assigned at Barangay Baynosa, Tulunan, Mrs. Ritchelle Alonsagay said the water system will surely be a big help to the residents of the community because they now have a source of potable water.
