Hey there, fellow nature lovers!  If you’ve ever strolled near Bitan-ag Creek, you know just how beautiful (and sometimes messy) it can be. Well, the fantastic Hapsay Sapa Team is stepping up to make sure that this precious waterway stays as stunning as it is vital for our community. Under the leadership of Mayor Rolando “Klarex” Uy, this dedicated crew recently took a deep dive—literally and figuratively—into assessing the creek’s overall health. They’re on a mission to tackle the flooding issues that often plague our city, especially during the rainy season. So grab a cup of coffee, sit back, and let’s chat about this awesome initiative!

On their recent adventure, the Hapsay Sapa Team, led by focal person Patrick Gabutina, roamed from Barangay Indahag all the way to Barangay Camaman-an. Alongside representatives from various departments like the City Housing and Urban Development Department (CHUDD) and the Limketkai Group of Companies, they walked the entire stretch of the creek. Talk about teamwork! They’re not just out to enjoy the view; they’re on the lookout for problems that could lead to flooding. Gabutina and his crew aim to identify the root causes of water overflow, especially as the rainy season approaches. It’s not just about keeping the creek pretty; it’s about protecting our homes and neighborhoods too!

A Call to Action: Let’s Keep Bitan-ag Creek Clean!

But wait, there’s more! The Hapsay Sapa Team isn’t just about assessments; they’re actively fighting against the litter that plagues our beloved creek. Every so often, they organize clean-up drives to ensure that trash doesn’t pile up and block the waterway. This isn’t just a one-time gig, folks! It’s an ongoing effort to educate and engage the community. Gabutina has a heartfelt plea for local residents: “Please, let’s keep the creek clean! Don’t throw your trash here!” 

Let’s be real—nobody wants to see our beautiful creek turn into a dumping ground. By working together, we can create a cleaner, greener environment for everyone. When we all pitch in, we not only enhance the natural beauty of Bitan-ag Creek, but we also help prevent flooding. So, if you’re a resident near the creek, remember to dispose of your trash responsibly. Every little bit helps, and together, we can make a huge difference! 

So, whether you’re a nature enthusiast, a concerned citizen, or just someone who loves a clean environment, join the Hapsay Sapa Team in their quest for a cleaner Bitan-ag Creek. Let’s make sure this beautiful resource continues to thrive for generations to come!

In a noteworthy development for the city's commuting public, the Local Public Transport Route Plan will take effect on June 3, 2025. Under the leadership of Mayor Klarex Uy's administration, the Roads and Traffic Administration is set to implement this comprehensive plan aimed at enhancing the efficiency and accessibility of public transport. Consequently, it is imperative for residents and commuters to familiarize themselves with the new routes to ensure a smooth transition.

The updated route plan encompasses various districts, each tailored to meet the specific needs of its community. For instance, District 1 and District 2 have dedicated links where commuters can access detailed information about the changes. By doing so, individuals can better understand the new developmental routes and how they may affect their daily travel.

Embracing Improvement: The Implications of the New Route Plan

Furthermore, the implementation of the Local Public Transport Route Plan signifies a commitment to improving urban mobility. As public transport becomes increasingly vital in urban areas, the city government recognizes the need for a more organized and efficient system. This initiative not only aims to reduce traffic congestion but also seeks to provide residents with a reliable means of transportation. 

In addition, the city's efforts to engage the public in understanding these changes reflect a proactive approach. By encouraging residents to explore the revised route plan and its implications, the administration emphasizes the importance of community involvement in public policy. Thus, as June 3 approaches, it is essential for the commuting public to stay informed and prepared to embrace these changes for a more efficient travel experience.
