Project Proposal Proper
Majority of the residents of Brgy. Mataque knows that the absence of street lights cause many
accidents, specifically during at night. In Brgy. Mataque, most of its roadway are potholed and
uneven that can cause as a primary source of accidents, especially if a person did not see the
road due to the darkness of the area. Also, the unavailability of street lights may increase the
amount of crime to people walking alone the streets. The criminals find it as an opportunity to
harmed people on foot and to do illegal activities; examples of it are holdups, riding in tandem,
pickpocketing, trading of illegal drugs, vandalism, gang violence, harassments, and many more.
This is why our government needs to pay attention and address these kinds of crimes and find a
solution to minimize this kind of acts.
Installing and maintaining street lights is necessary, thus, a great help not only to the residents
but also to those people who passed by during at night. Importance of visibility and clearer
surroundings makes the evening much safer.
The Ilaw for Every Juan Para sa mas Ligtas na Daan Peoject aims to enhance the safety,
security, and overall well-being of residents in Barangay Mataque by replacing the existing street
lighting infrastructure. The project will involve the installation of energy-efficient LED lights,
replacing outdated fixture. By doing so, we aim to reduce energy consumption, lower
maintenance costs, and create a brighter and safer environment for the community.
