Imelda Village emerged the city's best performing barangay for the third straight year, this time besting 24 others which qualified for the annual contest sponsored by the city, through the Special Services Division (SSD) of the mayor's office.
For its three-peat, the community led by punong barangay (PB) Arturo Rapelo Jr. won P55,000 cash prize presented during the awards rites last Thursday at the Abada Hall of the Teachers' Camp.
Imelda Village received an additional cash of P30,000 also for having topped earlier the 2010 search for the city's most outstanding "Lupong Tagapamayap." The barangay fast improved on its third-place finish in 2008 and runner-up position in 2009.
Rapelo attributed the twin awards to the human resource development program of the barangay, leadership adjustments to various situations, links with various organizations and proper documentation of programs.
"I am sure the performance you have accomplished will be remembered," city mayor Mauricio Domogan told the awardees after presenting the awards with city councilor Peter Fianza and other officials.
"You are the front-liners in governance hence we can not underestimate the vital role you play," the mayor added.
City Camp Proper under PB barangay Aurora Abellera finished second and received P45,000 while Loakan Proper led by PB Jesusa Vizcaya took the third slot, good for P35,000 cash prize.
Irisan, the city's barangay in terms of area and population headed by PB Thomas Dumalti received P30,000 for finishing fourth while Pinget under PB Teresita de Guzman got P20,000 for ranking fifth.
Irisan added P20,000 to its coffers for its second-place ranking in the "lupon" contest, followed by Loakan Proper which received P15,000 and Pacdal which got P10,000 as incentive.
SSD chief Noel Mabutas praised the two panels of judges who spent months validating the reports of the barangays which competed in the twin contests. He also used the awards program as venue for also citing the city's partner agencies and volunteers in the "Pasadang Pambarangay" grassroots service delivery of city hall.
