Kalsadang Mas Maliwanag, Mas Maaliwalas, at Mas Ligtas para sa Pamilyang Valenzuelano!

In a significant step towards enhancing public safety and urban development, the City Government of Valenzuela headed by Mayor WES Gatchalian and through the funding of the Office of Senator WIN Gatchalian, inaugurated a new street lighting and CCTV Project at Dalandanan National High School and 3S Center Pasolo, June 20, 2024 which marked the completion of Phase I of the extensive street lighting project.

The project spans a total length of 40 kilometers of secondary roads, both in the first and second districts. It consists of 1,241 street lights and 237 CCTVs with a total project cost of PhP 351,200,000. 

This initiative underscores the city’s commitment to improving public safety and enhancing the quality of life for its residents. The newly installed street lights and CCTVs are expected to significantly improve visibility during the night, eliminating criminal activities, and aiding in traffic management. The 1,241 street lights will ensure that major thoroughfares are well-lit, reducing the risk of accidents and enhancing the overall sense of security for residents. Additionally, the 237 CCTVs installed across the project area will provide comprehensive surveillance, enabling faster response times from law enforcement and enhancing the city’s ability to monitor and address public safety concerns effectively.

In his message during the ceremony, Mayor WES said “Ngayong gabi pormal nating bubuksan ang mga ilaw para sa mas maliwanag, mas maaliwalas, at mas ligtas na Valenzuela City, higit na 19 po na major and secondary roads po ang iilawan natin at higit tatlong daang milyon po ang inilaan natin para sa kaligtasan ng ating mga mamamayan. Ito po ang pinakamalaking streetlight project sa history po ng Valenzuela kaya natutuwa po ako na gagawin na po natin ito. Ito na siguro ang oras na ang mga Pamilyang Valenzuelano ay maglalakbay nang hindi natatakot, di na tayo matatakot sa mga snatcher, hindi na tayo takot na umuwi ang mga ating mga anak na kababaihan nang gabi, at mas mapapaigting pa ng kapulisan ang kanilang trabaho sa pagbabantay po ng ating lansangan.” [Tonight, we are turning these lights on for a brighter and safer Valenzuela City. More than 19 major and secondary roads are covered by this project and we allotted more than three hundred million pesos for this project. This is the biggest street lighting project in Valenzuela to date, and I can now confidently say that every Pamilyang Valenzuelano will now feel safe and secure when going home at night, and this will also help the police to patrol our community better.]
