THE evaluation of entries in this year’s “Pretty Plaza, Banwa Gwapa” project of the Metro Iloilo-Guimaras Economic Development Council (MIGEDC) has began.
The project, which was started last year, aims to recognize the cleanest and most beautiful plaza among seven local government units comprising the MIGEDC.
MIGEDC is composed of the province of Guimaras, Iloilo City and the municipalities of Leganes, Oton, Pavia , San Miguel and Sta. Barbara in Iloilo province.
Iloilo City’s entry to this year’s competition is Plaza Libertad.
City budget officer and concurrent chair of the city beautification program, Ninda Atinado said Plaza Libertad was chosen because of its transformation and the presence of the monument of the country’s national hero, Dr. Jose Rizal.
Atinado said the transformation includes the improvement of the plumbing in the plaza’s comfort stations, the installation of new tiles and other electrical works, and the restoration of the surrounding fences.
The children’s playground, basketball court, park benches and the plaza’s herbal garden likewise underwent further improvements, she added.
The entries will be evaluated on September 25 and October.
The criteria for judging include cleanliness (25%), beautification (25%), safety and security (15%), and usefulness and sustainability (15%).
A cash prize of P30,000 await the grand winner while some P10,000 in consolation prizes will be given to non-winners.
