Cutcut Flyover near completion

According to Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) Pampanga District Engineering Office assistant district engineer Arnold Ocampo.

“The Cutcut Flyover will be completed this year since we have received the complete budget for it,” Ocampo said during the Pampanga Press Club’s KapiHann at Hann Resorts on March 1.

Engr. Ocampo showed a perspective of the flyover once it is completed.

In 2021, DPWH completed the first two phases of the project.

With the release of P100 million under the 2022 national budget, the implementation of its third phase is now in full swing.

The four-lane Cutcut Flyover including its approaches consists of six phases with a total project cost of ?700 million.

The 700-meter flyover including its approaches is expected to solve the bottleneck at the intersection of Porac-Angeles Road and the Friendship Highway.

The flyover is also seen to ease traffic along the Fil-Am Friendship Highway and Rizal Extension, which is among the city’s main access roads to eastern Pampanga.

Once completed, travel time from barangay Telabastagan in the City of San Fernando to Clark Freeport Zone via Friendship Highway will be reduced by at least 30 minutes.

CUTCUT FLYOVER

DPWH has assured the completion of the controversial Cutcut Flyover in Angeles City.

DPWH Third District Engineering Office Chief Engr. Arleen Beltran said the first two phases of the infrastructure project was already completed on June 2, 2021, ahead of its September 2021 expiry date.

The 2020-2021 General Appropriations Act has allotted P50 million while the United Project Management Office of the Department of Public Works and Highways has allotted another P50 million for the project.

The first two phases on the construction of the four-lane 700-lineal-meter flyover cover the bored piles and columns in the area.

Beltran also clarified the funding for the project amid concerns that there were no budget appropriated for the completion of the project.

She said the substructure of the Cutcut Flyover was initially funded in the CY 2020 General Appropriations Act (GAA) under "For Comprehensive Release," and funded again in CY 2021 GAA but was tagged "For Later Release."

"The locally-funded project is enrolled under the Multi-Year Obligational Authority with a total project cost of P600 million, which means that budget will be released every year until the completion of the project," said Beltran.

She added that the construction for the succeeding phases of the project will depend on the release of the budget.

“The local DPWH office was authorized to enter into a multi-year contract for the full project cost, and we would like to guarantee that the amount programmed for this multi-year project is included in their budget proposal for the ensuing years until its completion,” Beltran said.

The construction of the first phase of the Cutcut Flyover started on December 9, 2020 and the second phase on January 18, 2021, and were both completed in June 2021.

A total of 40.613 million was allotted from the 2021 GAA for the construction of the foundation of the flyover, while the project received P59.387 million in the previous year.

The whole project is expected to be completed in 2023 but will still depend on the timing of the releasing of the budget.

In the meantime, Mayor Lazatin urged the DPWH to install protective barriers and reflectors along the road to prevent accident in the area especially at night.

The vital intersection connects Porac town to Angeles City and the City of San Fernando to Fil-Am Friendship Circumferential Road all the way to the Clark Freeport Zone.

The Cutcut Flyover is expected to ease traffic congestion in-bound and out-bound along Porac, Filipino-American Friendship Highway and Rizal Extension in Angeles City

ANG KWENTO NG BUTO

Isang mayamang negosyante ang tumatanda na at alam nyang panahon na upang pumili siya ng taong papalit sa kanya sa pamamahala ng kanyang negosyo. Sa halip na pumili mula sa kanyang mga anak at mga direktor, nagdesisyon siya na gumawa ng isang kakaibang paraan. Ipinatawag nya ang 'young executives' ng kumpanya.

Ang sabi nya, "Panahon na para ako'y magpahinga at pumili ng papalit sa akin bilang CEO. At nagpasya ako na pumili ng isa sa inyo." Nagulat ang 'young executives' ngunit nagpatuloy ang boss. "Bawat isa sa inyo ay bibigyan ko ng BUTO ngayong araw na ito - isang espesyal na BUTO. Itanim ninyo ito, diligin at bumalik kayo dito 1 taon mula ngayon dala ang inyong tanim mula sa butong galing sa akin. Hahatulan ko kayo mula sa halamang dadalhin ninyo at ang taong mapipili ko ang papalit sa akin bilang bagong CEO."

Si Jim ay nanduon ng araw na iyon at gaya ng ibang kasama nya ay tumanggap din ng buto. Umuwi na sobra ang pananabik at ikinwento nya sa kanyang asawa ang pangyayari. Tinulungan siya nitong kumuha ng paso, lupa at pataba, at itinanim nila ang buto. Araw-araw ay dinidiligan ni Jim ang paso at inaabangan ang pagtubo ng buto. Matapos ang 3 linggo, ang ibang kasama ni Jim ay nag-uusap na sa kanilang mga buto at halaman na nagsisimula na nilang mapalaki.

Palaging tinitingnan ni Jim ang kanyang buto ngunit wala pa ding tumutubo mula doon.

Tatlong linggo, apat na linggo, limang linggo ang lumipas, wala pa din.

Ang mga kasama niya ay masayang nagkukwento tungkol sa kanilang mga halaman, ngunit si Jim ay wala pang napatutubo man lang...at nakaramdam na siya ng pagkabigo.

Anim na buwan ang lumipas - wala pa ding tumutubo sa paso ni Jim. Naisip tuloy nya na napatay nya ang kanyang buto. Ang mga kasama nya ay mayroon nang matataas at mayayabong na halaman - ngunit siya ay wala. Wala siyang binanggit sa kanyang mga kasama. Sa halip ay patuloy pa nyang diniligan at pinatabaan ang lupa sa kanyang paso - gusto nyang mapatubo pa din ang buto.

Lumipas ang isang taon at lahat ng 'young executives' ay dala ang kanilang mga halaman para makita ng kanilang CEO. Sabi ni Jim sa kanyang asawa ay 'di siya magdadala ng walang lamang paso.

Ngunit tugon ng kanyang asawa ay maging tapat sa mga pangyayari. Masama ang pakiramdam ni Jim at sa kanyang tingin ay 'yun na ang pinaka-nakakahiyang araw sa buong buhay nya, ngunit alam nyang tama naman ang kanyang asawa. Dinala nya ang kanyang walang lamang paso sa 'boardroom'. Pagdating nya ay namangha siya sa uri ng mga halamang dala ng kanyang mga kasama. Lahat ay magaganda - ang mga hugis at laki. Ibinaba ni Jim ang kanyang paso sa sahig. Pinagtawananan siya ng karamihan at ang iba ay nalungkot para sa kanya.

Nang dumating ang CEO, tiningnan nya ang silid at binati ang 'young executives'.

Si Jim naman ay nagtatago sa gawing likuran. "Wow...anong ganda ng mga halamang inyong napalaki at ang mga bulaklak nito!" wika ng CEO. "Ngayon, isa sa inyo ang hihiranging susunod na CEO."

Nakita ng CEO si Jim na nasa likod dala ang kanyang paso na walang laman. Ipinatawag niya ito sa kanyang financial director at dinala sa harapan. Nabigla si Jim at naisip nyang pumalpak siya at malamang ay paalisin na siya.

Nang nasa harap na siya ay tinanong ng CEO kung ano ang nangyari sa kanyang buto - at sinabi nya ang buong kwento.

Pinaupo ng CEO ang lahat maliban kay Jim. Tiningnan niya ito at sinabi sa 'young executives'..."Narito ang inyong susunod na CEO!"

"Siya ay si Jim!" 'Di makapaniwala si Jim sa narinig. Hindi nga nya napatubo ang kanyang buto.

"Paanong siya ang susunod na CEO?" tanong pa ng iba.

Sagot ng CEO, "Isang taon ang nakaraan, lahat kayo ay binigyan ko ng buto upang itanim, diligin, patubuin, alagaan at dalhin sa araw na ito. Ngunit ang ibinigay ko sa inyo ay patay na buto - at imposibleng tumubo ang mga ito."

"Lahat kayo maliban kay Jim ay dinalhan ako ng naggagandahang halaman. Pinalitan ninyo ang inyong mga buto nang malaman ninyong 'di ito tutubo. Si Jim lang ang may tapang at katapatan na magdala ng pasong buto lamang ang tanging laman. Kaya't siya ang magiging bagong Chief Executive Officer!"

Moral Lesaon:

Maging TAPAT po tayo anuman po ang ating mga ginagawa.

May kasabihan po na "Kung ano ang ating itinanim ay siya nating aanihin."

Plant honesty and reap trust.
Plant goodness and you reap friends.
Plant humility and reap greatness.
Plant perseverance and reap contentment.
Plant consideration and reap perspective.
Plant hard work and reap success.
Plant forgiveness and reap reconciliation.
Plant faith in GOD and reap a harvest.

Ang tanong "ANO BA ANG ITINATANIM NATIN NGAYON?"

PS. SANA MAY NAPULOT KAYO SA KWENTO NA TO.

Cutcut Barangay Hall

The New Cutcut Barangay Hall

As Barangay Kagawad and Chairman of Committee on Public Works, the improvement of Cutcut Barangay Hall is our a priority concern for this Barangay;

But Barangay Cutcut having limited funds and income necessitate the allocation for the improvements of Cutcut Barangay Hall.

sketch from my draft notes

February 7, 2011, when i proposed a resolution to the good Senator Frnaklin Drilon for the improvement of Cutcut Barangay Hall. This will be more advantageous and convenient, management-wise, resulting in increased efficiency in operations and improved services to the public.

almost the realization of  Cutcut Brgy Hall

But the realization of this project become possible thru the good Congresman Carmelo Lazatin and the support of Cutcut Barangay Council for the additional funds thru 20% Development Funds of the Barangay.

The newly constructed Barangay Hall of Cutcut, A.C.

The Cutcut Barangay Hall is lovingly dedicated to the constituents of Barangay Cutcut. May it serve as a reminder to each of us the untiring efforts and devotion to duty of Punong Barangay, former Congresman Tarzan Lazatin and Barangay Cutcut Council 2010-2013.

This dream project was done during our term as Barangay Kagawad and Chairman of Committee on Public Works, thanks to the Cutcut Barangay Council 2010-2013 and Cong. Tarzan Lazatin

Ang kailangan natin ay Matino, Masipag at Mahusay!

Sa aking mga kabarangay,

             Sa paglilingkod sa Barangay, Bayan o Lungsod hindi sapat yung ika’y Mahusay lamang pero hindi ka naman Matino, sapagkat may mga tagapaglingkod sa bayan na Matino nga pero hindi naman sila Mahusay at Masipag, may mga naninilbihan naman na Mahusay nga pero hindi naman sila Matino at Masipag, hindi rin sapat ang ikaw ay Masipag lamang pero hindi ka naman Matino at Mahusay.

Ang kailangan natin ay Matino, Masipag at Mahusay! Ang lahat ng katangian na yan ay nasa ating Punong Barangay Cecilia C. Nepomuceno.

Bilang Chairman sa Committee on Public Works and Infrastructures ako po’y nanguna sa pagpapagawa ng mga pa-trabaho publiko, tulad ng mga daan, rehabilitasyon ng mga daycare center, barangay hall at daluyan ng tubig sa ating lugar, lahat po ng ito’y naisakatuparan sa tulong at suporta ng ating masipag na Kapitana Cecilia   Nepomuceno.

May mga ilang halimbawa na nagpapatunay sa ating Kapitana ng mga nasambit ko na katangian - Matino, Mahusay at Masipag. Tulad ng proyektong daluyan ng tubig, ito’y naipatapos sa takdang      panahon. Ang rehabilitasyon ng mga Daycare Center bago sumapit ang pagbubukas ng klase ng mga bata, bagamat walang sapat na pondo para sa materyales at gastos sa labor, ito’y hindi naging imposible sa ating Kapitana na maipatapos ang nasabing proyekto sa takdang panahon.

Sa unang buwan ng aming panunungkulan, agad na naipagawa ang mga Barangay Oupost sa Purok 6 at Purok 1. Ang mapanatiling Malinis ang buong barangay at maging maliwanag sa tuwing pagsapit ng dilim ay isa sa kanyang   pangunahing proyekto, patunay dyan ang pagkakaroon natin ng bagong truck ng basura at mga kaakibat na kagamitan sa paghahakot ng mga ito.

Sa pagpapagawa ng mga daan dito sa ating Barangay tulad ng sa Sitio Mali, bagamat isa lamang Eskinita ang nakatakdang gawin, hindi naging mahirap sa kanya na maipatapos ang iba pang daan dahil sa kanyang pagsisinop at kanyang determinasyon na maisagawa ang proyekto na hindi lamang umaasa sa pondo ng barangay.

Nang nagkaroon tayo ng pagkakataon na mabigyan ng pondo ng ating Congresman Carmelo Lazatin ng kalahating milyon piso para sa pagpapagawa ng Barangay Hall, malugod po natin itong tinanggap, pero batid natin sa Cutcut Barangay Council na hindi sapat ang halaga na ito upang maipatapos ang ating barangay hall sa ganyang halaga. Bago inumpisahan ang pagsasagawa ng ating barangay hall, bilang Chairman sa Committee on Public Works and Infrastructures sinabi ko sa ating kapitan ng ang pondo na binigay ng ating Congresman ay hindi sapat para maipatapos ang proyektong ito. Hindi nagdalawang salita ang ating Kapitana na ipatupad at isagawa agad ang ating Barangay Hall. Nakita nyo naman po sa ngayon kung gaano kaganda ito. Lahat ng pagkukulang, lalo na sa Labor at pambili ng materyales para sa finishing, ceiling at electrical ng ating barangay hall ay nagawaan ng paraan ng ating Kapitana. Ito po  ang tinatawag na malasakit at hangarin ng tunay na paglilingkod sa Barangay.

Madami pa na naging serbisyo publiko ang naisagawa ng ating Kapitana, hindi po sapat ang kapirasong papel na ito upang masambit ko sa inyo ang lahat.

Ang mga patunay na ito ay ilan lamang sa kakayanan at katangian ng ating Kapitana  ng tapat na  paglilingkod, hangad po naming maipagpatuloy muli ang pagsisilbi sa ating Barangay.

- Kagawad Roy Lozano Ogurida

Mission and Vision

San Roque Fiesta - August 15 & 16, 2010

Yearly fiesta in honor of San Roque. Unlike other parts of the country San Roque is celebrated here in Barangay Cutcut on every August 16. San Roque is the patron saint of the sick and the invalids.

San Roque was born around 1295 in a rich family in Montpellier, France. Tradition says that San Roque had a birthmark with a red cross on his chest.

His father died when he was 12 and his mother died when he was 20. He joined the Franciscan order soon after that and distributed his fortune among the poor.

San Roque then set out for Italy as a mendicant pilgrim and stopped along the way to care for the victims of the plague that was ravaging Italy at that time. He was reputed to have performed many miracles of healing everywhere he went.

On his return incognito to Montpellier he was arrested as a spy by order of his own uncle and thrown into prison, where he languished five years and died on 16 August 1327. Only when he was dead did the townspeople recognized him (by a birthmark). Soon, he was credited with continuing to work miracle cures against the pestilence, and he was soon canonized. Almost identical stories were related about numerous other saints.

According to some accounts the history of the feast of San Roque in the Philippines started in 1637. Residents of the town of San Roque came down from the mountains where they had contracted malaria. But they were miraculously cured after holding a procession in honour of San Roque. It is said that the procession was held in a fiesta atmosphere, with a lot of dancing and singing.

The Sangguniang Kabataan (Sk)

The Sangguniang Kabataan or SK (Youth Council) is the governing body in every chapter of the Katipunan ng Kabataan (Youth Federation). Each barangay in the Philippines is mandated by law to have its own chapter of the Katipunan ng Kabataan in which the members elect their officers called as the Sangguniang Kabataan. The Sangguniang Kabataan is an off-shoot of the KB or the Kabataang Barangay (Village Youth) which was abolished when the Local Government Code of 1991 was enacted.

The Sangguniang Kabataan is the youth legislature in every local village or community. It also initiates policies, programs and projects for the development of youth in their respective political territories. The Chairman of the Sangguniang Kabataan acts as the Chief Executive of the Sanggunian (Council) while the Kagawad (Councilor) as the legislative council. The Kagawads approve resolutions of the Sanggunian and appropriates the money allotted to the council, a share in the revenue of the Barangay.

The Chairman automatically sits in the Sanggunian Barangay (Village Council) as ex-officio member. He automatically gets chairmanship of the Committee on Youth and Sports, one of the standing committees in the village council. Every Sangguniang Kabataan is then federated into municipal and city federations, then city and municipal federations are federated into a provincial federation.

The barangay SK Chairman represents the barangay in the municipal or city federation. The presidents of the city and municipal federation presidents becomes member of the provincial federation and the provincial federation president becomes member of the national federation. The presidents of highly urbanized and independent component cities completes the membership in the national federation. The entire membership in the Federation elect the national federation president who automatically sits in the National Youth Commission as ex-officio member.

The national federation is governed by the National Executive Board while the municipal, city to provincial federation is governed by the Local Executive Committee composed mostly of the seven regularly elected officers of the federation.

Since 1992 up to the present, there have been three simultaneous nationwide SK elections held in the Philippines which each term lasting from a minimum of three to five years due to amendment of the regular 3-year term limit of the council. After every poll, election of federation officers follows. The elected presidents in the municipal and city federations sit as ex-officio member in the municipal or city council respectively while the provincial president represent the youth in the provincial board. All of these ex-officio members automatically chair the council's committee on youth and sports development.
