BACOLOD CITY – The call of Bacolodnons to restore the Bacolod Public Plaza to its past glory is being answered, one day, one sweep, one truckload of waste at a time, a press release from the Bacolod Communications Office said
Now on its fourth day, the city-led cleanup drive under Mayor Greg Gasataya’s administration is steadily transforming the heart of Bacolod, turning public clamor into visible action. Teams from the General Services Office, City Engineer’s Office, and other key departments are working daily to remove trash, overgrowth, and eyesores that have long overshadowed the beauty of the historic plaza.
“The people have spoken, and we are acting on it,” said Gasataya. “Our plaza is more than just a park; it is where Bacolodnons gather, rest, and celebrate. We will bring back its dignity, safety, and beauty for everyone to enjoy.”
Images from the ongoing cleanup show cleared walkways, rejuvenated green spaces, and a plaza slowly reclaiming its welcoming atmosphere for families, students, and senior citizens who frequent the area.
The city government will continue these efforts in the coming days, ensuring that the Bacolod Public Plaza remains a safe, clean, and vibrant space at the heart of the city’s daily life.
This is part of Gasataya’s broader push for cleaner, safer public spaces across Bacolod, anchored on the belief that a well-kept city reflects the pride and discipline of its people. (news/ photo by bco)
