Plaza Libertad is the city's bet for this year's "Pretty Plaza, Banwa Gwapa" project of the Metro Iloilo-Guimaras Economic Development Council (MIGEDC).
City Budget Officer and concurrent chair of the city's beautification program, Ninda Atinado said they have chosen Plaza Libertad after it underwent huge physical transformation to make it more attractive.
The presence of Dr. Jose Rizal's monument is an added fixture. Monuments of national heroes are usually placed in parks to remind the visitors of the freedom these heroes have fought for.
Atinado said the transformation of Plaza Libertad 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.
There will be evaluation today, Sept. 25, and another one in October also this year. The criteria for judging include cleanliness (25%), beautification (25%), safety and security (15%), and usefulness and sustainability (15%).
A cash prize of P30,000 awaits the grand winner while some P10,000 in consolation prizes will be given to non-winners.
The Pretty Plaza, Banwa Gwapa project started last year. It is aimed at giving recognition to the cleanest and most beautiful plaza among the seven local government units that comprise the MIGEDC, namely, the province of Guimaras, Iloilo City and the municipalities of Leganes, Oton, Pavia, San Miguel and Sta. Barbara.
