Oaminal distributed 100 brand-new rescue vehicles to 15 local government units (LGUs) in Misamis Occidental.

During the turnover ceremony held on Friday, June 14, at the Asenso Misamis Occidental Sports and Cultural Center, Governor Oaminal emphasized the critical need for such vehicles during emergencies, disasters, and calamities. He urged the recipients to maintain and use the equipment properly.

“Adunay 490 ka barangays ang atong probinsya. Na deliver na nato ang first 300 ug ang ika-400 karong adlawa in the 11 months of the Asenso Administration. Ang atong provincial government in 2 years time naka allocate ug P440 million for the procurement of vehicles,” Governor Oaminal stated.

In an interview, Oroquieta City Mayor Lemuel Meyrick Acosta expressed his gratitude, highlighting the project's impact on delivering essential services to the community. Barangay Captain Ambisionado C. Gabrinez Jr. from Barangay Lumipac, Baliangao, also shared his thanks, noting how the new vehicle addresses residents' needs during emergencies, especially calamities. “Dako kaayo nig ikatabang sa among barangay kay dugay na kaayo nangandoy ang mga tao nga naa’y problema dili nami maglisod og pangita ug sakyanan para madala ang amoang katawhan nga na hospital ug kinsa man gani ang nanginahanglan,” he said. Landing Barangay Captain Nelson Gumahag echoed this sentiment, saying, “Salamat kaayo Gov sa imong gihatag nga rescue vehicles sa among barangay.”

These new units are part of the fourth batch of rescue vehicles distributed by the provincial government. The next batch of vehicles will soon be given to other beneficiaries.

The funding for these transport vehicles came from the provincial government with support from the 1st and 2nd Districts of Misamis Occidental. This distribution aligns with the provincial government's programs on peace and order, health, agriculture, tourism, education, and sports, aiming to empower village officials to efficiently deliver basic services to their constituents.
