The Local Government Unit of Lumbayanague, Lanao del Sur is happy to announce that two (2) of our dream projects for our beloved Lumbayanague have finally come to reality.
1. Level II Water Filtration System located at Brgy. Kabasaran (Pob), this municipality.
This project was contemplated under the administration of Mayor Salamona Langlang Asum and VM Sultan Arimao S. Asum through the initiative of then Municipal Administrator, now Mayor Jamal L. Asum, after a thorough and constant communication with the Ministry of Public Works and Highways which approved its funding.
The water source is from Lake Lanao through a submersed electric water-pump. The sourced water is then filtered by the system located at the said barangay.
It is complete with an electric supply and an extra electeric-generators and CCTV monitoring system.
Its initial target is to supply a filtered, potable water to six (6) barangays whilst we work on improving it to a municipal-wide household water supply system and finally if possible in the future, the municipality's own water supply institution.
2. Municipal Rural Health Unit also located at Barangay Kabasaran (Pob.), Lumbayanague, Lanao del Sur.
This project was initiated after the Marawi siege when Lumbayanague, Lanao del Sur gave shelter to Six hundred Sixty-six households or families from Marawi.
It was observed by then Mayor Salamona L. Asum and VM Sultan Arimao S. Asum that there is need to improve our health care services. Then Municipal Administrator and now Mayor Jamal L. Asum took head of the instructions who scouted on an additional funding to make true of said plan.
Finally, Asian Development Bank heard the prayers and funded the said project through the Department of Health with the full support and effort of the Integrated Provincial Health Officer of Lanao del Sur and its head Dr. Alinader Minalang.
In mid-2022, the contractor of the said project defaulted but the ADB, the DOH, the IPHO-LDS and the LGU of Lumbayanague walked extra-miles to find ways to keep on with the project.
It is then with great pride that we announce that both projects have finally come to its completion.
All thanks to our beloved Mayor Jamal L. Asum, our dear mother Mayor Salamona L. Asum, the Bigboss Sultan VM Arimao "Blacklion" S. Asum, Dr. Alinader Minalang of IPHO-LDS, DOH, ADB, Minister Eduard U. Guerra, Deputy Minister Abdul-Maomit Tomawis, DE Maldamin Decampong, Engineer Abdulkhaliq Undi, Municipal Engineer Abduhakeem L. Dimapinto, MPDC Omar Matonding and all others who in one way or another took a role in the realization of these two (2) of our dream projects.
