By Chito Chavez In a bid to make the streets and communities safer, the Quezon City Council passed a resolution urging Mayor Herbert Bautista to include in the priority projects the installation of solar LED lights in street lamp posts. (MANILA BULLETIN) City Resolution 7667-2018, introduced by Councilors Hero Clarence M. Bautista and Allan Butch Francisco, emphasized the savings from using LED lights will benefit other programs and services of the city government. "The move to adopt an integrated solar LED light is more advantageous to private consumers and to the government in terms of costs and savings," the resolution read. The integrated solar lights have a charging time of six hours with eight hours of full power and 40 hours of power saving mode. They can last up 20 years with a lifetime of 50,000 hours. Also to further promote local land ownership, the Quezon City government has approved two subdivision plans in Barangay Bagong Silangan and Barangay Payatas. City Ordinance 2732-2018, introduced by Councilors Precious Hipolito-Castelo and Franz Pumaren, authorizes the subdivision plan of Meadow Heights Residences for 90 saleable lots located along J. P. Rizal Street in Barangay Bagong Silangan.
