“Malayo na po ang narating ng ating lungsod pagdating sa kaligtasan at kapayapaan kaya naman nais po nating ipagpatuloy na palakasin pa ang ating mga nasimulan nang sa gayon ay patuloy ding makinabang ang ating mga kababayan (The city's safety and peace have already improved, that's why we want to strengthen what we have started so that our citizens will continue to benefit),” Mayor Along said.

“Lagi ko pong sinasabi, kapag maliwanag ang mga kalsada at mga eskinita, para na po tayo kaagad may mga bantay kapag naglalakad tayo sa gabi. Kaya naman po hindi pa po nangangalahati ang taon ay halos daan-daang street lights na ang ating naipapakabit upang siguruhing maihahatid kayo ng liwanag hanggang sa inyong mga kabahayan (I always say, when the roads and alleys are bright, it's like we have guards when we walk at night. That's why though the year is not half over yet, we have already installed hundreds of street lights to make sure that you safely reach your homes),” he added.

Separate street lighting ceremonies illuminated Ligaya Street, Duasnes Street, Bataan Street, Colonel M. Asistio Street in Barangay 122; Sampaguita Street in Barangay 156; Baltazar Street in Barangays 56, 57, 59, and 60 for South Caloocan; and Kakawate Street in Barangay 179, North Caloocan.
