Meanwhile, the newly installed street lights and CCTVs are expected to significantly improve visibility at night, reduce criminal activities, and aid in traffic management.

Gatchalian expressed his confidence that residents are now safer going home at night and that police officers find it easier to patrol the community.

“Ngayong gabi pormal nating bubuksan ang mga ilaw para sa mas maliwanag, mas maaliwalas, at mas ligtas na Valenzuela City, higit na 19 po na major and secondary roads po ang iilawan natin at higit tatlong daang milyon po ang inilaan natin para sa kaligtasan ng ating mga mamamayan. Ito po ang pinakamalaking streetlight project sa history po ng Valenzuela kaya natutuwa po ako na gagawin na po natin ito. Ito na siguro ang oras na ang mga Pamilyang Valenzuelano ay maglalakbay nang hindi natatakot, di na tayo matatakot sa mga snatcher, hindi na tayo takot na umuwi ang mga ating mga anak na kababaihan nang gabi, at mas mapapaigting pa ng kapulisan ang kanilang trabaho sa pagbabantay po ng ating lansangan (Tonight, we are turning these lights on for a brighter and safer Valenzuela City. More than 19 major and secondary roads are covered by this project and we allotted more than three hundred million pesos for this project. This is the biggest street lighting project in Valenzuela to date, and I can now confidently say that every Pamilyang Valenzuelano will now feel safe and secure when going home at night, and this will also help the police to patrol our community better),” he said.
