BAGUIO CITY — A Memorandum of Agreement between the City of Baguio, led by Mayor Benjie Magalong, and Wilcon Dept Inc., represented by William Belo, was inked on November 7.

The MOA expresses the commitment of Wilcon Dept Inc. to support the City in improving the circle or street island located along the stretch of BGH Rotonda through the Adopt-A-Park program.

Wilcon Dept Inc. will act as the park’s development partner. Additionally, the volunteer will assist in the park’s preservation, introduce improvements and development projects approved by CEPMO, ensure accessibility, and then finally turn over all accomplishments upon the revocation or termination of the agreement.

Meanwhile, the city will exercise its authority to review and approve any programs and projects of the cooperative before its implementation. It will also supervise the execution of these, ensure the preservation and safeguarding of park facilities, allow the temporary setting up of the volunteer’s signage at the location, and enforce existing laws, rules, regulations, and ordinances on the management and operation of City parks.

The Adopt-A-Park program allows government and non-government entities to participate in development activities for city parks.
