Lizama said the residents of Chalan Kiya were thankful for the project, adding that one resident even gave them oranges.

“Members brought food for a potluck-style lunch,” Lizama said, as she thanked all members who supported the project.
She said they will continue to paint five more speed bumps in the area.
The Department of Public Works provided the Lions with traffic cones and facilitated the implementation of the project through Isagani Salazar, Lizama said.
