The City Government of Butuan, through the CTTMD, held the first Gawad Kalsada 2025—an initiative designed to strengthen community-led road safety and reduce road-related risks across the city.
The program recognized barangays with outstanding road safety practices and effective traffic management efforts.
Barangay Maug topped this year’s Road Safety Champions, followed by Tiniwisan and Libertad, honored for strong safety measures, improved traffic systems, and proactive protection of residents.
Honorable mentions were given to Barangays Diego Silang, Rajah Humabon, Leon Kilat, Urduja, Ambago, Lumbocan, Mahogany, Mahay, Pigdaulan, and Golden Ribbon for notable progress in improving local road safety.
Mayor Fortun emphasized that “Road safety is a collective responsibility, not only of the LGU but especially of our front liners in the barangays. We cannot implement road safety measures successfully without their active involvement.“
CTTMD highlighted the event as a celebration of barangay efforts to build safer roads and save lives. The program was conducted in partnership with the DILG, ensuring transparent and standardized evaluation based on traffic management, infrastructure, community participation, education, and compliance with mobility-related ordinances.
CTTMD, through the leadership of Ms. Maria Kristina E. Cassion, thanked all participating barangays and reaffirmed its support for a smarter and safer mobility system for Butuan City.
