The lack of sufficient lighting and maintenance on our roads is a grave concern for the safety of all who travel through Negros Occidental. As a resident here, I've witnessed numerous close calls and heard of unfortunate accidents resulting from poor road conditions and inadequate street lighting.

Imagine driving at night, struggling to navigate through dimly lit streets riddled with potholes and uneven surfaces. It's not just an inconvenience; it's a dangerous reality that puts everyone's lives at risk. According to a study by the World Health Organization, road traffic injuries are one of the leading causes of death worldwide, largely due to preventable factors like inadequate infrastructure. In the Philippines, where road accidents are alarmingly common, enhancing road safety should be a top priority.

In Negros Occidental, the situation is dire. Residents often find themselves dealing with broken roads that are not being addressed swiftly enough. The absence of proper street lights makes it even harder to spot hazards until it's potentially too late.

I urge the local government to take immediate action to repair and maintain the roads more efficiently and to install more streetlights in key areas. This is not a luxury; it's a necessity for ensuring the well-being of everyone who lives and commutes in our province.
