The Angeles City Government has officially started its clearing operations to remove messy and hazardous “spaghetti wires” along major roads in Barangay Sto. Domingo. This is part of a broader citywide effort to enhance public safety and improve the urban landscape.
With the full support and coordination of telecommunications companies (TELCOs) and utility providers, the local government began the 3-day aerial view clearing operation on August 5, 2025. The initiative aims to remove tangled and dangling cables that have long been a safety risk and visual nuisance.
Mayor Carmelo “Jon” Lazatin II continues to champion programs that promote a clean, organized, and aesthetically pleasing environment in Angeles City. According to city officials, this particular clearing drive is a crucial step in modernizing and maintaining orderly infrastructure throughout the city’s busiest areas.
The operation, led by the City Engineer’s Office and the Angeles City Traffic Development Office (ACTDO), ensures that all participating stakeholders are following safety protocols and guidelines. TELCO and utility crews worked closely with city personnel to safely detach and sort cables, distinguishing between active and abandoned lines.
Local residents and business owners in Barangay Sto. Domingo have expressed support for the program, noting that the overhead cable clutter not only detracts from the city’s image but also poses fire and electrical hazards during storms or emergencies.
This project forms part of the city’s ongoing beautification and safety campaign. After the initial 3-day operation in Sto. Domingo, similar efforts will be expanded to other barangays and commercial zones in the coming weeks, creating a more streamlined and hazard-free public space for all.
The Angeles City Government urges the public to be patient and cooperative during the clearing process, and assures residents that the ultimate goal is a safer, more attractive city. With strong collaboration between the LGU and private sectors, Angeles is on track to becoming a model city in urban management.
