Statues were installed in QC honor the contribution and importance of the street sweeper, the visually impaired person and other daily workers to the city.
Winners of the art contest earned recognition in the DBM national program meriting installation and funding at the QC's Green Open Reclaimed Access Lane (GORA Lane) drive along Hemady, Scout Tobias, Mother Ignacia streets. GORA Lane makes streets walkable.
