Mayor approves P99 million in Oro village projects
MAYOR Vicente Emano is set to approve this week a total of P99 million worth of infrastructure projects from his 20% Development Fund in the different barangays of the city.
Emano revealed that the implementation of infrastructure projects in the barangays is in consonance with his policy to continually empower the barangays in the manner of determining the kind of projects they believe are truly needed by their constituents.
However, the mayor clarified that the approval of projects submitted by the barangays will have to be evaluated based on the necessity and impact of the project on the lives of the people in the community.
The Local Finance Committee, which is tasked to assess these projects, is yet to convene this week to decide which projects will be funded by the P99 Million development fund.
Meanwhile, Emano disclosed his plans to upgrade and improve the facilities of the J.R. Borja Memorial City Hospital even as he vowed to put the improvement of facilities and services of the city government-run hospital a part of his priority thrusts in the remaining months of his administration.
Already in the offing is the purchase of a CT scan and dialysis machine which the mayor hoped will help address the needs of poor patients in the city and outlying areas.
Mayor Emano said that with the purchase of such machines, the city's poor sector will have a comparative choice of quality medical services which are offered at high cost in private medical institutions.
In this way, Mayor Emano explained that no poor resident in the city will be deprived of quality medical care just because of their financial incapacity. (Press release)
