ZAMBOANGA City Mayor Maria Isabelle Climaco-Salazar vowed to work harder in her third and last term focusing attention to the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) certification as well as the improvement of health services.

Salazar said the welfare of the workers is among her top priorities in addition to her priority thrusts on security, health and education while addressing the city government employees during the flag ceremony, Monday, May 20.

Salazar won her bid for re-election with an overwhelming mandate in the recently concluded May 13 mid-term elections.

“It’s nice to be back and as we start this Monday, we offer all our gratitude to God and Nuestra Señora La Virgen,” she said after city government employees led by the Human Resource and Management Office and the department heads accorded her a simple fete welcoming her re-election.

“I am very humbled to be given one more term by the people of Zamboanga, and rest assured we will work very hard to also have our ISO accreditation in the City Government and also I would want to work on the improvement of health services,” she added.
