Some of the principles of good governance include transparency and accountability. In the interest of greater accountability, I would like to provide you, our citizenry, with an update on our activities at the Municipal office in the last year.
So you stay up to date about where your taxes go. Aside from focusing on repairs, rebuilding and relief goods after the typhoon the municipal office has been also focused on pandemic related efforts.
In November for National Children’s Month, these efforts included the following:
1. We participated in holding the Kabataan Kontra Droga at Terorismo (KKDAT) Seminar Workshop with the local office; an activity where the police and members of the community partnered to teach our children from an early age about drugs.
2. We helped to distribute food and diapers, a top request during the pandemic, reaching a total of 7,000 beneficiaries.
3. We held mass flu vaccinations for 400 children.
4. In addition to this, we also held mass polio vaccinations efforts, reaching over 7,000 children aged 0-59 months old.
5. In order to help teachers and parents cope with distance learning, we provided paper, copier machines, and toner kung naubos na, for each elementary and secondary school.
6. We distributed over 5,500 pakete ng school supplies for all students from kinder to grade 3
7. We developed an early childhood care development center at the Munisipiyo.
8. We started a relief distribution for daycare students, which is ongoing today. I hope to be able to provide a update on this endeavor soon.
9. Distribution of school supplies for students in Grades 4 - 8 is currently underway. We wil alsol provide an update on this in the near future as well.
10. Scholar Pay out for the Scholarship program last December 14, 2020
2020 has been a challenging year. We faced a global pandemic and the battering of local storms. I know for Aliaga it has been particularly tough.
But with each other we can do it. As mayor I believe in being honest and speaking plainly. When faced with problems i would like our first response to be yes we can do it. And if that doesn’t seem possible our second response will be to find a way.
And now I know times have been difficult lately, but we will find a way, Aliaga. No one gets left behind. In the meantime, stay safe and God bless you.
