SOCIAL AND CULTURAL DEVELOPMENT

I advocate Social Equity and seeks to close the significant gaps that persist across the various strata of our local society. Growing up in the grassroots of San Pedro Resettlement Area, I have dreamed of someday influencing and leading a movement that will work for the formulation and implementation of public policies, programs and projects that will ensure fair and equitable management of public services, most particularly in the areas of health, education and employment.

Our strategies to make this a reality include:

1.Local legislations that will strengthen policies and programs that will correct disparities and promote inclusion in gender, healthcare, jobs and education.

2. Enhanced 4Ps Program for Existing Beneficiaries.

3. Institutionalized Mayor’s Local Social Pension Program.

4. Expansion of curriculum and infrastructures of local government owned and controlled educational and training schools.

5. Expansion of medical services and facilities of LGU-owned hospitals and clinics.

6. Other National Social Amelioration Projects that can be adopted in local setting.
