Mayor Ronnel Chua
Rivera SOCA 2016 Report
Draft no. 11
March 17, 2016,
5:53pm
Apan, tungod aduna tay
damgo ug ginalantaw nga maayong kaugmaon alang sa Gensan nagpadayon ta ug
trabaho.
Karong buntag, dungan
sa atong pagsugod sa atong report sa katawhan sa General Santos, libo usab nga mga estudyante
and mulingkod sa ilang mga bag-ong lingkuranan sa nagkalain-laing mga bag-ong
classrooms sa siyudad.
They are a part of the
future of General Santos City that we are serving, and I am proud that we were
able to address the major problems that they are facing.
This is the chief
executive’s report on what we have done with what we have and what we want to
make to do towards achieving that goal.
*GREETINGS!
When we embarked on
the platform of change three years ago, we set markers along the way to make
sure that we do not stray and that we are always guided.
One of those marks is
etched on positive changes for education.
EDUCATION
Ang Classroom deficiency
sa atong pagsulod sobra tunga na ang atong natubag. From 342 na kulang nga
classroom, ang siyudad karon anaa na lamang sa 165.
That shortage will
drop further because this year the Department of Education and the Department
of Public Works and Highways have earmarked P1 Billion for more classrooms.
I would like to send a
special thank you to all my department heads and City Hall employees. Thank you
for donating P10 each from your salary so that we can construct makeshift
classrooms such as those in Sinawal,
Baluan and Calumpang. Kanang mga classrooms nagkantidad og half a million
pesos, proyecto nga nahimong posible tungod sa pagtinabangay sa mga empleyado
ug sa pribadong sector ug gamay nga counterpart gikan sa City Mayor’s Office. I
am so proud of all of you, because this is the first time that an initiative
such as this was undertaken and led by no-less than our employees.
Sa unang tuig nato sa
serbisyo isip mayor nakahatag kita, together with DepEd, og 40 classrooms ug
4,000 armchairs pinaagi sa atong “Edukasyon ko, Kabuhayan Mo” project.
We were able to reduce
the number of lacking armchairs by 50% -- to 7,000 from 14,000.
Wla sad nato nalimtan
ang atong mga pinalanggang teachers. Tungod sa suporta sa atong Sangguniang
Panlungsod, nahatagan og P2, 000 nga incentive ang atong mga public school
teachers.
If we want to ensure
the education of the children of this city, we have to do it right. Sa Day Care
pa lang, ginatutukan na sa inyong local government. Napanghatag na nato ang mga
Early Childhood Care Development (ECCD) manuals para siguradong epektibo ug
pare-pareho ang learning system for children 5 to 6years old.
Our basic goal is to
make sure that every child under the new ECCDI system would be able to read 5
words or more before they graduate to kindergarten. This is the only childhood
development system of its kind in the entire Philippines.
We also forged an
agreement with General Santos City Water District last 2015 para libre na nag
water bills sa atong mga Day Care Centers.
The city council also
recently passed the ordinance creating the Edukar Gensan, a scholarship program
for the poor but deserving students of this city.
Apan, wla pa nahuman,
tungod tumong nato nga walaon gyud ang lacking equipment and shortages sa
facilities sa atong mga teacher ug sa ilang mga estudyante. That is part of the
promise that we made three years ago, and that is part of the changes that we
have already begun to undergo.
Damgo nako na ang mga
estudyante sa General Santos wala nay laing problemahon, kundili ang pagtuon na
lamang sa iyang leksyon.
Damgo nako na wala nay
magklse ilawom sa mga punuan ug covered court, wla nay mag-share og classrooms
sa dili nila mga classmates ug wala nay estudyanteng taga Gensan nga maglingkod
sa salug samtang nagtuon.
Together, we will work
to make that dream a reality.
TRANPORTATION
We have to duplicate
what we are doing in the education front and apply some of its principles sa
transportation. What we did with education was to get everybody involved to
address a problem that everybody shouldbe concerned about.
Alam na natin ang
problema sa transportation. Dali lang ang solusyon, in fact, gunit nato ang
tubag sa problema sa transportation sa siyudad.
Kinahanglang nato
i-adopt ug tricktong ipatuman ang nahimong findings sa study nga gihimo sa
league of Cities of the Philippines. But beig a leader that concerns himself
with the welfare of his people, dili nakomapatuman nga basta-basta lang ang
unod sa maong findings.
Dali lang kaayo ang
muyawyaw tungod sa atong sitwasyon sa trapik. Kasabot ta ana ug kaila ko ninyo.
Kabalo ko concern lang mo sa kahimtang nato. Salamat.
Kung magpataka ta ug
aksyon without preparing for the consequences, 13 il nga mga tricycle drayber
ug ang ilang pamilya ang puwedeng magutman. Matag usa ana naay dependents.
Kung tangalon nato ang
tricycle sa ilang lugar, walay jeep nga musalo sa mga byahe nga mawala.
Naa tay tubag sa
problema sa trapiko. Atong ginahimo karon ang pag-andam alang sa problema sa
pangpanginabuhian sa mga maapektuhan oras na mahimo na mahimo tang strikto sa
pagpatuman. Sa kasamtangan mangayo ko og tabang sa atong mga yellow plate
drivers, green plate drivers ug mga residente.
Sama sa atong gihimo
sa edukasyon, tabangay ta. Sa mga draybers, tabangi ko pinaagi sa pagdisiplina
sa inyong kaugalingon. Practice road courtesy, pagsinsilyo og sakto, ayaw
pasaway sa dalan. Dili mo kayang bantayan isa-isa sa traffic enforcers.
Dicipline yourselves.
Disiplina lang ug
koopearasyon samtang ginaplastar nato ang tanan. Mao uab kana ang akong gusto
mahitabo sa peace and order.
SECURITY
Sukad sa paglingkod ni
Police Director Maximo Layugan isip labaw sa General Santos City Police Office,
nitaas ang ihap sa mga krimen nga masulbad. Gikan sa 784 in 2014, nitaas kini
ug 899 solved. Sabay ani ang pagmubo sa indexed crimes. From 5,011 in 2014,
nahimu na lang ni nga 4,016.
We want to make the
public safe from crime and criminality, but we lack police officers. Right now
our police officer to population ratio is still from the ideal 1:500.
This is why the city
government implemented additional initiatives to help curb crime.
Example is the Purok
Laban sa Krimen Program. Ang private sector ug komyunidad, nagatinabangay alang
sa safety sa siyudad.
Also, one of our
initiatives is the Likay sa Droga program which has 7,000 beneficiaries from
our Alternative Learning System, working hand-in-hand with our officers from
the expanded – DARE program of the PNP.
In addition, our
rescue 727 is now online. Pwede naka mangayo og tabang pinaagi sa pagtawag sa
atong mga action centers. Next step in that plan is to add to the
insfrastructure and capabilities of that Rescue Unit.
Tungod ani, akong
pangayuon sa Sangguniang Panglungsod and pag-approve sa structure sa Public
Safety Office, that will combine the offices of DRRM-O, Traffic and
Transportation, emergency response services and Civil Security Office.
This way we can
further strengthen our urban security solutions by investing in infrastructure,
integrated systems and functions, coordinate emergency responses by police,
firefighters, emergency and medical teams so that we can cut response time for
emergency situations.
Dili ko kontento na
makabalo lang ang LGU nga kinahanglan nimo ug tabang, dapat naa usab
kapabilidad ang Rescue 727 nga muresponde sa maong panginahanglanon. We need
ambulances, buildings, equipment, trainings and CCTV Cameras para dali
maka-responde ug mabantayan ang mga residente sa General Santos. If Davao can
do it, so can we.
This year the Regional
Disaster Reduction and Management Council awarded our Rescue 727 unit with the
Kalasag Award as one of the best disaster preparedness units in the region.
Lahat ng yan dahil sa pagtutulungan natin.
I need the public to
take ownership when it comes to ensuring the safety and security of the
community. Kung kulang ang police para bantayan ang katawhan,mutabang ang
katawhan sa police sa pagbantay sa komunidad.
Thus, I am requesting
the GSCPO and Director Layugan to give me comprehensive security plan so that
the local government can see what you need and what we can provide to address
those needs.
SOCIAL SERVICES
Part of my social
contract with the people is – TO CREATE
A LIVABLE ENVIRONMENT FOR ALL GENERALS TOWARDS
NATION BUILDING or as we put it in this administration a CLEAN-Gensan.
We focused on the
projects that have high impact on the livability of this city.
Maganda ang Gensan, we
have a beautiful city.
Our high profile
visitors like Davao City Mayor Rody Duterte, Sen. Grace Poe, Leni Robledo and
others have attested that indeed, we have a beautiful and progressive city that
we should be proud of.
Pero lisud mahimong
proud sa imong siyudad kung nahadlok ka kay dulom ang inyong lugar kung gabii.
Gisugdan nato ni sa
mga national highways ug karon P90.8 Million worth of streetlights are already
erected providing light sa atong mga residente ug mga motorista. This year, we
will make our way into the inner barangay levels, until we reach the city’s
central.
That’s why before pa
ko nilingkod isip Mayor, gisaad nako sa akong kaugalingon nga pahayagon nako
ang Gensan. In 2013 when I assumed the office, I immediately signed Executive
Order 21, or Oplan Pailaw.
Kauban sa Socoteco II,
gikan sa 7,953 nga mga aplikante anaa na sa 85% ang napasugaan o 6,760 na ka
mga pamilya ang safe from possible fire tungod sa “series connection” nga
illegal.
Mga higala, padayon
ang atong distributio sa CLEAN Gensan Family Card, Nakahatag na ta og dugang
5,091 cards nga naka-benepisyo dili lang sa indibidwal apil usab ang ilang mga
pamilya.
Para sa Gensan Youth,
we have organized the General Santos
Youth Festival, a gathering to help them in sports development, youth and the
arts and; skills and talents. This is so revolutionary and inspiring that the National
Youth Commission last year acknowledged it as biggest summer youth gathering.
We will make the Gensan Youth Festival bigger this year.
Our City Social Welfares
and Development Office and City Environment and Natural Resources Office also
partnered to have a cash-for-work project for climate change adaptation ang
mitigation projects which benefied almost 2,600 individuals.
Of course, padayun ang
atong projects for senior citizens, like “Alay kay Lolo at Lola” which benefied
more than 3,000 elderly.
Again, this is part of
our initiative to make General Santos a more livable place for all.
We also invested, more
than P20 million to ensure road safety. Duha ka mga additional traffic lights
sa mga strategic places sa atong mga kalsada worth P9 million ug sa tabang sa
atong Sangguniang Panlungsod, nakabutang ta og usa ka overpass sa Barangay
Calumpang, worth P11.9 million.
The
full-implementation of Anti-Smoking Ordinace is also in effect.
I was a smoker too
once upon a time, trust5 me, we can stop this vice from taking over our lives.
Salamat sa atong
Sangguniang Panlungsod sa pagpasa sa pinaka-unang epiktibong Anti-Smoking
Ordianance diri sa Region 12.
To my brothers and
sisters in Islam, ang Muslim Cemetery that I promised will finally be opened
this year. We have negotiated a portion of land with the Atong Family and we
are finalizing the papers with the Department of Agrarian Reform and other agencies.
To promote livability, we helped SOCOTECO II improve the
power supply of Gensan by becoming their ally in seeking solutions, not an
enemy out to blame and ridicule them during brownout.
Karon, I would like to
congratulate SOCOTECO II for being able to reduce brownouts from 12 hours per
day to a minimal number today.
We know SOCOTECO is to link-up with the Sarangani Energy
Corporation (SEC) so that we can completely remove brownout from our
dictionary. SEC will give 75MW of power to Gensan. Maka expect ta mas barato na
ang kuryente kay wala silat transmission cost.
As you probably know,
our sanitary landfill na dugay na kaayong naka-standby tungod sa poor planning
and lack of foresight; karon 70% complete na. We have negotiated it to a much
lower price from a staggering P325 million to P219 million, at a much
responsive size. The original plan for the sanitary landfill would have seen
the city paying P1.2 million for 18 months during the operations period at an
overwhelming interest rate of 8%. Tungod sa atong intervention, ang bayrunon na
P1.2 million sulod sa 18 months, 6 months nalang atong bayaran ug ang transfer
of technoloy to operate the landfill will happen for free, best of all ang
interest rate is naa na lang sa 4.5%. We have sucessfully turned the Sanitary
Landfill from one of the pain points of this city intoa project that the people
of this city deserves.
Ang FRAME dugay na
nato naplanohan kung unsa ang himuon. Dunay 9,300ka mga active member ang FRAME
with more-or-less P38 million in savings. We developed a 12-point agenda to
ensure its stability and further strengthen the FRAME initiative. We will
identity, develop and train a program management group or SET-G leaders
especially in financial management to help upgrade the FRAME program, to better
guide them in identifying proper investment opportunities for their savings.
Along with that is the
upgrade of MAFMA or the Mutual Aid Fund for Mortuary Assistance. This and
strengthening of FRAME is achievable thru linkages and partnerships with
non-government institutions and people’s organizations.
Yearly we will help
FRAME in coming up with proper monitoring aqnd evaluation of the program as
wekk as the annual reporting to the members and beneficiaries. We will provide
FRAME with direction and added opportunities. Tandaan nyo ‘yan.
Nagpasamat pud kita sa
atong Department of Agriculture, Department of Interior ang Local Government,
Department of Trade and Industry, Department of Social Welfare and Development.
Sa ilang tabang naka implementa ta ug nagpadayon pag-implementar sa projects
under the Bottoms up Budgeting.
Sa 2014,
naka-implementar kita ug more thanP29 million worth sa BUB Salintubig; sa 2015
naka implementar kita ug almost P33 million worth na project where DILG
allocated P17 million ug ang counter-part sa syudad P15.6 million para sa
Salintubig BUB.
With our partnership with DA from 2013 to the present we have
already implemented a total P264.2 million worth of projects under sa
Socksargen Food and Security program where we have allocated in the city as
counterpart worth P39.5 million.
Under sa usab sa BUB
through the DA for 2014 until 2016 we have allocated almost P15 million as
counterpart sa total projects pf P40.1 million.
HEALTH
Another of our main
concern is health. Dili na sikreto ang naabtan natong mismanagement sa Jorge
Royeca Hospital o City Hospital. Mga tambal nga natanggong ug wala na dispense,
separate nga pagpadagan sa City Health Office ug sa mismong hospital,
kakulangon sa basic services sama sa Intensive Care Unit ug uban pa.
Now we can proudly say
that our hospital has sufficient medicines. Sa una magkulang ang supply sa
medicines because there is no petty cah allotment for it. Maghulat pa sa
request ug approval. Ginatawag na gani sa una ang City Hospital nga “Mona lisa
Hospital”….. because you lie there, and you die there!
When I came into
Office in 2013, we gave that priority and set into motion how to correct it.
Through a MOA with the MAHINTANA Foundation, additional supplies of medicines
are now being supplied to the hospital for free. Akong balikon, “Libre” na nag
mga tambal. Dili na kinahanglan sa mga tao na mupalit ug tambal sa gawas kung
kaya lang naman ihatag ug libre sa inyong lokal na pangamhanan.
We also have
additional and renovated facilities in the hospital such as; the newly
constructed Dietary Bukilding which costs P4.5 million, Watcher’s Area costing
P4.7 million, Motopool/Garage/Maintenance which costs P4.9 million, Drainage
/System almost P2 million, Waste Water Treatment Facility P5.2 million,
Renovation/expansions P28.8 million, TB DOTS Center and Laboratory almost P1
million and Admin. Bldg, P9.9 million with funds coming from the DPWH and DOH.
Around P4.3 million
from the hospitals cash collectionof
P110 million was also to finance the program of Enrolment of Indigent
Patients at PHGIC’s Point of Care (POC) program.
This program provided
access to hospital services and quality medical care at no cost to 1,761
qualified beneficiaries which represent 15% of all admitted patients in 2015.
Halos tanang mga
medical and health cases, mapagamay man o dako ginalabay tanan sa atong
hospital, isa sa mga rason sa overcrowding. What we did, is empower our Rural
Health Units (RHU). Karon naa na ta 12
ka mga RHU’s providing health services nga pwede na dili dalhon sa hospital.
Instead na mudugang ta
ug isa ka hospital nga wala’y pondo ug dili ma-budgetan, 12 ka mga RHU ang
solusyon. Faster and closer health services sa presyong tama. Mao nang plano pa
natong pakusgan ug dungagan ang ihap sa mga RHU nato.
Thank you for our
Health Board for helping us in setting everything up.
I would also like to
thank Dr. Emily Paladangan Francisco, our new and only neonatologist in the
city. She along with her fellow physicians are helping us with bringing better
service to the residents of this city.
We have signed a
memorandum of agreement with the General Sanos Doctos Hospital. Under the MOA,
patients referred by our City Hospital to the Gensan Docotors Hospital for
Diagnostic and laboratory services will be received and accommodated at a
discount cost.
Sa insufficiency sa
doctors, especially in the Pediatric Ward, we made another MOA with the General
Santos City OB/GYN Society (GSCOGS) to help the city government. This, time,
alagaan na nato ang atong mga doctor, para dili na sila mapugos nga muhawa sa
pagpanerbisyo sa gobyerno.
Naa usab ta dugang na
mga neurosurgeons.
We also tapeed the
private sector to bring in much neede reinforcement. Sama sa gina-advocate
karon sa national government sa mga infrastructure projects nga Public Private
Partnership, mao sad na atong gihimo para madugangan ang health services.
Gihimo natong mas
sayon para sa mga international privategroups nga makasulod sa Gensan aron
muhatag sa ilang mga tabang. This has resulted in numerous medical missions
sama na lang sa Starkey Hearing Aid Mission, Jacksonville Florida Medical
Mission, World Surgical Foundation, Canadian Medical Mission Society, Arkansas
Medical Mission Inc. and Tsu Chi Medical Mission. Wala’y gasto ang siyudad, naka-benepisyo ang
katawhan.
Ang atong gisaad nga
inventory and audit sa programmms and services sa hospital miresulta sa pipila ka mga changes sa isitema
and sa operation sa hospital.
Instead na mulingkod
kita mismo sa hospital in our first hundred days, we installed a Special Action
Team aron mas matutukan ang pagpadagan sa hospital, ug masiguro nga ang
delivery sa services makaabot gyud sa katawhan.
Gi-implementa usab
nato ang Zero-based billing sa tanang pasyenteng walay ikabayad. Kini isa ka
butang nga dugay na dapat na gihimo tungod ang atong hospital para sa katawhan,
dili negosyo.
Gitabangan nato ang
national government. As a counterpart, nanghatag og 4,000 nga mga Philheath
cards ang siyudad sugod 2014 to 2015.
ECONOMIC
COMPETITIVENESS/BUSINESS CLIMATE
Being from the
business sector, I have always known that the business climate of the city has
not been reflective of its economic competitiveness before. In short, dako ug
daghan ang potential nga negosyo sa city apan gamay lang ang nagasulod o adunay
kumpuansa mag-negosyo kung basehan ang atong records.
Garbo nako karon
mutindog sa inyong atubangan aron i-report nga ilalom sa mga pagbag-o nga atong
gipatuman, atong nakit-an ang pagsaka sa ihap sa mga Micro, small and medium
Enterprises (MSMEs) sa siyudad. Gikan sa 1,000 anaa na sa kapin 8,000 ka mga
MSMEs sa syudad.
This goes to show that
thus administration loks after the welfare of the small and medium enterprises
while catering to the needs of larger business who would want to invest in the
city. Nagdaghan ang negosyo wala gimanipola.
Pasalamatan nato ang
mga nagkalain-laing mga ahensiya sulod ug gawas sa City Hall nga nagtabangay
aron mapa-paspas nato ang proseso. Tungod sa mas paspas nga business
processing, investors are seriously lookig into the potentials of Gensan and
most importantly, mismong mga residente and kumpyansa nga magtukod ug negosyo
sa siyudad.
We have seen the
increase in number of new business registration and renewals. The number of new
business who invested in Gensan grw, from 816 in 2013 to 1,446 today. This was
complemented by the increase of business renewals – from 7,848 in 2013 to 8,064
in 2014. These MSME’s employ around 91,000 individuals. Nakahatag na ug negosyo
sa siyudad, nadugangan pa ang trabaho.
We also bagged the
Blue Certification for our Business Processing and Licensing Office from no
less than the office of the ombudsman.
Because of the healthy
business and surging economic competitives that we have achieved, the local
revenue colletion has posted our highest revenue in more than 20 years.
According to the CityTreasurer’s Office, Gensan’s net income in 2013 was P249
million. We were able to increase this to 310 million.
In 2015, the Cities
and Municipalities Competitiveness Index (CMCI) placed Gensan in the 17th
spot in the country’s most outstanding highly urbanized cities. Kung sa una mga
small time lang ang atong kalaban sa CMCI, karon musukol na ta sa mga dagkong
siyudad sama sa Makati, Manila ug Cebu.
The Department of
Interior and Local Governmet has conferred the Seal of Good Financial
Housekeeping to General Santos City.
Pasabot ana, ang
inyong local government sa General Santos City, trasparent ug walay anomalya.
AGRICULTURE AND
FISHING
We have set our eyes
on making General Santos City as the Agriculture Hub of the region. We are
still the undisputed Tuna Capital of the Philippines but stricter fishing laws
and changing environment challenges mean that we should also support our
fishing gains by taking advantage of the agricultural growth that we are
experiencing right now and helping export Mindanao as the Food Basket. We are
now preparing our international class port to act as hub of agricultural import
and export in the region and nearby provinces.
Padayon gihapon ang
atong mga projects that aims to make General Satos City as the Agricultural
Hub, susch as the completion of farm to market roads, improvement of postharvest
facilities among many others. We were
also recently awarded project grants for being one of the top 100
cities/municipalities in Fisherfolks Registration.
Konsehal pa lang ko,
nakita na nako ang gakadako nga ihap sa mga taga-General Santos nga napreso sa
Indonesia tungod sa pagpangisda. Nakapauli na ta ug dul-an libo ka mga
mananagat through our repatriation efforts. Kini na mga fishermen, dili ni
taga-Gensan tanan. Some of them are from Sarangani, Davao, and Surigao.
Because of this
problem. I want to start a dialogue with the Indonesian President so that we
can properly determine where our international borders end, and where the
Indonesian territory begins.
Being amember of the
fishing industry, dili nako gusto pasagdan ang atong mga mannagat. Last year,
we gave our fishermen a small tribute piunaagi sa pagtukod ug memeorial marker
para sa mga nawala nga fishermen sa Typoon Pablo. I am hoping and praying that
they are still alive.
ENDING
Sa ulahi nakong
pag-aubang ninyo sa akong 2014 na SOCA. I was shocked that the city has only
implemented 4% of the P644 million infrastructure projects already programmed
and funded by the previous administration. I am to report to everybody present
that we have increased our program implementation by 65%.
Example, in my early
weeks in office – around July of 2013 – my administration has stumbled upon
P277 million worth of around 80 projects that were not implemented and we were
already about to end the year. I see that as an injustice to the people of this
great city.
Kung sa 100 ka project
sa una, upat lang ang ma-implement, karon napasaka nato ang implementation ana
to 65 projects out of 100. But we are not done yet, we will continue to raise
that number.
When I said sa last
SOCA that I will intensify revenue collection, we were able to increase that as
promised. Our total revenue collection for 2014 is P1.3 billion, in 2015 we
were able to collect P1.5 billion pesos, an increse of more or less P200
million in our total revenue collection.
When I said in my first
100 days that I will work with the Sangguniang Panlungsod towards a better and
more livable city, I walked that talked and our honorable councilors also
followed.
Not only did the city
council passed meaningful laws like the anti-smoking ordinance, granting our
senior citizens free movie privileges, passing our investments code, additional
benefits and incentives to all elected barangay officials as well as mortuary
benefits; SP Gensan was also declared as the 2015 Local Executive Awardees for
Outstanding Sangguninag Panlungsod for Region 12 under the highly urbanized
cities/independent component cities category,
Let us give our
Sangguniang Panlungsod A ROUND OF APPLAUSE.
We also said that we
will provide the necessary infrastructure and streamline process and
requirements for existing as well as new business as evidenced by our awards
and increase in business renewed, registered and business that have continued
to operate.
We will continue to institute
reforms and rehabilitate our city hospital as well as drastically re-orient our
city health services.
We have also reduced
the number of lacking rooms, chairs and supplemental budget for our educational
facilities.
We have instituted
reforms within city hall to make our employees more service – oriented and
responsible public servants. We have conducted trainings, capability building
and operations enhancements as well computerizations of our branches.
When I said dili ko
kamo pakyason, diligyud ta mo pakyason!
Despite all the
success that we have presented and the projects that we have discussed in
pursuit of the change that we want to promote in General Santos, we still have
a long way to go.
I have a vision and
grand plans to General Santos and I cannot afford failure in the pursuit of
that dream.
On a more personal
note, in my three years as the chief executive of this city, despite sa atong
na-achieved, nakita nako nga daghan pa ang mga challenges sa General Santos.
But I believe in
thepotentials of our great city, I believe in the people of our city, I believe
we have a long way to go but we can do it.
Ang Challenges sa
siyudad, extends beyond what we see. Daghan na ang atong nahimo, daghan pa ang
kinahanglan himuon ug masdaghan pa ang dapat nato pangandaman.
Ladies and gentlemen,
this report is not about egos or special interest; this is about answering the
call of preparing for the future generation.
ANG PAGLAUM SA GENSAN
MAO ANG NAGKAHI-USANG KATAWHAN.
