MORE PRO-POOR projects are expected to be implemented in Zamboanga City the next 3 years of the administration of Mayor Beng Climaco after the symbolic signing by the Executive and Legislative branches of the local government of the implementation of the 2020-2022 Executive Legislative Agenda (ELA).
Mayor Beng Climaco led the two branches of Zamboanga City in the “symbolic commitment signing” for the implementation of the ELA.
The preparation of the ELA was facilitated by Dr. Abelle Cajita and Engr. Clarissa Rendon.
Climaco said the ELA is a product of a 3-day painstaking and careful consideration of all flagship programs identified by the different sectors and clusters that complement the S.H.E. Program, including the various issues in Zamboanga such as electricity, water, traffic, garbage and socialized housing for the poor, among others.
S.H.E. refers to Security, Health and Education – which is Climaco’s flagship program.
The final copy of the 2020-2022 ELA is expected to be soon. Last year, Climaco pledges more support for senior citizens here after praising and thanking them for their valuable contributions in many ways to Zamboanga City.
She also released cash incentives to the elderlies as part of her priority programs for senior citizens. It is the first time for the local government to have given so much attention for the senior citizens.
It is only during Climaco’s time that senior citizens in different barangays are receiving the much needed attention and care through the local government’s various medical assistance and incentive programs called Largo Vida which literally means “Long Life”.
Largo Vida is part Climaco’s benevolent programs dedicated to the welfare or well-being of senior citizens. It is being implemented by the City Health Office (CHO), City Social Welfare and Development Office (CSWDO) and Office of the City Mayor (OCM).
And aside from Largo Vida program, Climaco also provides cash incentives to senior citizens celebrating their birthday as provided in a local ordinance. Considered also as the first of its kind in the history of Zamboanga, the distribution of the cash gifts covers all the 98 barangays here.
Under the ordinance, the birthday cash incentives will be given annually to all senior citizens: P500 for ages 60 to 69; P700 for ages 70 to 79; P800 for ages 80 to 90; P1,500 for ages 91 to 94 and P2,000 for ages 95 to 99.
Climaco is a strong advocate for the welfare of the poor and the children, and the youth through her various humanitarian programs and barangay projects which are well received and appreciated by the people because they have not experience anything like it in the past administrations.
