The young mayor’s allocation focused on health care and education. His vision is to make every barangay equipped with medical equipment and medicine so that major hospitals will lessen the risks of overcrowding. Since the escalation of Coronavirus cases, this allocation is smart and timely.
Business Friendly

The Philippines ranked 126th out of the total of 175 countries surveyed for its ease in starting a business. It means that among the surveyed countries, we are one of the worst countries to start a business because of slow or lengthy permit processing. That is why Pasig City’s Mayor signed a Memorandum of Agreement for the creation of the Anti-Red Tape Unit (ARTU), which limits the month-long permit processing before to 5-10 days maximum. This made Pasig the first LGU in the Philippines to sign the said memorandum.
Transparency

Pasig City became the first city to approve and implement the Freedom of Information Law, which aims to aid transparency in the LGU’s budget allocation. The mayor opened the Ugnayan sa Pasig Unit, manned by 10 staff members, where people could freely ask for government data.
Crisis Management

No doubt, the city’s mayor is one of the most heard of responders during the Coronavirus Crisis. First, before the Metro Manila lockdown, public schools were routinely disinfected. Second, disinfecting kits were distributed to the 30 barangays. Third, disinfection drones were utilized to continuously disinfect public places. Fourth, the Mobile Palengke was put into use to minimize person to person transmission when citizens shop in markets. These and the many other innovative projects were implemented to effectively manage the crisis.
Ease in Paying Taxes

The crowding of people in Pasig City Hall during tax deadlines is a headache for all the responsible taxpayers of Pasig. And so, Pasig’s leaders came up with a One-Stop Shop at the Pasig Sports Center to minimize the surge of taxpayers at the City Hall. Aside from the said project, tax discounts for annual and quarterly payments and future amendments for unfair taxes are all set-up for the people’s ease of payment.
At present, Pasig stands strong and booming despite the challenges brought by the pandemic. And all of these are attributed to their resilient leader. No wonder why many choose to invest in the city.
