Mayor lists priority projects for Calasiao
HEALTH and education will be the top priority of Calasiao Mayor Mark Roy Macanlalay in 2011, starting with the construction of a maternity lying-in station at the Senior Tesoro Hospital.
Another strategy is to increase the number of PhilHealth enrollees in the town.
Macanlalay said his administration will also focus on the restoration of old classrooms and the construction of new ones.
The mayor also said his administration will prepare a traffic ordinance in preparation for the opening of the new Robinson’s Mall, which is expected to impact on both vehicular and pedestrian traffic.
For the environment, the town will organize river marshals to guard the town’s rivers and impose penalties on those caught throwing garbage in the rivers.
Meanwhile, the controversial construction of a new Calasiao Public Market under a Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) scheme will push through, said Macanlalay, despite protests from the stall owners and vendors at the old market.
He assured the stall owners and vendors that they will be given priority as locators once the new market building is completed.
The plan to set up a solar source of energy for the municipal hall will also be pursued.
“The Municipality can pay electric bill but solar energy help reduce energy consumption,” Macanlalay said, hinting on criticisms that the solar energy project is borne by the municipal government’s inability to pay its electricity dues.
“Solar energy is an option to save wherein the accumulated savings will be used to generate other projects,” he added.–Roselle Gale, CdD
