Batac City—Mayor Albert D. Chua disclosed that their executive-legislative agenda (ELA) next year will focus more on health, education, but most especially on environment.
Mr. Chua stressed that environment encompasses reforestation, dredging, irrigation, waste management, water treatment, and garbage collection among others.
He revealed that they are now on the planning stage on the conversion of the current dumpsite into a sanitary landfill. But while they are still on this stage, the mayor said they are doing their best about garbage collection.
He said they are now strictly implementing garbage segregation with a schedule on what type will be picked up.
With this, Mr. Chua asked barangay officials here to help in the implementation of waste segregation. He stressed that this should start in all officials’ households.
On the health front, Mr. Chua said they will formally open the lying-in clinic soon. He said they are currently filling up staff and personnel, as well as medical equipment for the said clinic.
To further understand and know the needs of his constituents, Mr. Chua said he will continually visit barangays here. He said this would be a house-to-house visit so he can personally learn what the people need.
The visits would also afford him the chance to observe ongoing projects.
