The city remains on the right track in the desire of the present administration to improve the quality of life of the people and achieve a better Baguio in the future.

In his first State of the City Address (SOCA) delivered during the 111th Baguio Charter Day anniversary program held at the Baguio Convention Center, Mayor Benjamin B. Magalong stated that his governance was able to stay true to its course to institute change and that the same remained amidst the Corona Virus Disease (COVID) 2019 pandemic.

“Our fifteen-point agenda was drawn up to be the guidepost of this administration. It serves as the beacon to our true worth, that no matter what challenges and surprises will be thrown during this leadership, we will forge ahead. We took the painful but necessary steps to reconfigure the way we do things in government. We aimed for a breath of fresh air,” Magalong stressed.

He added that his administration made sure that during the most difficult times, when the city’s survival is challenged and when the economy is brought down to its knees, public welfare and safety is ensured, peace and order is kept, and more importantly, the people’s resilience is always put to the fore through constant community engagement aligned with the principle of equity, and inclusivity.

According to him, as a community, there will be a consolidated effort to build back together a better life now and beyond 111. He said that the gains of administration are partly a continuation of the gains of the previous leaders who steered the city to what it is known today in the global village.

Amidst the threat of the global pandemic, the mayor cited that reaching 100 is an achievement but it is the extra 11 that everyone will remember as the present administration sits at the 11th and its task is to make sure that the city and its people will see themselves in a better position, in a better way of life now and beyond the 11th.

“We are the lucky ones who will be able to towards that better life ahead, to be able to experience what life would be in the now normal, and to see to it that our children will carry on even amidst the damage that the pandemic has done to the world,” he said. (Dexter A. See)
