Mapasigarbuhon si Gov. Gwen Garcia atol sa State of the Province Address (SOPA), kagahapong adlawa, Agusto 11, 2023 didto sa Social Hall sa Cebu Provincial Capitol, nga ang probinsya sa sugbo “united” and “strong.”
Ang maong (SOPA) nikabat og 1: 33 hour nga adunay 76 ka pakpak, diin gitambungan usab kini nila ni Senador Francis Tolentino ug Sen. Ronald dela Rosa sa Social Hall aisle.
Didto usab sila si Department of Tourism Sec. Christina Garcia-Frasco ug Department of Energy Sec. Raphael Lotilla, lakip ang Cebu’s representatives sa Lower House, pinanguluhan ni Deputy Speaker Duke Frasco ug Congressman Pablo John Garcia, mga mayor sa component cities ug municipalities nga nipakita sa ilang suporta sa Gobernador.
“We remain the richest province in the entire country, with total assets of P235.7 billion as of end of 2022, a marked increase from P215.27 billion in 2021. We raised our internally generated revenues by 45.01% (compared to 2022), despite a reduction in National Tax Allotment by 14.59%,” segon ni Gobernador Garcia.
Gihimug-atan usab sa Gobernador “For unlike the cynics who say ‘unity’ as a punchline; or the politico who uses ‘unity’ as an empty slogan, in Cebu we take unity as our solemn duty. Unity is how we preserve and honor our 454-year past. And to remain united is how we secure the present and ensure the future for this one, undivided and indivisible Province of Cebu.”
Daghang mga Sugbuanon ang nangalipay sa kalambuan sa probinsya sa Sugbo ug naglaum pa sila nga mas mapalambo pa kini labi na sa mga karsada ug hospital. (Renante Lada, photo courtesy of Sugbo News)
