MANILA, Philippines - Manila Mayor Alfredo Lim led the ceremonial lighting on Monday evening of the New Panaderos Street in Sta. Ana along with his running mate Vice Mayor Isko Moreno and Barangay 891 Chairman Rosendo Parel.
A total of 123 lamp posts were installed on over one kilometer stretch of sidewalk from Sta. Ana Church to Lambingan Bridge. The new lighting project gave emphasis to the ongoing construction of the 10-story Sta. Ana Hospital, now visible to passersby even during nighttime. Lim also invited all the residents of Sta. Ana to the soft opening of the hospital with five more floors still to be completed.
The mayor said the hospital can now start accommodating residents even if five more floors are still to be built. Easily, 500 doctors, nurses and hospital personnel are now ready to serve the public.
The hospital will be equipped with new, modern and sophisticated hospital equipment with the acquisition of a computerized tomography scan (CT Scan) for the benefit of the fourth, fifth and sixth district of Manila.
The hospital reserves a ward for barangay officials, police officers, fire marshals and teachers.
The projected 10-story hospital with centralized air-conditioning system and its medical equipment are the services that Lim wants to provide Manilans so they could enjoy what the rich enjoy in private hospitals.
City officials present were City Engineer Armando Andres, City Electrician Ernesto Cuyugan, Manila Barangay Bureau director lawyer Analyn Buan, Veterinary Inspection’s Board OIC Sonia Salmos, City Registrar Ma. Josefa Encarnacion Ocampo and Acting Manila Fire Marshall Felixberto Abrenica.
