Ang Maynila… Noon at Ngayon
(Ika-5 bahagi ng State of the City Address ni Mayor Joseph “Erap” Estrada noong Hulyo 23, 2014.)
“DALAWANG resolusyon din po ang pinagtibay para tugunan ang problema ng ‘Luneta hostage-taking crisis.’ We have now formally put closure to this problem and paved the way for better relations between Hong Kong and Manila.
Nagpapasalamat po ako kay Konsehal Bernie Ang dahil kung hindi sa tulong nya ay baka hindi natin naayos ang suliraning ito. Palakpakan po natin si Konsehal Bernie Ang.
Hinarap po natin ang problema ng health care.
We implemented ‘socialized charging’ in our hospitals through the ‘orange card system.’ We made sure that those with ability to pay will contribute to the cost of health care so that indigents and the poorest of the poor can get free and adequate health care services.
Sa tulong po ng Department of Social Welfare at ng mga hospital directors, mahigit sa 100,000 orange cards ang ibinigay sa mga kababayan nating walang kakayahang magbayad sa ospital. Tinitiyak ko sa inyong lahat ang libre at maaasahang serbisyong pangkalusugan para sa kanila.
Palakpakan po natin si Dra. Honey Lacuna ng Department of Social Welfare at ang ating mga hospital directors.
Pinagbuti po natin ang pangangalaga ng kaban ng lungsod.
We improved revenue collection efficiency. I challenged the heads of our revenue generating departments, offices and bureaus to increase collection by not less than 20% of the revenues of the previous year. Hinamon ko sila at hindi nila ako binigo.
Our total revenues for my first six months as mayor increased by 16% or by P345 million. Revenues from business taxes increased by 38% or by P201 million; from real property taxes, by 46%; and from business permit fees, by 60% or by P15.7 million. (Itutuloy)
