Makati City Mayor Abby Binay held her 7th State of the City Address on Tuesday, Jan. 10, highlighting the city’s numerous achievements specifically in improving the distribution of public services to its residents as well as the importance of environmental awareness.
Binay said thousands of Makatizens benefited from the city’s free medicine program and online consultations. Besides providing quality healthcare, Mayor Abby said the city continues to distribute cash gifts and incentives to senior citizens, students, City Hall employees, and residents via GCash. The city also gives free birthday cakes to over 65,000 senior citizens, Pamaskong Handog bags to more than 205,000 Makatizens and City Hall employees, and food carts to 41 vendors.
The mayor said the city has also installed air purifiers, UVC lights, temperature scanners, and alcohol dispensers to ensure the safety of students. This year, Mayor Abby said the city will also provide free snacks and drinks for public school students to ensure proper nutrition during the school day.
The mayor reconvened the Makati Business Development Council last year and started hosting the monthly National Day Celebration with Makati-based embassies and consulates to strengthen ties and bolster international cooperation. Last August, the city signed an agreement with the Korea International Cooperation Agency to create a smart bus system. Construction will start this year and is expected to be fully operational by 2025.
