IN its continuing effort to bring essential services directly to the people, the City Government of Tagbilaran conducted a comprehensive mobile services program in Barangay Tiptip on May 17, 2024.
This initiative, championed by Mayor Jane Yap and Vice Mayor Adam Jala, reflects the city’s commitment to accessibility and community engagement, ensuring that vital services are within all residents’ reach.
The primary highlight of the day was the Mobile Health Clinic, where residents accessed a wide array of medical services, including general consultations, ultrasound tests, cardiac panels, ECGs, blood typing, X-rays, and complete blood counts (CBC).
The Mobile Dental Bus complemented this by providing dental consultations and dental extractions, ensuring comprehensive healthcare services.
Mayor Yap emphasized the significance of this mobile services program, stating, “Bringing essential services directly to our barangays ensures that every resident has access to the support they need. This initiative is about inclusivity and making sure no one is left behind. Our mobile services program is a testament to our commitment to serving the community and addressing their immediate needs.”
The “Basura sa Barangay” program has gained significant popularity, allowing residents to exchange plastic bottles for rice.
This initiative fosters a community-driven commitment to waste reduction while providing tangible benefits.
The exchange rates are structured as follows: 50 pieces of Sakto size, 40 pieces of 350ml and below, 30 pieces of 500ml, 20 pieces of 1L, 15 pieces of 1.5L or 2L, and 10 pieces of 5L and above, all equivalent to 1 kilogram of rice.
Other services available are legal assistance, late registrations of live births, petitions for corrections of clerical errors in registry documents, on-site registration of the National ID-Senior Citizen-PWD-ALS, distribution of vegetable seeds, rabies vaccination for dogs and cats, free haircut and massage, and free hair color for Senior Citizens.
Hot meals in partnership with DIWA Partylist were also provided to all attendees.
