'Public Welfare is our Top Priority' - Roxas
Interior and Local Government Secretary Mar Roxas has assured the Senate that the welfare of the general public has been and will always be the top priority of his department.
Roxas responded following remarks made by Senator Miriam Defensor-Santiago in a privileged speech delivered on Monday before the Senate, as it resumed its budget hearing for the fiscal year 2015.
Santiago, in her speech, reminded the DILG to focus on its mandate which is “to supervise local government units and to secure the lives and property of every Filipino no matter where they live, what their political colors are and whether they are friends or foes.”
One project that she mentioned was DILG’s Sagana at Ligtas na Tubig Para sa Lahat (Salintubig), a water program that was started by the late DILG Sec. Jesse Robredo back in 2011.
“Pina-iigting po natin ang mga proyekto ng dating kalihim” (We strengthen the projects of former secretary), Roxas said.
“Potable water is a prime essential need of every community and every LGU must be involved in meeting this need,” he explained.
The secretary added that given that many communities still remain without access to potable water, continuing the P1.53 billion-project will therefore help many Filipinos in 89 waterless municipalities and barangays.
He also maintained that despite attempts made by some sectors to draw political color in the efforts of the DILG, it has always strived to fulfill its mandate even in times of disasters such as typhoons, earthquakes, and even armed conflicts, through its wide array of projects and programs.
“Makasisiguro po ang ating butihing senador na hindi nagpapabaya at walang pinipili sa paglilingkod ang DILG (The senator can be sure that DILG is neither negligent nor biased in fulfilling its duties,” the secretary said.)
