Equal funds for all Pasig residents sought

A mayoralty aspirant assured residents of Pasig City that city government funds and resources will be distributed equally to all sectors, saying no one will be left behind.

In a statement, aspirant Sarah Discaya disclosed that the city recently dropped from 6th to 9th place in the 2024 Rankings of Highly Urbanized Cities under the Cities and Municipalities Competitive Index by the Department of Trade and Industry.

The category of government efficiency, which includes health services, peace and order, school services, and social protection, played a significant role in this ranking.

Some senior citizens have also expressed that the benefits they receive from the current administration are insufficient, particularly in healthcare.

“Under my watch, this will not happen because I want equal distribution of wealth and resources to all Pasigueños,” said Discaya.

She added that Pasig needs new health centers to ensure every community has its own healthcare facility and sufficient health workers.

Discaya aims to transform Pasig into a "smart city," with smart hospitals, smart schools, housing buildings, and a systematic transport system.
