CITY OF MALOLOS – Governor Daniel R. Fernando isn’t just serving another term; he’s crafting a legacy.
With his third term now underway, the governor has laid out a clear vision, focusing on five pivotal areas designed to ensure his past efforts have a lasting impact on Bulacan’s future.
During the Inaugural Session of the 12th Sangguniang Panlalawigan led by Vice Gov. Alexis C. Castro yesterday at the Benigno Aquino, Jr. Session Hall, Fernando delivered his State of the Province Address where he outlined his administration’s key priorities: health, education, livelihood and development, environment and waste management, and flood control.
“Sa pagtatapos ng aking panunungkulan, ang adhikain ko ay simple ngunit makapangyarihan: makita ng bawat Bulakenyo na matatag na nakatayo sa sariling paa, may disenteng hanapbuhay, may pagkain sa hapag, ligtas, masaya, at may dignidad ang pamumuhay,” the governor said.
He elaborated his plans, which include modernizing the Bulacan Medical Center and district hospitals to deliver innovative health services; elevate standards through scholarships spanning from junior high to board exams, tackle the issue of job mismatch, equip students with diverse skills, and establish both the Bulacan Sports Academy for budding athletes and Go-Koop College for aspiring young entrepreneurs.
“Ang Bulacan ay handa ng makipagsabayan sa makabagong panahon. Katuwang natin ang pribadong sektor sa pagpapatupad ng mga proyekto na magbubukas ng oportunidad sa ating mga mamamayan,” he added.
Fernando highlighted several “big-ticket” projects set to transform the province, such as the Bulacan Mega City Project, Technohub and Innovation Center, Farmers’ Productivity Center, and the Animal Breeding and Multiplier Farm.
He also acknowledged the significant national undertakings impacting Bulacan, including the North-South Commuter Railway, MRT-7, and the New Manila International Airport.
The People’s Governor also didn’t shy away from addressing the province’s persistent waste problem, calling it a root cause of disease, pollution, and, notably, flooding.
“Kasado na rin po ang plano nating first Bulacan Environment Summit ng Pamahalaang Panlalawigan upang magkaroon tayo ng malawakang pagkilos laban sa problema natin sa basura at pagbaha sa Bulacan,” the governor announced.
Beyond his forward-looking agenda, the governor also took the opportunity to commendably report on the top accomplishments of his past two terms, aligning with his People’s Agenda 10.
