Iloilo City stands as a shining example of progress and inclusivity, driven by a commitment to sustainable development and community empowerment.
Over the past six years, Iloilo City has
achieved significant milestones under Mayor Treñas' leadership, focusing on
initiatives that promote economic growth, cultural richness, and environmental
sustainability. These efforts have not only elevated the city's profile but
have also enhanced the lives of its residents.
Recognized for its vibrancy and
competitiveness, Iloilo City secured accolades such as being named the Creative
City of Gastronomy by UNESCO, celebrating its rich culinary heritage and
commitment to cultural preservation. The city's innovative I-Bike Program,
which promotes a bike-friendly environment and garnered the prestigious 2022
Galing Pook Award, underscores its dedication to sustainable urban mobility and
citizen engagement.
"Iloilo City is more than just a
place; it's a community where innovation meets tradition," remarked Mayor
Treñas. "Our achievements reflect our shared vision of building a city
that thrives on creativity, inclusivity, and sustainability."
The city's
commitment to fostering a business-friendly environment has also been
recognized, earning the 2023 Most Business-Friendly Local Government Unit (LGU)
award from the Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PCCI). This
accolade highlights Iloilo City's efforts in supporting local enterprises and
attracting investments contributing to economic vitality.
Infrastructure
development is pivotal in Mayor Treñas' vision for Iloilo City's future. This
commitment exemplifies the upcoming revitalization of the Central and Terminal
Markets through a public-private partnership with SM Prime Holdings. Valued at P1.5 billion to P2.5 billion, this project aims
to modernize market facilities, providing a conducive space for local
entrepreneurs to thrive and showcase their products.
"We envision our markets not just as economic hubs but as community centers that promote local culture and entrepreneurship," Mayor Treñas emphasized. "By revitalizing these spaces, we create opportunities for our vendors to grow their businesses sustainably."
(Iloilo City's Mayor Jerry Treñas oversees a site inspection of the Uswag Dialysis Center in Barangay San Isidro to ensure it progresses smoothly, aiming to promptly offer free services to residents.)
Steven Tan, President of SM Supermalls,
echoed this sentiment, highlighting SM's role in supporting local communities
and promoting sustainable development through infrastructure investments.
Looking ahead, Mayor Treñas remains
steadfast in his dedication to advancing Iloilo City's sustainable development
agenda. "Our focus is on building a city that nurtures innovation,
preserves our heritage, and enhances the quality of life for all
Ilonggos," he affirmed.
