Fresnedi leading drive to normalize Munti gov’t services

Muntinlupeños are starting to get used to the “new normal” as Muntinlupa City Mayor Jaime R. Fresnedi strives to return government services to their efficient levels in spite of a dire lack of funds.

Fresnedi conducted a spot inspection throughout the City over the weekend to see for himself how the local government’s line agencies are doing their work and directed them to step up their efforts.

“The challenge for us, obviously, is how to make the most with our limited budget,” Fresnedi said. “But doing things efficiently and to the best of one’s abilities can offset our financial limitations; we can also accomplish more if we help out each other,” he added.

Fresnedi directed the Environment Sanitation Center to improve garbage collection and in maintaining cleanliness in the City by conducting more frequent collection and sweeping activities.

He also oversaw the distribution of financial assistance to more than 100 families in barangay Cupang affected by a court order directing them to vacate the property. The residents voluntarily dismantled their structures in compliance with the order and were given P5,000 financial assistance by the City Government to help them start anew.

Fresnedi likewise monitored developments concerning the City’s ability to cope with flooding and heavy rains with the onset of the rainy season. He then directed the City’s rescue and social services to maintain constant readiness, as well as the City’s traffic bureau to ensure accessibility on all roads during calamities.
