pleasant evening to every one!
Ladies and Gentlemen, this administration is guided by the word of the Lord.
In the book of Proverbs 29:18: “Where there is no vision, people perished…”
This administration has simple but clear visions:
1. To elevate the classification of the Municipality from being a 4 th class to 3rd class
Municipality.
2. Considering that we are a 4 th class Municipality and that we have no sufficient
local income, there is a need for us to solicit funds from the national government.
3. To implement my 4-point agenda as my platform of governance.
 to enhance the basic services of the Municipality
 to increase social services to the constituents
 to set-up a sustainable economic development
 to build infrastructural projects and institutional development
These are our visions. The question now is: how near or how far we are in achieving
these visions.
To answer the question let me discuss to you, vision #1:
To elevate the classification of the Municipality from being a 4 th class to 3rd class
Municipality. How do we intend to fulfill this? We need to comply the minimum
requirement of the law.
The law says, a 3rd class municipality shall have at least 5 Million pesos annual local
income or a total of 15 Million in the last three years.
How far we are in this vision?
2019: 5,557,725.46 2020: 7,559,045.82
2021: 9,102,051.64 Total: 22,218,822.92
Answer: We are now ready and very close to achieve our first vision
As a testament to these remarkable achievement, the BLGF and the Province of Leyte
have listed and recognized the Municipality of San Miguel, Leyte as the Rank 1 among
all Municipalities of the Province of Leyte with the HIGHEST COLLECTION
EFFICIENCY and the HIGHEST COLLECTION GROWTH RATE for FY 2020 on All
Locally Sourced Revenues.
Now let me proceed to vision # 2: Considering that we are a 4 th class Municipality and
that we have no sufficient local income, there is a need for us to solicit funds from the
national government.
How far we perform on this vision?
2019: 47 Million 2020: 363 Million
2021: 672.83 Million Total: 1,082,000,083.00
Conclusion: We successfully fulfilled this vision.
Third Vision: To implement my 4-point agenda as my platform of governance.
1. to enhance the basic services of the Municipality
2. to increase social services to the constituents
3. to set-up a sustainable economic development
4. to build infrastructural projects and institutional development
