Sensing that there are priority projects and basic services that can’t wait any longer and need immediate attention, the Hon. Mayor Chiquiting Sagarbarria had to fish for funds somewhere. This is the reason why he had to travel to and fro, especially in Manila, to seek for opportunities of soliciting funds for use in the LGU-Dumaguete City, considering the fact that the City’s coffers alone cannot sustain the priority projects and services as planned.
As a matter of fact, Mayor Chiquiting had so far garnered P7 million from Senators who have shown interest to developing Dumaguete City.
In fact, last May 1st, instead of spending the Sunday with his family in their beachhouse in Bacong, Mayor Chiquiting traveled to Bacolod City to meet with Sen. Chiz Escudero III, along with the other Mayors in the island, to discuss possibilities of financial aid. True enough, as a result, an additional half million was added to the City’s coffers.
Among others, that is what you call serving the city of Dumaguete and its constituents 24/7.
Service 24/7
