GENERAL SANTOS CITY — On July 3, 2024, Hino General Santos, managed by Motormall Davao Corporation, handed over 20 new Hino jeepneys to the Apopong-Lagao Jeepney Operators and Drivers Transport Service Cooperative (ALJODTSCO). This event highlights a major step in the Department of Transportation’s (DOTr) Public Utility Vehicle Modernization Program (PUMP).

ALJODTSCO Chairman Mila Eugenio expressed excitement about the new fleet, noting, “These modern jeepneys will provide smoother, safer, and more comfortable rides for our commuters.” She also urged the public to report any driver misconduct to maintain high service standards.

Pepito Castro, VP for Sales of Motormall Davao, highlighted the new jeepneys for being lighter, more spacious, and more efficient than traditional models. “These improvements will boost our commuters’ comfort and safety,” Castro said.

The PUMP, launched in 2017, aims to replace outdated public utility vehicles with safer, eco-friendly options. The success of this initiative was supported by the Land Bank of the Philippines for down payment assistance and the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) for route planning.

Hino General Santos managed the documentation, financing, and after-sales support for this project, marking a significant advancement in the modernization of the public transportation system in the Philippines.

GENERAL SANTOS CITY – The head of the City Agriculturist’s Office (CAO) appears to have disregarded an invitation from the city council to address concerns regarding the alleged irregularities in the distribution of a P100 million aid earmarked for those severely impacted by El Niño in the city.

City Councilor Froebel Kan Balleque extended the initial invitation to CAO department head Merlinda Donasco, seeking clarification on the selection process for aid beneficiaries.

This move came in response to mounting complaints alleging improprieties in beneficiary selection, with suspicions of favoritism.

During the city council’s latest regular session, Balleque noted Donasco’s absence, attributing it to the disapproval of the City Mayor’s Office.

“In the list of our invitees, we have Ms. Merlinda Donasco of the City Agri. But let it be put on record that there is no one from City Agri who is around now, because I was informed that they were not given authority by the City Mayor’s Office,” said Balleque.

In response, GenSan City Mayor Lorelie Pacquiao vehemently refuted claims of her office obstructing Donasco’s appearance before the city council.

Pacquiao clarified that the CAO was responsible for compiling the list of eligible beneficiaries for the P10,000 aid package provided by the national government.

President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. personally visited the city and presided over the distribution of said financial aid to 10,000 beneficiaries at the Lagao Gymnasium on May 10 this year.

GLAN, SARANGANI PROVINCE – Governor Ruel Pacquiao of Sarangani Province extended his appreciation to all attendees and participants of the recently concluded Sarangani Bay Festival 2024, held at Reyes Beach in Barangay Gumasa, Glan.

Governor Pacquiao attributed much of the success of SarBay Fest 2024 to the overwhelming support of the people, particularly the enthusiastic participation of tourists from across the nation.

“Many thanks to everyone who supported, attended, and especially the tourists who joined us to experience the excitement of the Sarangani Bay Festival,” said Pacquiao.

The governor also expressed gratitude to the provincial government staff, local police, military, and all individuals who contributed to the three-day beach festival.

Highlighting the festival’s significance, Pacquiao emphasized that the annual gathering not only showcases the beauty and richness of Sarangani Province to visitors but also brings joy to the people, especially the Sarangans.

During the festivities, Senator Imee Marcos, sister of the President, enjoyed the vibrant atmosphere and was impressed by the massive turnout at one of Mindanao’s premier beach parties.

Despite the fun and celebration, Senator Marcos issued a crucial reminder about the importance of preserving Sarangani’s natural resources and marine environment.

“Let’s not forget that the SarBay Festival was established for environmental protection, aiming to maintain the pristine beauty of Sarangani Bay,” Marcos emphasized.

Meanwhile, Sarangani Province recently achieved recognition as the fifth fastest-growing economy in the country, marking a significant milestone as it moves away from being counted among the Philippines’ poorest provinces. (JJ)
