President Rodrigo Duterte has proclaimed San Jose Del Monte in Bulacan as a highly-urbanized city, according to San Jose Del Monte City Rep. Florida Robes.
The congresswoman made the announcement during the inauguration of the City of San Jose Del Monte Convention Center (CSJDM) in Barangay Sapang Palay.
Robes said that the President, through Proclamation 1057, declared San Jose Del Monte as highly-urbanized city subject to ratification in a plebiscite by qualified voters in the city.
Robes, together with her husband, SJDM Mayor Arthur Robes, also led the inauguration of the CSJDM Convention Center, the first convention center in the city, which is part of Duterte’s Build, Build, Build program.
It is expected to encourage entrepreneurship and give full play to the development of more micro, small and medium enterprises in the city and at the same time attract more investments in commerce and industry to create more jobs.
“I am very honored to announce that President Rodrigo Duterte has declared our beloved city a highly-urbanized city. We have long waited for this and we will work more to make us truly deserving of this proclamation for the people of San Jose Del Monte,” Robes said during the inauguration.
She also delivered her State of the District Address (SODA) to appraise the city of the programs and plans they have been in place to help the city cope with the Covid-19 pandemic and other development projects for the city.
Robes, during her SODA, said the city is on its way to development with the implementation of inclusive, sound and sustainable programs to improve the lives of the people of San Jose Del Monte. “Our end-goal, of course, is to improve the quality of life of the people of San Jose del Monte. We have laid the groundwork for that and we are seeing the fruits of our hard work,” she said.
“We are now a city on the rise and I believe that we can push our city further forward through the help and support of our beloved San Joseno,” Robes said.
