A City Hall for the upland
With the establishment of the City Hall Annex, “people in
the upland barangays don’t have to come down and do their businesses here in
the City Hall,” said Ligao City Mayor Patricia Gonzalez-Alsua. Frontline
services are now available in the City Hall Annex. People can now apply for and
get copies of birth certificates, inquire on the requirements for civil
wedding, or request a National Statistics Office (NSO) copy of
documents-through batch processing- without having to spend more time and money
going to the City Hall or regional offices such as the NSO.
The City Hall Annex has representatives of offices that
offer frontline services, according to Mayor Patty Gonzalez-Alsua. These offices include the
Local Civil Registrar (LCR), Department of Social Welfare and Development
(DSWD), City Assessor’s Office, City Treasurer’s Office, and the Agriculture Office.
There are representatives also assigned for burial, medical, and financial
assistance. The representative office of the City Health Office (CHO), on the
other hand, is located at the Paulba Infirmary just three meters away from the
City Hall Annex.
The representatives of these offices travel every day from
the City Hall to the City Hall Annex to cater the needs of the people in the
upland barangays. Mayor Patty Gonzalez-Alsua stated the need for new employees that would take
over in the service for the City Hall Annex. “We are now considering hiring
people na taga-doon din sa Paulba. So
we just have to train them at sila na magte-take
over doon para hindi na tayo
naghahatid-sundo ng mga employees doon.
[We are now considering hiring people from Paulba. So we just have to train
them so they can later take over and the representatives no longer have to
travel back and forth.], ” said Mayor Alsua.
With the opportunities that came with the establishment of
the City Hall Annex, the local government also looks forward to having Paulba
as the business center for the upland barangays in Ligao City.
