Accomplishment Update 2009...

Dr. Jose Neil Timogan might have left Escalante City for a more promising life in Canada but for sure, he had painstakingly served the 21 barangays for the year 2009 with so much effort and generosity under Mayor Beboy Yap's medical mission program to the barangay.

From January to December, Dr. Timogan and his team have served more or less 6,500 patients in different barangays. The medical mission is integrated in the mobile social services which Mayor Beboy Yap has championed for the year 2009. This includes Medical mission, eye-care program which is being taken cared of our Women's Council headed By SP Virgie A. Pastor, feeding Program handled by SPM Ester Ampil, free massage, haircut, film showing and a lot more.

A salute to the men and women who participated in and are taking part in this very worthy endeavor.

These fulfill one of Mayor Beboy's dreams that is to bring some of our basic services closer to the lives of the escalantehanon.

Meanwhile, around 6004 Escalantehanons were able to avail of our Public Employment Service Office (PESO) programs from mid 2007 to 2009. This includes employment program for overseas employment, local employment, summer jobs for our students, passporting services, technical assistance ofr self-employed fellows and other services.

This strengthen our present administration's policy which is to open more opportunities for our fellow Escalantehanon.

MORE UPDATES TO COME....Happy weekend!!

Escalante City Closes the year 2009 with a Bang!

Mayor Beboy Yap of Escalante City must have been in 9th heaven as most of his plans for development for 2009 were implemented. Paskuhan 2009 celebration which opened December 16 and culminated December 23 was a huge success. Thousands of escalantehanon participated in the annual torch parade and were able to witness the inauguration and blessing of the newly constructed City Plaza Fountain-Lagoon which is now inviting spectators and offers a relaxing view for kids and adults alike in the newly renovated City Plaza. The annual 15-minute fireworks display also wowed the crowd which was followed by the switch-on ceremony. It is good to note that many business establishments and private institutions responded to the light-a-tree contest this year compared to the previous years.
The blessing of the newly-acquired 35-seater Mini Bus of the city was done earlier of the same day. This is in addition to the 65-seater bus which was previously acquired in order to cater the growing need of the Escalantehanons for a convenient transportation during activities and tours.
This year’s paskuhan 2009 offered a wide variety of spectacles such as Kris Kringle Contest participated in by elementary pupils across the city, Daygonan Competition which featured the secondary students from various high schools in the city, the city government employees Christmas party which presented various performances from various offices and agencies, a fashion event sponsored by our para-teachers of Local School Board funded literacy workers and the Brgy. Balintawak annual fiesta highlights such as the grand finals of the Balintawak Song and Dance Icons 2009 and streetparty.
Furthermore, Mayor Beboy Yap personally gave out giftpacks and “pamaskwa” with his Oplan: Nochebuena activity to more or less 15 thousand indigents around the city. As he said, “wala’y kabutangan ang akong kalipay nga mataga-an bisag gamay lang nga pang nochebuena ang atong mga kaigsoonan karong panahon sa pasko.”
Last December 26, 2009, the newly constructed Bureau of Fire Building located at Brgy. Jonob-jonob fronting the new Integrated Bus Terminal which is almost done was also formally turned-over to the agency. This will be followed by the inauguration of the newly constructed BJMP building which will be inaugurated sometime in January 2010.
The good mayor is very optimistic as 2010 starts with all his pending projects such as the on-going construction of the city coliseum, the slaughter house and the implementation of the city’s housing projects.
