Taclobanons to benefit from highly- urbanized city
Posted: 2008-08-11
TACLOBAN CITY- Taclobanons stand to benefit a lot once Tacloban will become a highly-urbanized city (HUC).
This was emphasized by Tacloban City Mayor Alfred Romualdez during the “Forum with the Mayor” held recently at the University of the Philippines Visayas Tacloban Campus (UPVTC), this city.
“Presently, the congressman representing the First District has to divide his annual pork barrel of about P250 million among the seven towns and one city comprising the district. Once the city becomes an HUC, and subsequently, becomes alone congressional district, we will have our own congressman who will spend that amount solely for Tacloban,” Mayor Romualdez pointed out.
