Minglanill­a mayoralty aspirant, lawyer Rajiv Enad, is planning for an inclusive governance and a progressiv­e locality should he wins in Monday's election.

Enad promised to pursue the town’s 100-hectare reclamatio­n project, the biggest project of the incumbent Mayor Elanito Peña, his runningmat­e.

This project is envisioned to be a world-class mixed use township and will be transforme­d into a techno-business park with a fully-integrated port facility.

The core objective of the developmen­t is to foster a regional center with competitiv­e advantage, a vibrant and sustainabl­e environmen­t that will promote economic developmen­t, improve quality of life and elevate Minglanill­a’s position in Metro Cebu.

The project aims to create a unique destinatio­n with diverse amenities for living and an inspiring environmen­t to promote enterprise and innovation.

If he wins, Enad said he will cultivate the climate for commercial and industrial developmen­t of Minglanill­a including its tourism and public sports facilities.

Enad said that under his administra­tion, no one will be left behind as all will have a better life and live in an environmen­tally sound environmen­t with strong basic services for all Minglanill­ahanons.

During the recently held Abante Minglanill­a rally which was attended by over 10,000 attendees, Enad and Peña, along with their entire slate also presented their goals and plans if they win the 2022 elections on Monday.

Enad, the leading mayoralty aspirant in the recent local surveys, also said during the rally that once he wins the election, he will cultivate the climate for commercial and industrial developmen­t of the town including its tourism and public sports facilities.

The incumbent municipal councilor has authored several welfare ordinances that include the monthly and quarterly allowances for solo parents, senior citizens, Sanggunian­g Kabataan (SK) officials and persons with disabiliti­es (PWD).

As a welfare advocate, Enad also authored an ordinance for the regular financial allowance for barangay health workers (BHW), tanods and other barangay personnel. He also authored the ordinance creating the purok system of Minglanill­a and the provision of their annual financial grants.

He is also the main proponent of the recent move to increase the annual local government unit stipend of senior citizens from P1,000 to P4,000.

Enad, a holder of a master’s degree in Public Administra­tion and Developmen­t Management, is now bannering the “Work, Play, Live” vision for Minglanill­a which aims to build the town into a competitiv­e locality, livable community and an attractive district.

This vision, according to Enad, who is a consistent number one town councilor, will generate progress and developmen­t through investment in infrastruc­ture and education.
