business development, investment facilitation, fi nancing facilitation, guiding and providing information on the various assistance of the government.

City Mayor Gerardo P. Valmayor Jr. said that thru said Negosyo Center, the services extended by the city government to local entrepreneurs will be enhanced and can also open more opportunities for them to improve and thrive.

Th e city government of San Carlos thru its Integrity For Jobs (I4J) Project, launched two programs for community development and good governance called Feedbox and Chika-Chika sa Mayor last July 29, 2016.

Two Feedboxes were installed at the city hall and public market respectively, to cater to the complaints or commendations of the public about anything that pertains to local governance and other legitimate issues in the community that need the action of the city government while the Chika-Chika sa Mayor aimed at bringing the city government closer to the people thru a forum where people in the community or of certain affi liation and the city mayor can meet up and

discuss important issues so the city government can do something about it, improve its services and create an inclusive growth as good governance aff ects the economy in a positive way.

Said Chika-Chika sa Mayor started with the public market vendors’ group facilitated by City Gov’t Ass’t Dept. Head 1 (CGADH1) and Offi cer-in-Charge (Public Market & Slaughterhouse Deparment) Leila B. Mansueto.

Said forum yielded many suggestions and queries, one by one resolved by City Mayor Gerardo P. Valmayor Jr. together with the heads

of various local departments who are members of the I4J headed by its Point Person Atty. Ma. Chat Delima, Dep’t Head of the Offi ce for Human Resource Management.

Valmayor encouraged local residents to support the present administration’s drive against illegal drugs and be vigilant to report any suspected illegal drug personalities in their community and other criminality thru said Feedbox.

Th e I4J has set to bring the Chika-Chika sa Mayor to other sectors and barangays of the city within 2016 including the Micro, Small & Medium Enterprise Dev’t. Council, and barangays I, Quezon and Buluangan.
