MisOcc now reaping gains of sustained economic growth

 

Misamis Occidental Governor Henry S. Oaminal said the province is now reaping gains from its efforts for viable economic growth while emphasizing that the provincial government will continue thriving to further advance the economic activities under his leadership.

Parallel to pushing for sustainable economic growth, Oaminal said his administration is also keen to keep the province’s integrity and transparency in the delivery of public service to all Misamisnons.

In a video message, Oaminal highlighted the province’s previous achievements anchored to the 5M’s development goal of Asenso Misamis Occidental: Misamisnon Magpuyong Malinawon, Malambuon ug Malipayon.

Oaminal tackled the province’s agricultural development, wherein it has logged a significant increase in rice production—from 4.6 to 4.9 metric tons of yields in 2021, it spiked to 5.6 to 6 metric tons in 2023.

The governor also mentioned the intensified education initiatives in the province which include the launching One Family, One Professional program being implemented for the school year 2023-2024.

Under the program, about 3,200 grantees enrolled whether in vocational or tertiary education have benefitted from a provision of a P5,000 monthly stipend throughout the school year semester.

The province also made major a leap in the tourism industry with the establishment of major tourist destination facilities, such as Asenso Global Gardens.

Thus, Oaminal vowed to continue thriving to attract more tourists to the province. Oaminal sees great heights after the completion ongoing development plan of Asenso Misamis Occidental Resort and Aquamarine Park (AMORAP), and other tourist destination projects in several municipalities.

Oaminal also takes pride in the improvement in the province’s healthcare system wherein every Misamisnon is assured of quality medical treatment without going out of the Misamis Occidental.

“We are in full swing in this program because these are the necessary programs to expedite the attainments of our 5Ms development thrust. After all, that is the basic requirement for us to be living in prosperity,” he emphasized

The governor also boasts the reduction of crime rates in the province which were attributed to the local government’s collaborative peace and order initiatives.

"The goal of the administration is to be a drug-free, crime-free, and insurgency-free Misamis Occidental," he said.

He also mentioned the province’s efforts to annihilate if not curtail the insurgency problem in Misamis Occidental, by urging communist guerilla members to surrender and go back to mainstream society. Such effort comes with the provision of cash assistance to rebel returnees.

Oaminal stressed that it is equally important for the provincial government to also pay attention to the smallest unit of the government—the barangays.

Hence, Oaminal graced the distribution of at least 200 rescue vehicles to several villages in the province.

“Kining tanan atong na paningkamotan og execute with our same resources’ local resources as before, ato lang giayo pag-utilize and as a matter-of-fact mas ni ubos pa ang national tax allocation fund sa probinsya based on the three years annual revenue sa national government but ato kining nahimo pinaagi sa atong pagtambayayongay, ug inspiration,” he said.
