Mayor: City will continue to aim high

CITY OF SAN FERNANDO — Mayor Oscar Rodriguez said Monday that the City Government will “continue to aim high and go for the best” for the sake of Fernandinos and Kapampangans.
Rodriguez shared Monday his experience in the recently concluded World’s Most Livable Cities of 2011 held in Songpa, South Korea. The event is a UN-backed annual International Awards for Livable Communities (LivCom), where the City of San Fernando was a bronze awardee.
“The mere fact that we made it to list of top 16 finalists is already an honor. The ‘whole city’ bronze award is good but is not enough because we have always aimed high and hoped for the best for Fernandinos and Kapampangans,” he told Sun.Star Pampanga.
Rodriguez narrated that it was a tough selection process where the City of San Fernando was categorized with bigger and wealthier cities.
“We were in category E — the biggest group with 14 — where the finalists are of the old civilization and with trillions in resources. Just imagine that. Still, kahit maliit lang tayo ay naipakita natin ang ating kakayahan. The bronze award was for a whole city, a separate distinction from the per project with foreign grants award like the one awarded to Iloilo City or the special award given to San Carlos City in the smaller Category C where there were only four finalists,” he said with a smile.
Aside from the special awards of Iloilo and San Carlos, Batangas City was also cited for its socio-economic projects.
The finalists are divided into five categories according to their average daytime population. There were also winners in categories covering specific projects, as well as a £10,000 bursary awarded to one community project each year.
The elite group of cities that fulfilled the awards’ range of key criteria covering environmental best practice, healthy lifestyle of citizens, community involvement as well as arts and cultural heritage, include Nieuwpoort (Belgium) Nanjing (China), Pfaffenhofen an der Ilm (Germany ), Bavaria, Songpa and Tongyeong (South Korea), and Joondalup in Western Australia.
“For the next LivCom awards, we will look deeply into the criteria and probably include our best practices like those in education and Ledac [Legislative-Executive Development Advisory Council],” Rodriguez said.
The LivCom awards annually bring together some of the world’s leading innovators in the field.
