● Make the Provincial Government of Leyte 100% free from graft and corruption.
● Make tourism as key permanent feature in the economic development
of Leyte. Tourist spots in Leyte must be made beautiful and attractive.
Beach resorts and tourism-oriented business establishments must be
granted, through legislation in the Sangguniang Panlalawigan tax
incentives/exemptions to enable them to improve their facilities and
expand their businesses.
● Invite outside businessmen and business establishments to invest in
Leyte and give them tax incentives/exemptions to enable them to expand
their businesses and thus hire more workers. This will reduce greatly
the unemployment problem in Leyte.
● Work for reduction of electric rates for electric consumers in
Leyte. This can be done by the Provincial Government of Leyte demanding
from the Department of Energy and Energy Regulation Commission the
implementation of special benefits to provinces hosting energy
generating facilities under the Energy Power Industry Reform Act (EPIRA)
and exempting electric cooperatives from local and national taxation.
● Establish livelihood programs. Those living in farming areas, as
much as possible, be organized into agricultural cooperatives and be
taught modern methods of farming. Those living in urbanized and
semi-urbanized areas shall be encouraged to enroll at TESDA and other
similar training institutions to enable them to acquire technical
livelihood skills. The Provincial Government, through legislation, must
grant financial assistance to those who enroll in technical livelihood
courses. Entrepreneurs shall be granted tax exemptions to encourage them
to put up small-scale businesses.
● Cause the enactment by the Sangguniang Panlalawigan of
appropriations for the improvement of barangay roads. Barangay roads, as
much as possible, be made into concrete roads as these roads serve as
farm-to-market-roads. Let’s give barangay residents a break by providing
them good roads.
● Work for the protection of the environment, maintenance of peace
and order and elimination of illegal activities (illegal logging,
illegal fishing, illegal gambling, etc.).
● Assist the Department of Education in its efforts to provide
quality education to our young people. The Special Education Fund (SEF)
of the Province, which is equivalent to 1% of the realty tax, must be
utilized for educational purposes.
