As a Mayor

"Like our moms, normally when you get sick, when you have a problem, the first person you run to is your mom. I want to make the people of Malabon feel, especially if they are having problems, may mga kailangan ng tulong, makakalapit sila, bukas ang pintuan ko anytime."

A mother-like care, that's what she said on an interview on June 27, 2022. As the city's first lady mayor, she added that she will take care of their residents better like a mother who has more sensitivity when it comes to their needs.^[10]

During her first 100 days as the city's chief executive, she showcased what she could deliver to her people, including:^[11]

• Handover of 37 housing units in Barangay Panghulo to informal settler families (ISFs).
• Distribution of 42 certificates of land allocation in Barangay Longos to the active members of the Naglakar Homeowners Association.
• Signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for the implementation of the housing program with Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development (DHSUD) Secretary Jose Rizalino Acuzar.
• Ensured that the city newly registered 868 Persons with Disabilities (PwD) and that 76 of them were given assistive devices.
• Declared the PHP 7,000,000 medical financial assistance was provided by the city to benefit 5,591 people.
• Establishment of the Malabon Shelter and Housing Office to support families in need.
• Completion of San Lorenzo Ruiz General Hospital construction.
• More support to businesses and jobs impacted by the pandemic.
• Regularization of job orders, casual, and contractual city hall employees.
• Improve local government services by streamlining processes and widening the adoption of technology.

She has been trusted as a new city leader by her people. Bringing the people's mandate, she brought the possible transformation in her first 100-working days. There is nothing more important than supporting the steps of local leaders aiming for the betterment of the city and its people.^[11]

On December 21, 2022, she signed a memorandum of agreement (MOA) with the Development Bank of the Philippines (DBP) and the Universal Storefront Services Corporation (USSC) to launch the “Malabon Ahon Blue Card.” The blue card, which will be given to each household in the city, will increase transparency and efficiency of her administration with the utilization of an electronic financial system to distribute social programs and services (such as financial help) to residents. She said they established the blue cards for the families to get their ayuda, conveniently.^[12]

Together with the Malabon local government, she expressed her condolences when Malabon's longest served mayor, former Mayor Maynardo Espiritu passed away on February 7, 2023, at the age of 90. The former mayor served from 1972 until 1986.^[13]
