Mayor Rebaldo and His SOMA
Mayor Raymar A. Rebaldo of Kalibo, opened his "State of the Municipality Address" (SOMA) with, "In the grand design of things particularly in Governance, we have achieved so much in just so little time with limited resources."
"The needs of Kalibonhons are clear and simple. Food on the table, jobs or livelihood projects and other programs that can benefit the most number if not all our people", Rebaldo stressed. According to Rebaldo, his municipal governance is concentrated on good governance, tourism and agriculture, education, peace and order, health and socio-cultural welfare, waste management and environment capability building and values formation, human resource development, physical and information infrastructure development.
On the whole, Rebaldo claimed his municipal administration has elevated the standard of public service delivery in the municipal offices of Kalibo. He cited his award received from the search for the Most Outstanding Public Officials and Employees given by the Civil Service Commission (CSC).
Kalibo was the first to formulate and to institutionalize an Agency Service Guide Handbook, which the CSC acknowledged.
His tedious historical research under the auspices of the Kalibo Council For Culture and the Arts, has concluded Kalibo to have existed for 434 years and used as basis in the enactment of Municipal Ordinance No.2005-049 to celebrate the Foundation Day of Kalibo on November 3.
Rebaldo cited his sound fiscal management that enabled LGU Kalibo to implement more programs and projects. Since 2004, LGU Kalibo collected more income than what were spent, he stressed. He pointed to the Municipal Treasury Office which received the most outstanding award in Region VI in 2003, 2004 and 2005.
Rebaldo was very happy to point out the establishment of the Community Broadcast Information System as a milestone, and the preparation, printing and distribution of a monthly newsletter "Hala Bira" for transparency and understanding.
In disaster preparedness, Rebaldo has revitalized the Municipal Disaster Coordinating Council. In economic enterprise development, Rebaldo pointed to a community – based project "Mangad It Kalibo" and the repackaging of the Ati Atihan to attract more local and foreign tourists to come and enjoy in Kalibo. He also talked of the Bakhawan Eco Park.
To ensure food security, Rebaldo cited his agricultural sector program, promotion of food trades, fishery development and livestock dispersal program.
In the field of peace and order, Rebaldo claimed to have fielded additional police vehicles to Kalibo PNP, trained barangay tanods to respond effectively to crimes. He cited the implementation of the municipal Traffic Code of Kalibo to have improved traffic circulation in his town.
To improve the health status of the Kalibonhons, Rebaldo pointed to the Rural Health Units which provide health services. The health program is complimented by his sports program like the palarong bayan, boxing and others.
Rebaldo was candid in the discussion of his Waste Management Program. He claimed 99 percent success in garbage collection, spending P2.6 million for the maintenance of controlled dumpsite.
In road building, Rebaldo stated: he spent P1,694,000 along D. Maagma Street asphalt overlay; P1.8 million for the construction of river control at Brgy. Bakhaw Sur.
