I was impressed with the recent
improvements and infrastructure development happening through the city
especially the major road repairs and improvements, lessened traffic blockage
and widening of the road of McArthur Highway with the initiative and efforts of
the national government agency of the Department of Public Works and Highways
and in support of the city government of San Fernando led by honarable Mayor
Oscar S. Rodriguez and council.
A lot of people got impressed with this breakthrough of giving the city folks of San Fernando the basic services in terms of education, health, transportation and communication, trade and industry, environmental management, public safety and order, cultural preservation and good governance. Mayor Oscar "Oca" Rodriguez have given priorities in this agenda which has become beneficial for the city folks. With his track record of good governance, City of San Fernando transformed into major competitive city in terms of being the 2009 Most Business Friendly LGU in the whole Philippines. Mayor Oscar Rodriguez is among the 2005 finalist of World Mayor Award.
