Addressing initial data governance and privacy inquiries, Dr. Delaluna clarified that the primary mapping phases will utilize de-identified, aggregated barangay-level data, with child-level tracking only occurring after rigorous institutional ethics approval, informed parental consent, and secure data-management systems are locked in. ๐˜พ๐™ž๐™ฉ๐™ฎ ๐™‹๐™ค๐™ฅ๐™ช๐™ก๐™–๐™ฉ๐™ž๐™ค๐™ฃ ๐™–๐™ฃ๐™™ ๐™‰๐™ช๐™ฉ๐™ง๐™ž๐™ฉ๐™ž๐™ค๐™ฃ ๐™Š๐™›๐™›๐™ž๐™˜๐™š ๐™Š๐™›๐™›๐™ž๐™˜๐™š๐™ง-๐™„๐™ฃ-๐˜พ๐™๐™–๐™ง๐™œ๐™š ๐™…๐™ค๐™ฎ ๐™๐™š๐™ก๐™ž๐™ญ ๐™ˆ๐™–๐™˜๐™–๐™ง๐™–๐™ž๐™œ expressed strong support for the proposal, noting that while childhood stunting rates in Naga are currently low, the city's ultimate benchmark is to achieve absolute zero hunger by 2028.

During the preliminary segment of the meeting, various Punong Barangays lobbied for the immediate inclusion of urgent neighborhood-level interventions under other matters. These proposed projects included a lot acquisition in Barangay Liboton, the establishment of a Special Health Fund, the development of Sitio Iwid in Barangay Balatas, an Executive Order creating the Rabies Control Council, a flood control project along the Yabo River in Del Rosario, and riprap construction in Barangay Panicuason.

In response to these localized infrastructure requests, Mayor Robredo noted that the ๐˜ฟ๐™š๐™ฅ๐™–๐™ง๐™ฉ๐™ข๐™š๐™ฃ๐™ฉ ๐™ค๐™› ๐™‹๐™ช๐™—๐™ก๐™ž๐™˜ ๐™’๐™ค๐™ง๐™ ๐™จ ๐™–๐™ฃ๐™™ ๐™ƒ๐™ž๐™œ๐™๐™ฌ๐™–๐™ฎ๐™จ has offered a package of projects for implementation across strategic city corridors, including Sabang, CBD II, Triangulo, Concepcion Pequeรฑa, and Almeda Highway. To determine if the barangay requests are already covered under this package, she instructed the village chiefs to submit formal letters so the local executive can properly verify their inclusion.

This was followed by a series of intensive workshops from March 23 to 31, during which comprehensive performance reviews were conducted across all City Hall departments.

During the presentation, Mayor Robredo highlighted a major procedural innovation implemented by virtue of the cityโ€™s landmark Peopleโ€™s Budget Ordinance. This ordinance legally mandates all City Hall departments to actively ๐™ž๐™ฃ๐™ซ๐™ค๐™ก๐™ซ๐™š ๐™™๐™ž๐™ซ๐™š๐™ง๐™จ๐™š ๐™ฅ๐™ช๐™—๐™ก๐™ž๐™˜ ๐™จ๐™š๐™˜๐™ฉ๐™ค๐™ง๐™จ, ๐™ฉ๐™๐™š ๐™–๐™˜๐™–๐™™๐™š๐™ข๐™š, ๐™–๐™ฃ๐™™ ๐™˜๐™ž๐™ซ๐™ž๐™ก ๐™จ๐™ค๐™˜๐™ž๐™š๐™ฉ๐™ฎ ๐™ค๐™ง๐™œ๐™–๐™ฃ๐™ž๐™ฏ๐™–๐™ฉ๐™ž๐™ค๐™ฃ๐™จ ๐™ž๐™ฃ ๐™ฉ๐™๐™š ๐™ฅ๐™ก๐™–๐™ฃ๐™ฃ๐™ž๐™ฃ๐™œ ๐™–๐™ฃ๐™™ ๐™—๐™ช๐™™๐™œ๐™š๐™ฉ๐™ž๐™ฃ๐™œ ๐™ฅ๐™ง๐™ค๐™˜๐™š๐™จ๐™จ. This framework ensures that sectoral agendas are directly integrated into the municipal pipeline, effectively merging the Peopleโ€™s Plan with the city's operational budget.

Engr.

Commenting on the city's fiscal architecture, Mayor Robredo stated that 53% of the estimated 2027 revenue is projected to come from the national government, marking a strategic decrease from 58% in 2026. To counter this, she emphasized the city's goal to ๐™จ๐™ฉ๐™ง๐™š๐™ฃ๐™œ๐™ฉ๐™๐™š๐™ฃ ๐™ก๐™ค๐™˜๐™–๐™ก ๐™ง๐™š๐™ซ๐™š๐™ฃ๐™ช๐™š ๐™œ๐™š๐™ฃ๐™š๐™ง๐™–๐™ฉ๐™ž๐™ค๐™ฃ. She also noted that Naga will leverage national subsidies from agencies like the Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development (DHSUD) and the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) to finance major capital interventions, such as a detention dam required to absorb excess water runoff spilling into Barangay Del Rosario from neighboring Pili.
