Better Services, Better Governance in Makati
When I was first elected Mayor of Makati , our city was already a city of immense promise and possibilities. Makati has long been a symbol of economic power, a hub of innovation in governance, and a community with a vibrant culture. As a First Class City in terms of income, we knew our progress was only the beginning. We could achieve more.'But I believed then, as I do now, that a city as great as ours could not settle for 'pwede na,' or 'good enough.
Social and Economic ProgressIn 2023, Makati's poverty incidence stood at an impressive zero point six percent , the lowest it has ever been, and one of the lowest, if not the lowest, among major cities. Our Human Development Index or HDI, which measures the quality of life of citizens based on the quality of health, education, and standard of living, also rose to zero point nine zero three . The HDI goalposts, set by the United Nations Development Program or UNDP, range from zero to one.
