Infrastructure

Congressman Treñas continues to promptly deliver infrastructure projects for his Congressional District. A good number of road concreting, asphalt overlay, and rehabilitation projects for Iloilo City roads were completed. Muti-purpose Buildings and classrooms were constructed or repaired. Drainage systems were constructed in various barangays in order to address the flood control problem of the city. All of these were accomplished in just his first year of office. Yet even more infrastructure projects are lined-up for Iloilo City.

Education

Congressman Treñas firmly believes that education is an intangible asset that is far greater than any treasure that man can possibly possess. Unlike material possessions, education does not depreciate. It is not susceptible to theft, garnishment or execution. It is attached to the mind, the soul of a human being. In fact, it is the fuel that drives the engine of sentiency, a gift that hones the intelligence of man. ThroughtheeducationprogramsoftheIloiloCitySolon,scholarshipsweregivento840 students. These bright and eager students were blessed with scholarships in the West Visayas State University, West Visayas College of Science and Technology, Univerity of the Philippines in the Visayas, and various other private colleges and universities. In partnership with the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA), several scholars were also granted aid through the Private Education Scholarship Financial Assistance (PESFA) program.

Health

The Iloilo City Congressman is fully committed to deliver health services to his constituents. Through his Priority Development Assistance Fund, patients from Iloilo City receive medical assistance from both the West Visayas State University Medical Center and the West Visayas Regional Medical Center. The Office of Congressman Treñas also engaged in a successful medical mission at Veterans Village, City Proper District, in partnership with the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation.

Social Services

Congressman Treñas supplements the delivery of social services by the local government and the DSWD through his Priority Development Assistance Fund allocation for the delivery and development of social services for his constituents needing assistance. Specialty training and livelihood programs were also funded through the fund allocation of Congressman Treñas.

The Iloilo City Solon also fully supports the Self-Employment Assistance-Kaunlaran (SEA-K) project of the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD). The SEA-K is a microfinance strategy program for small-scale entrepreneurs which do not have the necessary capital to jump-start their small business endeavors.
