(UPDATE) SWIFT wift action in disaster response, expanded health care services, strengthened social support, and sustained economic growth have marked the first 100 days of the second term of Malabon City Mayor Jeannie Sandoval, who vowed for more improved, results-driven governance. Under her administration, Sandoval said social services in Malabon continued to reach thousands of households. Through the flagship Blue Card Program, more than 93,000 household heads received financial assistance, including solo parents, senior citizens, and families in need, complemented by livelihood training programs for persons with disabilities, daycare learners, and youth. Sandoval told The Manila Times on Wednesday that in times of calamity, the city government provided immediate relief to affected residents — distributing over 1,500 food packs, 900 hygiene kits, and 5,000 hot meals to evacuees, with the support of volunteers and partner agencies. In the field of health, thousands of residents benefited from the "Lab for All" initiative. At the same time, the new 200-bed San Lorenzo Ruiz Hospital building was formally inaugurated, expanding access to quality medical care for Malabueños, the city’s first female mayor said. The upgrade of the hospital from a 10-bed to a 200-bed capacity was made possible by the initiative of former congressman and first gentleman Ricky Sandoval, who authored House Bill 7362, City Administrator Alexander Rosete said. Economically, Rosete said, Malabon emerged as the second fastest-growing city in the National Capital Region in terms of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth, based on the records from the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) — “a testament to the growing confidence of investors and entrepreneurs.” This milestone was achieved through the city’s continued support for businesses, including the implementation of the Electronic Business One-Stop Shop (eBOSS), which made business permit processes more efficient and accessible, the city government said. Last month, over 1,100 job seekers participated in city-led job fairs, with 200 hired on the spot. Meanwhile, nearly 1,000 residents gained temporary employment under the Tulong Pangkabuhayan para sa Disadvantaged Workers and the Special Program for the Employment of Students. Environmental efforts continued citywide through regular dredging, cleanup drives, and tree-planting activities, alongside the maintenance of over 40 pumping stations. The “Mobile Jeannie” Services program also brought essential support to flood-prone areas — from cleanup operations to water distribution. The initiative delivers mobile services such as Mobile Laundry, Mobile Shower, Power Washer, and Mobile Charging Stations to communities across its 21 villages, the city administrator said. The city government also pushed forward with various infrastructure projects, including road clearing, drainage improvements, and housing programs for families relocated to resettlement sites. Malabon completed its Executive-Legislative Agenda for 2026–2028 and achieved the ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management Certification, affirming the city’s commitment to efficient, transparent, and high-quality public service. Meanwhile, the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) recognized the city as the Best Local Government Unit in implementing DOLE’s Integrated Livelihood Program — underscoring effective leadership and collaboration in promoting local livelihood opportunities. The city was also recently recognized by the National Anti-Poverty Commission (NAPC) for its successful poverty-reduction efforts. According to NAPC, Malabon’s poverty incidence dropped to 1.5 percent (approximately 1,380 families) in 2023 — a significant improvement from 2.9 percent (or 2,620 families) recorded in 2021.
