Misamis Occidental—A total of 2,990 dedicated service providers in Ozamiz City were honored through the Ayuda sa mga Ozamiznon para Asenso program. Each volunteer received P3,000 in cash assistance, personally distributed by Cavite 1st District Rep. Ramon “Jolo” Revilla III on behalf of Ramon Bong Revilla Jr. This effort was a collaboration involving Mayor Indy Oaminal, MisOcc 2nd District Rep. Ando Oaminal, Governor Henry S. Oaminal, the Sangguniang Panlungsod of Ozamiz, and the Sangguniang Panlalawigan of Misamis Occidental. The initiative was part of the celebration of the 76th City Charter Anniversary and the Feast of the Blessed Birhen sa Cotta.

Mayor Oaminal emphasized the crucial role of service providers in the community, noting that these individuals deliver essential services, ensuring that even when direct assistance is not possible, their efforts bring progress to the barangays.

He also expressed his gratitude for the assistance provided by Senator Revilla, highlighting that the aid boosts the local economy as the funds are spent within the community, benefiting small businesses.

"We have not forgotten your hard work and dedication. Our friend, Senator Revilla, recognizes this and ensures that during our Fiesta celebration, you are among those who receive aid,’’ he shared.

During the Fiesta celebrations, a total of P50 million in aid and allowances will be distributed to various sectors.

Governor Oaminal stressed that this aid, in addition to infrastructure projects, aims to help the people of Ozamiz prosper, recognizing the volunteers for their efforts.

"You are being recognized for your volunteer work, service, and efforts to bring activities and services to the people in various barangays,’’ Gov. Oaminal shared.

Further assistance will be distributed to farmers, fisherfolk, Persons with Disabilities (PWDs), and the LGBTQ community on July 15 to 16, supplementing other social services programs including free hospitalization, distribution of agricultural inputs, road construction, and tourism development.

The local government expressed gratitude to President Bongbong Marcos, House Speaker Martin Romualdez, Senator Revilla, and MisOcc 2nd District Rep. Ando Oaminal for their continued support in developing the province.

In his video message, Senator Revilla thanked Governor Oaminal for his dedication to the people of Misamis Occidental and pledged ongoing support for the province.

"Thank you, Governor, for always taking care of us and helping our fellow citizens in Misamis Occidental. I see how much you love your people, and my office is always open to support your province. This is just the beginning, and I extend my heartfelt thanks to all of you."

Jolo Revilla also expressed his gratitude for the unwavering support his father received in the last election.

Furthermore, he informed the service providers that his father's work in the Senate led to the passing of important laws. These laws include the Expanded Centenarians Act, which gives financial benefits to elderly individuals, the prohibition of the "No Permit, No Exam" policy, the permanent validity of civil certificates, and the provision of a night shift differential pay for government employees, among others.
