00:22and colorful costumes.
00:27This is how the City of Binyan welcomed the month of February
00:31as they commemorate Binyan Day.
00:34From February 2nd to the 4th, Binyan is celebrating its 16th cityhood anniversary,
00:4081st Liberation Day and its 279th Foundation commemoration.
00:45But this is not merely a look back at the past.
00:48It is also a recognition of Binyan's current success as a thriving city.
00:53Since 2010, the economy, education and healthcare sectors of Binyan
00:58have continued to surge forward.
01:00In fact, the local government has several upcoming programs
01:03including the construction of new schools and a city college that will be free for all.
01:08Apat na buildings na po, yung ini-aim natin na maging Binyan City College.
01:13Pinag-aaralan na lamang po kung magkakasundo.
01:18Iyon po, hopefully lalagyan lang natin yung mga basic na courses
01:22para alam naman natin kasi yung mas makakatulong po.
01:26They also plan to establish dialysis and chemotherapy centers
01:30to provide free medical treatment.
01:32Meron tayong mga tibigan na babalitan na natin.
01:38Naghanap lang ng lugar na lang mag-start na po yung ating
01:42magkakaroon tayo ng chemotherapy center dito po sa atin sa Lonsod na Binyan.
01:46And to address the city's top problem, flooding caused by overflowing of the Laguna Lake,
01:52solutions are underway through the planned construction of pumping stations
01:56and the imminent dredging of the lake.
01:58Lalagyan natin ang floodgates, i-isolate natin ang buong city sa Laguna Lake.
02:06Ang malaban, there should be at least 3 to 5 pumping stations.
02:14So pumping stations may floodgates.
02:16The local government promised they will remain focused on projects that directly benefit the public.
02:22They also prefer that instead of focusing solely on financial aid,
02:26they will prioritize projects that create jobs and sustain the city for future generations.
02:32Ang ganda ng mga projects ng city, education.
02:36We have to understand, kulang na kulang ang classrooms natin.
02:40Malaki ang gagastahin ng city government sa operation ng Hospital ng Binyan.
02:45Talagang nakita ko yung transformation ng mga programa, yung mga social services.
02:50Mas pagtutunan ko ng pansin yung long-term na mapapakinabangan ng mas nakararami.
02:56Makapagpagwa kay school, multipurpose hall, mapapakinabangan for the longest times.
03:01Pero especially, priority namin, schools talaga yung gusto namin ni Kuya Arman dito sa lungsod ng Binyan.
