MAKATI CITY — The Makati City Government continued its push for accessible public service by bringing the “Bonding Muna sa UMak: Paglingkuran ang Bayan Caravan” directly to the University of Makati campus. The event transformed the academic grounds into a one-stop hub for teachers, students, and staff who often struggle to visit separate government offices during their busy schedules. By meeting the UMak community where they are, the city ensures that vital health benefits and livelihood opportunities are within easy reach. It reflects a responsive approach to governance that prioritizes the needs of the academic sector.
A Comprehensive Range of On-Site Services
The caravan offered a wide array of programs tailored to the diverse needs of the university population. Free medical consultations were available for those requiring immediate health checks, while representatives from various city offices assisted with applications for Makati Benefits IDs. For students preparing to enter the workforce, a local job fair connected them directly with potential employers right on campus. Partner national government agencies also joined the effort, providing additional assistance and information to ensure that no one was left without support.
Removing Barriers Through Direct Engagement
The success of this initiative lies in its ability to eliminate the common obstacles that prevent residents from accessing city services. By setting up shop at UMak, the local government demonstrates a commitment to making its programs truly inclusive, especially for the youth and educators who form the backbone of the institution. This effort goes beyond mere convenience; it is about ensuring that every Makatizen, regardless of their daily obligations, has the opportunity to benefit from the city’s offerings. The caravan stands as a testament to a caring and proactive local administration.
