Iloilo City Mayor Jerry Treñas recently acknowledged the role of the private sector.

“Private sectors in Iloilo City play a big role in the development of the city and in making things possible for the Ilonggos,” the mayor stressed in an interview with the media.

“I am happy that the private sectors are there and are active in supporting our activities because it's helping the city,” he adds.

At the same time, Treñas called on the private sector to coordinate with the city government and help the latter in the creation of more jobs for the Ilonggos.

“I am calling the private sector for a closer partnership with the city government,” he declared.

The mayor also said that the private sector is not only helping the city government in providing more jobs for the Ilonggos but that they are also in touch when it comes to extending aids to some of our fellow Ilonggos including the helping of fire victims in the recent fire that hit Barangay Concepcion last month.

To point out how thankful he is for the private sectors' contribution to the society, he even asked business and media magnate Mr. Rogelio Florete to include in his speech the calling of private sectors to participate more and never get tired in supporting government's future endeavors

The mayor also admitted that the city government can never be on its own even if it does its best and that the private sectors will always have a big part in running the city when it comes to providing jobs and elevating the lives of the Ilonggos.

He also added that the city is doing its best and is now actually focused on poverty elevation.
