BACOLOD CITY, Philippines – The officials of Pulupandan in Negros Occidental have named the food stalls after the late interior secretary Jesse Robredo, as a show of gratitude for recognizing the town’s good governance.
The food stalls, located in the public market, were constructed using the Performance Challenge Fund (PCF) amounting to P1,000,000 that was awarded by the DILG to the municipal government for winning the Seal of Good Housekeeping in 2012.
The Seal of Good Housekeeping is given to the best performing local government units across the country that showed transparency and sound fiscal management.
Since the grant of the PCF was generated through the efforts of Robredo, the municipal government deemed it best to honor the late secretary by naming the infrastructure after him.
