“I am happy that you visited our place and rendered free services, this is a great program of Mayor Mike Rama,” thus said Lola Rosita Dominisac, 67, one of the thousands of residents of Barangay Mabolo who availed of the free services during the “City Hall at Your Doorstep” held Friday morning April 8, 2016 in Sitio Holy Name in the said barangay.

Dubbed as the “Feast of Free Services” the activity is one of the major programs of Mayor Michael Rama which was launched in the year 2010 during his first term as the city’s chief executive. It is already institutionalized with the aim to bring the services of the city government closer to the people and avail it for free sans going to the different offices in Cebu City Hall.

Meanwhile, thousands of Mabolohanons also availed the various basic services from the 22 departments of the city government which served as a one-stop shop with avail-all-services-you-can system on a first-come, first served basis.

Aamong the services rendered were medical and dental consultations with free medicines, random blood sugar testing, blood typing, feeding for children, Cedula issuance and anti-rabies vaccination for dogs and cats.

Other services offered were the repair and installation of street lights and artesian wells, consultation on traffic issues and concerns, consultations on the ‘Let there be Light Program’ and urban poor related issues, free hair cutting, job placement referral, pruning and trimming of trees, consultation on drug related issues, fire prevention orientation, and vaccinations for pneumonia prevention, among several others.
