Taguig has been a quiet city for years. Now it's one of the top cities in the metro you must consider living in.


Over the past 9 years, Taguig has become one of the most progressive cities in our country, currently ranking as the 6th richest city in the Philippines. However, what benefits come with it and how is it really like to be a TaguigeƱo?

EDUCATION

Every leader is given various opportunities to create progress. It’s just a matter of priorities and how to envision change. To Mayor Lani Cayetano, education is not a privilege; it is a right! 

Consequently, education has always been the top-priority of our city government, that is why it boasts 57,318 proud scholars.


Among them, 2,153 licensed professionals, 33 top 10 board placers, and 324 honor college graduates have been produced by the Taguig City’s scholarship


In fact, this year’s city budget has risen from 5 million (2010) to 675 million pesos (2019) for scholarship programs alone – highest in the Philippines.


There are also more than 8,000 TLC (Taguig Learners Certificate) scholars whose tuition fee and miscellaneous fee are free and shouldered by Taguig. This scholarship is to those graduating from public elementary schools and will continue high school in partner private schools in the city.


Aside from this, high school students are given LANDBANK accounts for their monthly allowances alongside seminars for financial literacy. In addition to that, those who are sent to trainings and competitions are fully subsidized. 


Here in Taguig, education is ensured to be free, accessible to all, and attain utmost quality; starting from Kindergarten even up to Doctorate degree.

Although Taguig is highly urbanized, enhancing its agriculture seeks balance between modernization and tradition in the city. This allows Taguig to remain as ‘probinsyudad’.

Taguig has integrated urban farm along C6 road which is also a way to alleviate the expenses of Taguigenos due to its raw products as well as to promote a greener city.

In line with this, there is also Market on Wheels program that aims to ease the financial burden of consumers by selling products at prices that are much lower than those from the supermarkets. 


This initiative led to a partnership with the city government which enabled TaguigeƱo residents to avail affordable products sold at covered courts which were turned into a marketplace for selected days.



DEBT-FREE CITY

taguig history  taguig bgc  taguig city map  taguig venice  taguig city barangays  taguig tourist spot  makasaysayang lugar sa taguig  taguig city population 2018

One of the issues that plagues our country as a whole is our addiction to never ending debt. As a result, the government had “to squeeze basic services and maintenance expenditures, reduce investment in infrastructure, incur huge deficits, and raise taxes and user fees to service the debt,” the UP report said.

Roughly around 1.6 billion pesos was fully paid by the city government which was incurred from the previous administration.


TAGUIG CITY FREE WIFI

“The city simultaneously activated Wi-Fi hotspots in 28 barangay halls, 31 health centers, 3 Super Health Centers and 6 other locations: Taguig City University, Taguig City Hall, Lakeshore Hall, Mercado Del Lago, TLC Park and the Taguig Pateros District Hospital (TPDH).”


Every Filipino deserves to live in a debt-free city with high quality, top priority education and accessible health care; a city that is urbanized yet maintains to be green. To achieve this, everyone must “think BIG and dream BIG”.

All of the privileges attained by TaguigeƱos are worthwhile and made possible by leaders who truly prioritize and care for the TaguigeƱos for the past 9 years. READ MORE
