Taguig City Mayor Lani Cayetano on Monday vowed to visit all 28 barangays in two weeks to smoothly implement the city government's programs down to the barangay level.

Cayetano, who attended her first flag-raising ceremony on Monday after being elected as mayor, is also hoping for the cooperation of the barangay officials.

The lady mayor was joined by Vice Mayor Arvin Alit, city councilors of the 1st and 2nd districts of Taguig, and City Administrator Atty. Jose Luis Montales and other department heads.

Earlier, Cayetano emphasized programs embody her administration's three priorities: health, economic development, and peace and order.

She also expressed her intention to continue to improve the health programs developed by her predecessor, Mayor Lino Cayetano, especially those that seek to combat Covid-19.

As part of her administration's economic development thrust, Cayetano, on July 1, visited the Work for Pay Orientation at R.P Cruz Elementary School, which was attended by more than 200 poverty alleviation program beneficiaries from Barangays New Lower Bicutan, Lower Bicutan, Hagonoy, San Miguel, Tuktukan and Bambang. 

The Work for Pay initiative is a Tulong Panghanapbuhay sa Ating Disadvantaged (TUPAD) Workers of Department of Local Employment aimed at families affected by the pandemic but who are not among the national government's ayuda beneficiaries.
The TUPAD program was funded under Bayanihan 1 and 2, which were passed when now-Senator Alan Peter Cayetano and Cayetano were serving their terms in Congress.

The lady mayor had met  with Taguig chief of police Robert Baeza and Barangay Captain Pedrito Bermas at the Western Bicutan barangay hall, as she laid down her plans to ensuring Taguig remains a safe city.

"With the overwhelming victory of our slate lie a million dreams and a million lives that look up to us for leadership and guidance," she said. 

Cayetani lso signed her first executive order which institutionalizes a faith-based values-oriented leadership in the City.

 Under Executive Order No. 2022-01 Series of 202, Cayetano sought to establish a moral uprightness and values formation program ensuring that all Taguig employees continue to serve Taguigeños with  honesty and integrity as a "God-centered and people-oriented" local government.
