Biliran, Philippines – Governor Greg Espina recently laid out a compelling vision for the future of Biliran Province, focusing on inclusivity, improved health outcomes, and sustained economic prosperity. His address resonated with a promise of continuity and collaborative progress, building upon the strong foundation established by his predecessor.

A key highlight of the Governor's plan is the continued support and expansion of the highly acclaimed Walang Gutom Awards.

Beyond food security, Governor Espina's vision includes significant investments in healthcare infrastructure and services. He plans to strengthen primary healthcare facilities, expand access to essential medicines, and implement programs aimed at preventing and controlling non-communicable diseases. Initiatives promoting healthy lifestyles and wellness will also be prioritized, recognizing the vital link between good health and a productive workforce.

Driving Economic Growth

The Governor also outlined strategies to stimulate economic growth and create more employment opportunities. This includes attracting investments in key sectors such as tourism, agriculture, and renewable energy. Support for local entrepreneurs and small businesses will be a cornerstone of this strategy, providing them with access to training, financing, and market linkages. Furthermore, he is committed to improving infrastructure, including roads, bridges, and communication networks, to facilitate trade and commerce.

A Province for All

Governor Espina's vision extends beyond economic prosperity and health; it emphasizes inclusivity and ensuring that all residents of Biliran Province have the opportunity to thrive. He pledged to prioritize programs that support vulnerable populations, including marginalized communities, women, and children. By fostering a sense of shared responsibility and working together, Biliran aims to become a model province where everyone can reach their full potential.
