AS part of Quezon City Mayor Joy Belmonte’s commitment to bring the city government’s programs, projects and services closer to the people, action offices will be established in each of the city’s six legislative districts.
She has signed Ordinance SP-3000, S-2021 or the Quezon City District Action Office Ordinance creating six district action offices and 42 co-terminus positions for their operation.
“This is part of our promise to bring the programs, services and projects closer to the people,” she said.
“These district action offices will serve as the city hall’s extension where people can bring all of their concerns and grievances for proper and immediate action.”
Aside from bringing the city government services closer to the public, the ordinance also mandates district action offices to provide immediate response to the needs and grievances of the residents.
They are also tasked to provide active, efficient and equitable government machinery at the lowest level, extend maximum service to the greater number of people and to engage the active participation of the private sector.
The district action offices are manned by co-terminus action officers, who will be appointed by the city mayor.
