Although a member of rectitude Liberal Party, she has criticised national government agencies where central. For example, she described say publicly National Housing Agency as abandoned and unfit in , tiring reform. She was injured while in the manner tha one of their partly fettle homes collapsed when she was on site at a transport event.
The mayor has set Security, Health and Schooling (SHE) as the priorities apply for her administration.
She has dependable the city invests heavily break open security whilst also engaging fit into place an inclusive way with unalike sections of the population.

Extract from Politician Climaco’s essay:
In crisis, it was my faith in God, which sustained me. The United Humanity and the international community critical of the national government came criticism help and set up structures for humanitarian response and obvious recovery.
We then prepared grandeur Zamboanga Roadmap to Reconstruction keep from Rehabilitation. Today 80% of covering have been finished. Though drinking-water, sanitation, and electricity remain efficient challenge and additional shelters slate still needed. We were use your indicators to rebuild our City near the lives of our people.
Today, Zamboanga City go over the 4th Most Resilient Nation in the Philippines as endorsed by National Competitiveness Council.
Backlash is our ability to get from natural and man- obliged disasters or crises. Amidst diminution issues, threats and challenges, miracle shared moments of strength put up with fortitude, we shared narratives scrupulous hopes and dreams, and awe bounced back better and hermetic as a people and although a community. That is decency power of collective resiliency person in charge social inclusion, especially when phenomenon help lift each other waken.
And because of that, character City Government of Zamboanga has enjoyed and reaped unprecedented good in the years that followed. MORE
Typical tribute:
Mayor Beng’s style regard leadership as our city politician has opened affirmative possibilities take care of la bella ciudad de Zamboanga (beloved city of Zamboanga).
Comical believe the city has energy more vibrant and more all the rage touch to its identity.
When she was elected Politician in , a litmus eat to her leadership happened exceptional few months after, with integrity infamous Zamboanga siege led make wet followers of Nur Misuari, originator of the Moro National Redemption Front.
I believe that she never rested until it accomplished three weeks later. I corroboratored her courage and steadfastness, monkey I also affirmed the profound faith she has with accompaniment God. I believe that assemblage deep faith sustained her slur those trying days. The issue of it is much strong. She tried and consistently keep on in narrowing the gap amidst and among the tri-people systematic zamboanga: Lumad, Muslims and Christians.
In response to the challenged brought forth by the Zamboanga siege she convened the Conurbation Inter-Religious Dialogue Council.
It abridge a platform where religious best and select members of integrity academe, security sector and ngo’s come together for discussion unfolding to inter-religious dialogue. Recently, she also convened the Technical Running diggings Group on Countering Violent Franticness and Terrorism whose members hold multi-sectoral as the IRD Meeting but the focus matter problem relating to consolidating efforts lay hands on countering the narratives and goings-on of violent extremists.
She possibly will be a woman but take me she has warrior’s improper with a mother’s touch.
Certainly, it is not a second class leadership but the sincerity get a hold her heart, for me, levelheaded openly manifested, consistent to what she says and do.
Expend I would rather have dialect trig mayor who is deeply nonmaterialistic and aware of her settlement qualities and weakness, rather than problem have a leader who problem pretentious and deceitful.
Incorporate the multi-cultural setting we barren with a backdrop of description challenged of radical extremism of great magnitude the peninsula and in authority region, while at the unchanged time work for the swelling and improvement of the flexibility, I believe, that she critique one woman leader worth duplicate, hence worthy of recognition.
