Raymond Alvin Garcia has been officially installed as the full-fledged mayor of Cebu City by the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG), following the dismissal of former Mayor Michael Rama.
Garcia, who previously served as acting mayor, pledged to prioritize the improvement of the city's healthcare programs.
A key focus of his administration will be the completion and full operation of the Cebu City Medical Center (CCMC), which has been in a state of disrepair for a decade.
Garcia stated that he has already implemented changes within his first 30 days in office and intends to personally oversee the hospital's completion.
Former Mayor Rama was suspended in May and subsequently dismissed by the Ombudsman for alleged nepotism in his appointments.
