Urgent Recruitment of Medical Professionals: Pamela Seeks Doctors and Nurses Immediately
In a significant move for the Cebu province, Governor Pamela Baricuato has pledged to strengthen the province's healthcare system, create meaningful jobs, end corruption, and restore dignity to public service. However, specific details regarding her plans, including hiring strategies, partnerships with health organizations, or scholarship programs, remain unclear.
During her inauguration on July 1, 2025, Baricuato emphasized her commitment to improving healthcare services, mentioning the late Dr. Rowena Burden as a source of inspiration. Notable attendees included Sen. Rodante Dizon Marcoleta, Cebu City Mayor Nestor Archival, Danao City Mayor Ramon "Nito" Durano III, and many other officials, most of whom were either allies or members of One Cebu Party.
While job listings related to healthcare positions in Cebu City have been circulating, none mention Governor Baricuato or her healthcare initiatives specifically. The lack of detailed information about her healthcare plans has led many to look towards official Cebu provincial government releases or trusted news sources for updates directly related to her administration.
In addition to her healthcare plans, Baricuato has also outlined several other initiatives. She plans to update the Investments and Incentives Code and revive the Cebu Investment and Promotions Advisory Council. The new administration will also focus on digitalization to ensure transparency in government processes, aiming to make Cebu a hub for innovation, investment, and impact, not just for tourism.
Baricuato has also signed an executive order localizing the Freedom of Information (FOI) policy and urged the Provincial Board (PB) to pass an ordinance extending the localized FOI across the province. To cut "extravagant" expenses, the inaugural ceremony took place at the Capitol Social Hall, and the new administration will discontinue events such as Pasigarbo sa Sugbo and Suroy-Suroy Sugbo.
Mobile clinics and kitchens are set for deployment starting July 7, and the new administration will invest in training and upscaling, focusing on information technology, business process management, and vocational programs for the youth. Baricuato assures an environment that welcomes and encourages business through streamlined processes, honest governance, and a zero-tolerance policy on corruption.
As Governor Baricuato's term unfolds, it will be interesting to see how these initiatives unfold and whether more details about her healthcare plans become available. For now, the public waits with bated breath, eager for the positive changes promised by the new administration.
