Calamba City has seen tremendous growth over the past few years, It is Considered the heart of CALABARZON due to the number of companies housed in its area. It is also one of the premiere industrial hubs outside of Metro Manila providing great jobs to thousands. We need to capitalize on that growth by ensuring that we are creating sustainable jobs for Calambeños in every neighborhood and community and not just a selected few. We have to invest in our future by building and improving the infrastructure necessary to draw the high-tech jobs that will push Calamba City further forward.
Calamba City has a fundamental responsibility to protect its citizens. People in our city should feel safe, whether they’re strolling around town or shopping for groceries. Public safety plays a vital role in our communities, serving as a cornerstone of stability and professionalism.
