He made an assurance publicly, he will supports PNP and other the law enforcers for the maintenance of peace and order of General Santos City. He is positive said, the local government and law enforcers including AFP and media will work together harmoniously for the development of the city. Rivera added, “For the past few months, there is a signed of peace and order improvement of the city now”. But, on negative side, the wariness of the conservative group of GenSan is the increased of the single Mom and also teenage pregnant surrounding the city and the increased of HIV-infected cases of the city. 

Another negative side of effect for the prospect of investors coming to Mindanao. “Because we are from Mindanao, the impression of investors is so negative towards the region, who doesn’t know Mindanao”. Rivera said.

For the positive side, Mayor Rivera has its own plan for the updating of the city Comprehensive Land Used Plan (CLUP) - By laws all LGU is mandating to prepare and submitted CLUP to national office.

Mayor Rivera has some good point’s agenda in his local administration particularly on peace, security and development. He also discussed the expansion of the city in terms of economic and development as we seen now on the expansion of the road projects within city and somewhere else of GenSan. Rivera has in mind GenSan should have it showcase and roadmap plans for the promotion of the city for both local and even abroad, Mayor Rivera lamented in his impromptu message to us.

With this kind of leadership Mayor Rivera has reserved in mind imagining GenSan from the status of first class city to become modern and Mega City in a couple of years. What do think Generals? Maraming projects ang GenSan ngayon.

 He made mentioned on national economic perspective of Philippine economic growth achievement for the year 2012 and year 2013 from the National Economic Development Authority (NEDA) reports. 2012 growth robust 6.8% and 2013 growth of 7.2% respectively, but he has still wariness of poverty line threshold still on the ratio 25%. He is convincing local development planners to come-up with poverty reduction formula to reduce it even 15% at the end of 2016, Rivera suggested.

In his final and closing message as usual “Thank you very much…Daghang Salamat sa tanan”.
