Rama to visit retirement facilities in Japan

CEBU City Mayor Michael Rama is leaving for Japan on Monday to observe the operation of a retirement facility by a private firm there and determine the viability of operating a similar facility at the South Road Properties (SRP).

Rama said he will be traveling with SRP manager Roberto “Bo” Varquez and former councilor Jose Daluz III.

“It’s been made part of my State of the City address to make Cebu City into a retirement hub,” he said.

Also in his SOCA, Rama ordered the police to ensure peace and order in the city and for the Cebu Intergrated Traffic Operations Management (Citom) to improve on its traffic management system in preparation for his plans to make Cebu City into a retirement hub.

They will be back Monday next week./Chief of Reporters Doris C. Bongcac
