If I were Mayor of Quezon City, I would straightway improve Infrastructure to increase the city’s livability. Roads and pedestrian walkways must be clutter and obstruction free. I would give back the road to the vehicles and the sidewalks to the pedestrians. Vehicles must travel smoothly and people must move conveniently and safely to their destination. Mobility is directly connected to economy and productivity. Next would be upholding of peace and order. Safety and security of the residents including their properties must be monitored and polished. This is due to the reason that the city’s crime incidence rate is relatively high – based on news and personal experience. V. If I were to relocate: Top places to relocate if given a chance: 1.
