The production of a
volume summarizing the socio-economic profile of the city manifests the
emergence of a new political culture that is aware of the fact that
Bacolod City belongs to all Bacolodnons. With the
information comes a new sense of freedom, one that tells us that people
have begun to feel that resources are available, that possibilities are
opening, and that choices can be made.
Socio-economic profiling addresses the most
urgent need of people, especially our people for knowledge that
will help us to understand the human condition and improve our lives as
individuals and as members of the community. Truly, this endeavor offers
an opportunity to celebrate past achievements of the City extend our
grasp toward an even greater potential, explore new options and
directions for the future.
Let us remember that information has long
provided the key to the Filipino dream-the opportunity for each
generation to aspire to a life better than one enjoyed by the generation
before it. |
