Valenzuela City Celebrates 328 Graduates from Alternative Learning System (ALS)

The main graduation ceremony was held today, July 16, 2025, at the ALERT Multi-Purpose Center Hall, recognizing 297 completers from the regular ALS program, 33 at the elementary level and 264 at the junior high school level.

 

In addition, separate ceremonies were held on July 15 for ALS learners in specialized settings. At Balai Banyuhay, the city’s reformation center, 1 elementary and 7 junior high school learners completed their programs. At the Valenzuela City Jail, 1 elementary and 14 junior high school learners also graduated, marking an important milestone in their journey toward rehabilitation and reintegration.

 

The Alternative Learning System (ALS) is a parallel learning system implemented by the Department of Education (DepEd) to cater to out-of-school youth, adult learners, and others who may have been unable to finish basic education in a formal school setting. It offers flexible learning modalities, including face-to-face sessions, modular instruction, and digital learning.

 

In Valenzuela City, ALS implementation is supported by 79 ALS implementers across 47 Community Learning Centers located in different barangays. These centers serve as accessible venues for learning, empowering thousands of learners to complete their education and improve their opportunities in life and livelihood.

 

As Valenzuela City continues its commitment to the Valenzuelife campaign, initiatives like ALS remain a vital part of building an inclusive and empowering community where learning is lifelong, and no one is left behind.

Valenzuela City Commemorates Dr. Pio Valenzuela’s 156th Birth Anniversary

Dr. Pio Valenzuela was a member of the Katipunan's triumvirate—the other two were Andres Bonifacio and Emilio Jacinto. From 1892 until the start of the revolution in 1896, he played a significant part in the Katipunan's expansion. Dr. Pio Valenzuela, an ilustrado with a bright future as a doctor, could have lived a comfortable life, but instead he joined the Katipunan revolutionaries—exhibiting such fervour, conviction, and selflessness.

Dr. Valenzuela served as the first mayor of the municipality of Polo—now Valenzuela City—under the American occupation. He became the governor of Bulacan province in 1919 and served in the office until 1925, when he left politics to focus on his career as a doctor.

The city of Valenzuela, which continues to thrive over time, does not forget its roots and always draws lessons from its vibrant history to use in its present predicament. In line with this, some of the city government's projects are even named after Dr. Pio Valenzuela—one of which is the Dr. Pio Valenzuela Scholarship Program. In this educational program, financial assistance is provided to students who hope to pursue higher education. The aim of the program is to provide a little relief to the Valenzuelanos by easing the financial strain of educational expenses.

Moreover, through the Gatchalians, Dr. Pio Valenzuela's ancestral house was preserved and converted to a museum, which now caters to people wanting to experience even just a glimpse of his life. The museum is open to the public. It features various artifacts, documents, and exhibits that celebrate the life of Dr. Valenzuela and the broader struggle for Philippine independence. Visitors can explore curated galleries that showcase personal memorabilia, photographs, medical tools used by Dr. Valenzuela, and reproductions of Katipunan literature for free. Each room is designed not only to educate but also to evoke a sense of pride and reflection.

Dr. Pio Valenzuela has had a significant impact on Valenzuela City, both historically through his contributions to the Philippine Revolution and in terms of the city's current identity and development. His dedication to fighting for independence, as well as his role inside the Katipunan, established him as a key figure in Philippine history. Through the renaming of Polo to Valenzuela, the people of the city ensured that his legacy would never be forgotten. Today, as Valenzuela City continues to grow, Dr. Valenzuela’s spirit of determination, service, and patriotism remains a guiding force, underscoring the importance of his role not only in the past but also in shaping the future of the city.

Over 72,000 Valenzuelano Senior Citizens Receive Early Christmas Gift as Valenzuela City Rolls Out Pasko sa Hulyo 2025

With a total budget of PhP 35,640,000, the initiative is a reflection of the city’s continuing commitment to its senior citizens, ensuring that no one is left behind in the pursuit of a comfortable and dignified life. Beneficiaries include all senior citizens who were registered with the Office of the Senior Citizens Affairs (OSCA) on or before April 30, 2025.

 

To ensure a smooth and organized implementation, rice gift vouchers were distributed house-to-house in advance by OSCA and barangay personnel. These vouchers indicate the date, time, and venue of the scheduled rice distribution, allowing beneficiaries and their families to prepare accordingly.

 

For senior citizens who may be unable to personally claim their rice packs, they may assign an authorized representative to claim on their behalf. The representative must present the Pasko sa Hulyo voucher, a valid ID of the claimant, an authorization letter signed by the senior citizen, and a valid OSCA-issued ID of the beneficiary.

 

The first day of distribution saw thousands of seniors and representatives gathered at designated barangay venues, many expressing gratitude for the city's continued support. With the assistance of OSCA, the City Social Welfare and Development Office, and barangay councils, each site was carefully organized to provide a safe and efficient distribution process.

 

Mayor WES Gatchalian reaffirmed the city’s unwavering support for its elderly population, stating that Pasko sa Hulyo is not just about giving rice, it is a sincere expression of the city’s gratitude for its Lolos and Lolas who have helped build Valenzuela into what it is today. Through programs like this, he added, the city continues to build a more compassionate and responsive government, where every Valenzuelano regardless of age, can live a secure, supported, and meaningful life.

 

Only senior citizens who are residing in Valenzuela City and officially registered with OSCA as of April 30, 2025 are eligible to receive the 10-kilogram rice gift under this year’s Pasko sa Hulyo. As the program continues in the coming days, it stands as another testament to the city’s promise of delivering progressive and inclusive service in line with the Valenzuelife campaign.

State of the Health Address 2025 Highlights Accessible and Dignified Healthcare for Pamilyang Valenzuelano

Mayor WES reported that the city’s health care is now guided by five focused agendas: availability of medicines, availability of doctors, affordability of health services, patient-centered care, and the improvement of health facilities. Under his leadership, the city increased its total health budget from PhP 88.7 million in 2024 to PhP 127.5 million in 2025, significantly enhancing access to essential medicines, especially for senior citizens who now receive a complete one-month supply of maintenance medicines for conditions like hypertension, diabetes, and high cholesterol. Over-the-counter medicines such as paracetamol, antibiotics, and oral rehydration salts are now consistently available across all health centers.

The city also made major improvements in medical personnel deployment. From only 49 doctors in 2023, Valenzuela now has 82 doctors assigned full-time to health centers, exceeding the Department of Health’s standard of one physician per 20,000 population, with the city now achieving a ratio of one per 9,096. This expansion, complemented by increased numbers of nurses, dentists, and midwives, will drastically reduce wait times and ensure continuity of care in every barangay. Hiring continues for additional doctors, dentists, and support health staff.

Equally prioritized is affordability. Valenzuela City also continues to break barriers in access to health services by making all clinical laboratory tests and lying-in clinic services completely free of charge. This includes previously paid services such as urinalysis, complete blood count, normal delivery, and newborn screening. By removing these costs, the City ensures that no Valenzuelano is burdened with medical expenses at the most crucial moments, further reinforcing Mayor WES’ promise of health care without hassle or worry. In support of dignified treatment, health workers underwent the 3S in Public Service training — Service, Smile, and Sincerity — to reinforce patient-centered and courteous service. “Happy or Not” smiley feedback buttons were also introduced at health centers to directly gauge patient satisfaction and further improve service delivery.

Mayor WES also proudly reported the city’s aggressive health facility upgrades. From seven lying-in clinics, Valenzuela now has ten, with two more undergoing rehabilitation. Five new Sentro Health Hubs are set to rise in strategic barangays Mabolo, Karuhatan, Canumay West, Lawang Bato, and Mapulang Lupa, offering outpatient care, dental and maternal services, minor surgery, and basic laboratory testing, and will operate daily, including weekends and holidays. These hubs are complemented by renovations in existing facilities, such as improved waiting areas, fully air-conditioned hallways, and new dental chairs for 40 centers.

At the heart of the city’s health transformation is the soon-to-rise Valenzuela Health Ambulatory and Surgical Center, a PhP772 million three-storey, 16,000 square meter facility offering advanced ambulatory services, radiology, chemotherapy, physical therapy, women’s health care, and minor surgeries. Phase 1 is scheduled to open in June 2026, while Phase 2, a 100-bed Level 1 hospital, will begin construction in July 2026. This project is in partnership with AC Health and aims to provide specialized health services to more Valenzuelanos without the need to leave the city.

Beyond clinics, the City Government continues to support the health of public school students through mobile medical and dental vans, providing check-ups, medicines, and free eyeglasses for selected elementary pupils. Under the Workers Education and Skills Upgrade Program (WES-UP), over 600 Barangay Health Workers have already been certified by TESDA, elevating the standard of frontline health service delivery across communities.

“Health care na hindi hassle, serbisyo na walang kaba, ganyan sa Valenzuela,” Mayor WES declared, as he reaffirmed his commitment to building a health care system that leaves no one behind. The State of the Health Address underscored the City Government’s vision of progress that is inclusive, grounded on dignity, and responsive to the everyday needs of its people.

The mayor underscored that the next three years will serve as a fresh start, fresh mandate, and a boost of energy to build a foundation of efficient governance, to make the city a more liveable city. Guided by the principles of Valenzuelife, a vision of a livable and empowered Valenzuela for all, he promised to intensify efforts to bring quality services closer to every barangay and to ensure that no sector is left behind.

 

Joining Mayor WES in leading the city are newly elected Vice Mayor Marlon Alejandrino, First District Congressman Kenneth Gatchalian, and Second District Congressman Gerald Galang. They will serve alongside the twelve members of the Sangguniang Panlungsod, composed of Cris Feliciano-Tan, Ghogo Deato-Lee, Atty. Richard Enriquez, Atty.

Together, this group of leaders will continue to work toward legislative measures and projects that support the city’s agenda in education, health, infrastructure, public safety, and economic development.

With a renewed mandate and a unified team at the helm, the City Government of Valenzuela looks forward to continuing its momentum of progress, innovation, and service, always in line with Valenzuelife and in service to every Pamilyang Valenzuelano.

Valenzuela Opens Newly Renovated Emergency Hospital, Multi-level Parking Building

In line with the plans to redevelop the emergency hospital that stands more than a decade, the city allocated a total cost of PhP 70,995,764.18 that will be utilized to improve the facilities and equipment of the 3-story infirmary that also has a 50-bed capacity. The renovation works covered a total floor area of 3,320 square meters, which includes the main lobby, medical wards, laboratory, pharmacy, X-ray room, isolation wards, doctors’ quarters, and the administration office.

In the bargain, the newly improved VCEH now has an operational hemodialysis centre in partnership with AC Health. The facility is equipped with 12 hemodialysis machines and chairs. Additionally, PhilHealth will cover up to 156 sessions at a maximum per year, which cost approximately PhP 6,000 each in order to assist the patients in bearing the significant financial burdens. While the excess expenses will be taken care of by the Medical Assistance to Indigent and Financially Incapacitated Patients (MAIFIP) Program.

 

On the flip side, coincidental with the momentous inauguration of the emergency hospital, the multi-level parking building was built right beside it that is designed to accommodate more vehicles carrying the patients—especially government vehicles such as ambulances. The 2-story parking building cost PhP 61,031,075.21 and has a total floor area of 2,223 square meters. The aforementioned facility has 37 parking spaces, four concessionaire spaces, a dining area, and restrooms. The decision to set aside a large space for cars was made in response to the congestion dilemma as clients arrive at the emergency hospital simultaneously. 

 

In his message during the ceremony, Mayor WES conveyed his enthusiasm for the succeeding health programs he has in store for Valenzuela City. As part of his Valenzuelife campaign—a city where everyone appreciates the beauty of life—he outlined his future goals to further improve the healthcare system. He said, “Natutuwa po ako na bago matapos ang aking unang termino ay nagawa po nating magawa ang lahat ng ating renovation at upgrading sa ating ospital na ito. As you can see, more than 13 years na po ang ating pasilidad [at alam naman po natin] na ito ang isa sa pinakaimportanteng pasilidad sa Valenzuela. Maraming buhay na po ang naisalba ng pasilidad na ito. Bagamat marami na tayong na-budget-an na proyekto, para po sa akin, pinakamahalagang pagandahan ang VCEH.” [I feel proud that before my first term ends, we were able to complete all the renovations and improvements in our hospital. As you can see, our facility has been operational for more than 13 years, and we all know that it's one of the most important facilities in Valenzuela. Many lives have been saved by this facility. Although we have established budgets for several projects, but for me, VCEH should be our top priority].

 

Moreover, the local government vows to institute and outline initiatives for the betterment of the healthcare system in Valenzuela City.  On July 1, 2025, Mayor WES Gatchalian will deliver his 1st State of the Health Address (SOHA) to further lay his plans on the health sector.

“Bawal ang Street Gangs sa Valenzuela City!” Valenzuela Strengthens Fight Against Street Gangs

As the new school year approaches, the City Government of Valenzuela, led by Mayor WES Gatchalian, has left words of warning for the existing street gangs in the city who were involved in illegally recruiting minors and causing havoc or disturbance in the peace and order of Valenzuela City; with statements given through a comprehensive press conference with the media and the students from the Dalandanan National High School, on June 16, 2025.

 

The press conference was held on the first day of the school year to serve as a reminder for students to prevent themselves from being associated with any street gangs or partaking in any illegal activities, particularly physical and sexual violence. The panel is spearheaded not only by Mayor WES but also by the governing peace and order officials such as the Action Officer for Task Force on Fraternities and Gang Intervention and Prevention (TAFFGIP), District 1 Councilor Ghogo Deato-Lee; District Director of the Northern Police District, PBGen. Josefino Ligan; OIC of Valenzuela City Police Station, PCOL. Gerson Bisayas; Chief of State Community Affairs, PMAJ. Randy Llanderal; and Schools Division Superintendent, Mr. Noel Bagano.

 

PMAJ. Llanderal provided an overview of the current situation revolving around gangs. He outlined the common reasons why such gangs recruited minors and also cited some of their gruesome initiation rites which is a cause of concern for the safety of the youth. There were also reported rape cases and illegal drug use that were reported. Additionally, he also stated that certain bodily marks signifying their membership to said gangs are some of the police’s leads in order to identify their so-called “OG” or “Original Gangster”, which signified the leader of the street gang.

 

As the police were enforcing laws of order, the City Council, represented by Councilor Ghogo Deato-Lee, had authored a firm ordinance and resolution to prevent these street gangs from forming and expanding membership across the city. He explained in the conference the City Ordinance No. 1262, Series of 2025 – also known as “An Ordinance Prohibiting the Creation and Operation of Street Gangs, Recruitment of Minors to Take Part in Violent Gang Activities, and Activities that Disrupt Public Peace and Order” — which provides administrative and criminal sanctions to whoever will be caught recruiting or causing any disturbance in the city as an active member of a gang. Section 5 provides administrative penalties for any person who violates the code: the First Offense amounts to PHP 1,000.00, the Second Offense amounts to PHP 3,000.00, and the other Succeeding Offense shall amount to PHP 5,000.00, respectively. Meanwhile, Section 7 states that should any offender fail to comply with his/her obligations, a filing of a case in the court may ensue and upon conviction thereof, they may be punished by a fine of PHP 1,000.00 or imprisonment of not more than 30 days or both.

 

In support of the Anti-Gang Ordinance, Resolution No. 3467 was also passed which declares all identified gangs in the city, and their respective members, as “persona non grata” or “unwelcomed persons”  in the context of law. This is to further prevent any of their illegal operations and involve more vulnerable persons in their federation. 13 identified gangs in the city were declared persona non grata, namely:

 

 

In his statement, Mayor WES expressed his serious resolve in addressing these alarming cases of gang violence and how he intends to mobilize the city departments and the police force to sustain public safety. “Binibigyan natin ng prayoridad ang sekyuridad ng inyong mga anak, sa loob man o sa labas ng Valenzuela. One year na ho nating pinaghahandaan ang araw na ito at ang programang ito at hinahabol ang mga gangs na kumakalat sa Valenzuela.”

 

Lastly, PBGEN. Ligan of the Northern Police District demonstrated the police’s swift response through a test of real-time response to reported cases. This is his way of reassuring that the police are bolstering their visibility to properly monitor far-flung areas and immediately respond to any emergencies.

 

The collaborative efforts of the governing officials and the police force were forged to ensure public safety by heightening awareness of the issue of gangs and preventing them through the passed ordinance and resolution. To maintain a liveable Valenzuela City, the local government shall continue to exhaust means to protect the Valenzuelano youth at all times.

2 Pulis-Maynila na Nanakit ng Traffic Enforcer sa Valenzuela, Sibak sa Serbisyo

Sa inilabas na desisyon ng lupon laban kina PSSg Ernesto Camacho Jr. at PSSg Robert Masong Cabudoy Jr. ng Manila Police District (MPD) ay pinapanagot ang dalawang pulis-maynila sa kanilang kasong kinakaharap.

 

Matatandaang noong Hulyo 14, 2024, sa salaysay ng biktima, pasado alas kwatro ng umaga, habang bumabiyahe papasok ng trabaho ang biktimang si David sa kahabaan ng kalye M.H. Del Pilar, Brgy. Mabolo, Valenzuela City, napansin niya ang dalawang sakay ng motorsiklo na pawang walang mga suot na helmet at naka-tsinelas lamang. Binabalak pa lamang umano niyang sitahin ang mga ito nang bigla na lamang siyang nitong salubungin para komprontahin.

 

Nang makorner si David ng mga nakamotor ay bumaba ang mga ito at nilapitan siya. Doon na napag-alaman na mga parak ng Maynila ang dalawa. Una siyang nilapitan ng angkas ng motor na si Camacho, bumunot ng baril, at itinusok sa kanyang sikmura. Namilipit sa sakit ang biktima habang ang kanyang motor naman ay natumba. Tila lalo namang umangat ang tensyon noong sumunod na lumapit ang nagmamaneho ng motor na si Cabudoy. Naglabas din ito ng baril at itinutok sa biktima. Habang nakatutok sa biktima ang baril ay nagbanta pa ito kay David, “Gusto mo patayin na kita rito?”

 

Noo’y lumapit  ang isa pang kasamahang pulis ng dalawa na nagpakilalang si PCpl James Dale Vargas Dela Peña, at agad namagitan sa insidente. Iniabot niya ang tumilapong helmet sa biktima at pinaalis na ito upang hindi na magkagulo pa. Sinamantala naman ito ng mga suspek at agad na lumipad patungong Malanday.

 

Sa kabilang banda, nahatulang guilty ng Metropolitan Trial Court ang mga suspek sa kasong Grave Threats at Physical Injury–sa bisa ng R.A. No. 10951–at pinatawan ng parusa ayon sa bigat ng kanilang nagawa.  Si Camacho ay makukulong hanggang 20 araw at magbabayad ng PhP 5,000 halaga para sa pinsalang moral, habang si Cabudoy naman ay mapipiit nang hanggang apat na buwan at magbabayad ng danyos na PhP 10,000.

 

Sa isang presscon na pinangunahan ni Mayor WES Gatchalian, binati niya ang mga taong nagtulong-tulong upang panagutin ang mga sigang pulis. Pinasalamatan niya rin ang pamunuan ng MPD sa kanilang pakikipagtulungan para sa mas mabilis na paggulong ng kaso. Tiniyak din ni Mayor WES na walang pangamba mula sa mga abusadong pulis sa Valenzuela City. Ibinigay niya ang kanyang buong suporta sa mga kawani ng pamahalaang lungsod at siniguradong lagi siyang nakaagapy sa kanila. Aniya, “Dito sa Valenzuela, hindi natin tinotolerate ang mga bastos at siga. Dito sa Valenzuela, mahal ko ang mga kawani natin sa city hall. Bilang ama ng lungsod at kayo ang aking anak, ipagtatanggol ko kayo hanggang sa dulo.”

 

Sa ginanap na media briefing ay dumalo rin sina PLEB Chairperson Councilor Ricar Enriquez, Valenzuela City Transportation Office (VCTO) Head Jose Valenzuela, at mga opisyal mula sa National Police Commission (NAPOLCOM) na sina NAPOLCOM Consultant Atty. Monina Cayayab at Vice Chairperson and Executive Officer Atty. Rafael Vicente Calinisan.

 

Sa kasalukuyang pag-uulat ay wala pang natatanggap na pahayag ang lokal na pamahalaan mula sa dalawang suspek.

BALIK ESKWELA 2025: Valenzuela City Begins Distribution of Free School Kits and Uniforms for Public School Students for SY 2025–2026

A total of 76,947 elementary students are set to receive school kits consisting of a backpack, notebooks, Math and English textbooks, a ruler, intermediate pad, pencil case with crayons, pencils, pens, eraser, and sharpener, as well as a tumbler and lunch box — all purchased through a budget allocation of PhP 30,222,573. Meanwhile, 55,520 junior and senior high school students will receive two sets of school uniforms each, with a total budget of PhP 56,698,000. The number of high school uniform beneficiaries is based on the estimated number of enrollees from the previous school year, as enrollment for the upcoming school year is still ongoing and not yet final.

 

The distribution is scheduled to take place over a span of four days across various public schools in the city, with teams deployed simultaneously to ensure orderly and efficient delivery of the supplies. This annual initiative, which began in 2008, has become a cornerstone of Valenzuela City’s Education 360 Degrees Investment Program - a holistic approach that supports learners, educators, and schools alike.

 

Mayor WES Gatchalian led the ceremonial distribution and expressed his commitment to supporting the Pamilyang Valenzuelano as they prepare for the new school year. “Alam ko kung gaano kagalak ang ating mga magulang, dahil alam naman natin na excited na excited pumasok ang ating mga anak kapag bago ang mga school supplies. Minarapat na rin po nating gawing libre ang mga uniporme, dahil alam naman po natin na mataas na ang presyo ng mga bilihin, kaya sana ay makatulong itong mga ito sa mga gastusin. Kami po ay nagiisip lamang ng mga proyektong makakatulong sa ating mga kabataan,” the mayor said.

 

With this initiative, the City Government of Valenzuela continues to strengthen its commitment to inclusive, accessible, and quality education for all — living up to its campaign: This is the life, Valenzuelife!

On the other hand, this year’s Math Camp will cater to 3,009 learners; consisting of 2,934 learners under the low proficient category, and 75 non-proficient learners.

 

The beneficiaries will undergo an extensive 10 half-day sessions in reading and arithmetic to further enhance their critical and problem-solving skills. To ensure that they are properly guided throughout their learning journey, the City Government of Valenzuela also conducted the Valenzuela Teaching Camp for teachers and teacher’s aides last May 19 and 29, 2025. Before the summer camp kicked off, 84 English teachers with 168 teacher’s aides and 152 Math teachers with 304 teacher’s aides underwent comprehensive training in order to properly and accurately mentor the learners. All their extensive practice in teaching was facilitated by the Synergeia Foundation.

 

The Valenzuela Summer Reading and Mathematics Camp 2025 will last from June 2 to June 13, 2025. Students who will complete the 10-day session are set to receive a gift certificate worth PHP 300, courtesy of the city government.

 

Empowering students through quality and equitable education is one of the local government’s goals and objectives in order to lead a liveable Valenzuela City.
