MAYOR Oscar Moreno led the groundbreaking ceremony on Tuesday, October 30, for the P20-million facility that will house neglected elderly in Cagayan de Oro.

"Government is precisely meant to serve especially those who need the government the most," Moreno said as he called the project a "significant milestone" in the city.

The facility will be called the Oro Golden Home for the Elderly. It will rise within the compound of Mother Teresa Oro Care Center in Upper Puerto.

The P20-million project will temporarily shelter the abandoned and neglected elderly in society while undergoing rehabilitation and for possible family reintegration.

Currently, the city houses neglected elderly along with the mentally-challenged individuals at the Residential Care and Differently-Abled Center of the JR Borja General Hospital.

The facility will have its own clinic, chapel, and a mini-park. It can house about 40 elderly, men or women.

The lot where the facility will be built is part of the 10 hectares donated by the Rosales family to the City Government in the 1990s during the administration of the late mayor Pablo Magtajas.
