TAGOLOAN, Misamis oriental (PIA) – Lawmaker Yevgeny Vicente B. Emano, Misamis Oriental 2nd District Representative, presented his 2023-2024 accomplishment report at his hometown in Tagoloan on January 24, 2025.
Tagged as “CoRe Tres,” or 3rd Congressional Report, the event was open to the public, allowing constituents to learn about and engage with the accomplishments and initiatives of their representative.
“As a Congressman, my duties include introducing legislation, serving on key committees–serving one or more house committees–making and voting on bills, co-sponsoring important legislation, representing our constituents, and conducting oversight investigations,” Emano explained, providing a concise overview of what congressmen do.
He also outlined that the Legislative, Executive, and Judiciary are equal.
Emano detailed his legislative successes upon returning to Congress in 2022, emphasizing his role in passing key bills after serving as Governor for nine years.
He reported that over P11 billion in infrastructure projects secured from the national budget for 2023–2024 are now being implemented and completed to enhance the quality of life of residents.
The lawmaker’s social services programs have significantly impacted the lives of 71,947 individuals, with a total funding of P385,274,819.97 dedicated to various forms of assistance. A substantial portion, P160,884,316.85, was allocated to the Medical Assistance for Indigent Patients (MAIP) program, benefiting 8,730 individuals.
Similarly, P11,882,768.64 in cash assistance reached 2,455 beneficiaries, while P18,499,376.48 provided medical aid to 2,656 individuals.

The report underscored the ongoing Misamis Oriental West Diversion Road (MOWDR) project, a 109-kilometer network connecting Manticao, Cabalantian, Mahayahay, Limonda, Naawan, and Opol. With a total project cost of P6.236 billion, 75.98 kilometers (69%) have been completed at P3.37 billion fund, while 33.63 kilometers (31%) remain unfinished, requiring P2.86 billion. For 2025, P850 million was allocated, leaving a balance of over P2 billion to complete the project fully.

In a message, Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. told the congressman to continue the kind of service he delivered for several years.
“I am happy to join you in celebrating your public service in various roles, both in local and national government,“ the President said.
Misamis Oriental Governor Peter M. Unabia also extended his message to Emano.
“Salamat sa imong wala’y kinutuban nga dedikasyon, sa pagserbisyo sa publiko. In your 26 years, init pa gihapon kaayo,” the governor said.
(Thank you so much for your dedication and public service, which continues even after 26 years.)
High-ranking government officials, representatives from various government agencies, and members of civil society organizations participated in the CoRe Tres, underscoring the event’s significance and broad support.
