Especially retired Cebuanos from the United States would be attracted to a municipality like Consolacion for their final golden years back home, enjoying the peaceful rural hills surrounding them and sharing the fruits of a long and often hard life overseas with deserving folks at home.
The Mayor supports the speeding up of the title-issuing process, enabling capital and bank-lending to flow into the rural barangays.
Above all, the Mayor is a great believer in the need for cleanliness in his Municipality and has organized on-going seminars to educate the people on proper garbage disposal.
