Consolacion's Election Trajectory Shift: Team Uswag Eyes Cityhood and Development

A game-changer in Consolacion, Cebu's political scene is brewing, with Team Uswag spearheading a city conversion push for the upcoming May elections. Waving the flag of reform and development, they aim to shake up the entrenched political landscape of the town.

Headed by barangay councilor Mike Mercado from Pulpogan, Team Uswag is trumpeting their arrival as a dynamic force, dedicated to tackling nagging issues like traffic, healthcare, and education. In an April 25, 2025 press conference, they showcased their gumption to bring about needed change.

With a focus on resolving Consolacion's notorious traffic jams, Mercado and co. envision road widening projects, installation of traffic surveillance, and reinforced traffic law enforcement as potential remedies, should they secure the mayoral seat.

Recognizing Consolacion's healthcare predicament, the team is pushing for the establishment of a public hospital within the town to enhance local accessibility, relieving residents from lengthy trips to Mandaue City for treatment. On the educational front, Team Uswag advocates for broadening the scholarship program, updating school facilities, and enhancing educational resources for an expanding student populace.

Evidently, in Pulpogan, Mercado has already made a difference, offering free printing services to students for over a year to support their academic needs. Furthermore, the team plans to construct modern sports facilities for the youth, develop a public plaza, and expand services for senior citizens.

Challenging the incumbent Mayor Teresa "Nene" Alegado, Blessilda "Bingol" Villo, Raul Isoto, and other contenders, the Partido Federal ng Pilipinas-backed Team Uswag is betting big on cityhood as a strategic tool for systemic change in Consolacion.

Although specific policies proposed by Team Uswag are yet to be framed, the cityhood push hints at potential infrastructure improvements, augmented funding for public services, and increased resources for education and healthcare. Dually, their bid to transform Consolacion into a city signifies their dedication to instigating sweeping reforms for a prosperous future. 🔗[1] Cityhood and Improved Governance 🔗[2] Public Service Expansion in Cities 🔗[3] Investment in Education through Cityhood
