Cebu Province has set aside P25 million for its 456^th Founding Anniversary in August 2025, but Governor Pamela Baricuatro intends to spend more of the budget on a "Health Caravan" as the center of the commemoration. 

The caravan seeks to offer a medical mission that does not end in consultation services, but includes major surgical services or medical operations in meaningful collaboration with hospitals, organizations, and communities in the medical sector. 

Capitol eyes major surgical services for about 500 patients in each venue, as the medical mission would move around different areas in the province. 

However, the patient must go through pre-screening before the major surgical procedure to ensure patient wellbeing, said Dr. Elisse Nicole Catalan, Capitol pro bono consultant on health services, and daughter of the governor. 

The Cebu Provincial Government emphasized that the medical mission would fulfill initially the Baricuatro administration's campaign promise on prioritizing health and wellness of constituents. 

Further, Capitol has announced the approval of anniversary bonus for Capitol employees worth P30,000 for workers on regular status, and P20,000 for job order (JO) status.
