Overview
- City officials sent two proposals to the local Congress: a reform to Article 9 to end the sexual division of labor and a law establishing the Public Care System’s principles and governance.
- The plan builds a citywide network that includes 300 childcare centers, 200 day centers for older adults, 200 rehabilitation sites, 16 long-stay homes, 200 community kitchens, 200 public laundries, Siemprevivas support houses, and 200 spaces for responsible masculinities.
- An Early Education System will add 300 centers—200 run by the government and 100 by care cooperatives—to serve about 66,000 children from roughly six weeks to six years old.
- The program projects economic support for 45,000 full-time caregivers and targets roughly 10 million annual services for older adults and 5 million for people with disabilities.
- Reported breakdowns of the 12 billion pesos differ across outlets as funding is reviewed, while federal authorities announced a 2026 national care budget near 466 billion pesos and launched the SIDECU platform to map care services.
