Dr. Cajita passed away July 28, 2021 in Cagayan de Oro City, her hometown where she was assigned after her stint in Zamboanga.
Dr. Cajita, fondly called "Mam Abelle", was instrumental in the implementation of various projects through the USAID-Strengthening Urban Resilience for Growth with Equity (SURGE), a five-year project which started in 2016, aimed to foster economic development of cities outside Metro Manila, Cebu and Davao.
Through her guidance, the USAID-SURGE provided technical expertise in urban planning and development for the formulation of the City's Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP), Zoning Ordinance (ZO), and Comprehensive Development Plan (CDP) and the Executive-Legislative Agenda (ELA) of Zamboanga.
It was also through the USAID-SURGE that Zamboanga City accomplished the Geoportal Project and achieved DILG's 2017 Seal of Good Local Governance.
The long list of innovations in various fields that USAID-SURGE introduced is proof of Dr. Cajita's tireless efforts to help Zamboanga, and the City Government is forever grateful.
Mam Abelle, muchisimas gracias por tu asistencia y ayuda na desarollo del Ciudad de Zamboanga! Paz eterno na mano de Dios y La Virgen Maria y San Jose!
