• Oscar (Puente Alto): The city is much more safer now than it used to be, and now there are more green areas, subway, comerce and better housing options.
• Miguel T C (Puente Alto): In my opinion, I think Don Jose Manuel Ossandon is simply the best mayor of Santiago and Chile, as they represented a very important role in the Puente Alto starting with the development of social welfare (including all relevant social policies represented their own hands and work), easing health hospitals (Hospital Sotero del Rio) and medical centers prosecutors one of the most important to citizens. Also with regard to safety by implementing a Commissioner in a neuralgic point where before there was a lot of crime.
• Christobal (Puente Alto): The mayor has increased the construction of social housing.
• Gmosalgado (Puente Alto): The Mayor has made grate advances in public services and also transforming Puente Alto a better place to visit, work and choose as your living place. Although there is still a lot o work to do Ossandón has made the best considering Puente Alto has limited funds to spend.
• Cecilia C (Puente Alto): His greater action went to be against the day after pill. I am Catholic and we defend fundamental values as it is the right to the life. It has a numerous family like I come already from a Catholic family formed by eight alive brothers and two deceaseds, my parents accepted all the children who God quizo to even give to them at the cost of the life of my mother which in his I complete pregnancy had serious risk of dying.
• Rosita T B (Puente Alto): I believe that their management is very professional and humane. Examples?? modernization and beautification of the city, ifrastructure modern road, quickly and efficiently, citizen protection programs,approach of government benefits to the poorest sectors of the city,zero tolerance for crime, etcetera, would take too long to give in this space. And most important ..... His promises are true, no lie, not a populist moment.

• Claudia VLL (Chile): He´s a family man that respects life and family overall circumnstances and that is reflected in his several programmes of family protection. He has improved the development of the city in different areas: economical, educational, security, job access -to mention some of them-. Since the beggining of his charge, he has been commited to improve primary health care and he´s done that succesfully: he has bettered health facilities, increased number of employees and supported the improvement in both technical and clinical quality. He has been brave in rejecting the distribution of the morning after pill, according to his values that are very clear for everyone. This does not mean that there are no preventive interventions to avoid unwanted pregnancy. Wherever he is, he has always time to listen others problems and needs, and looks for help them in any possible way.
Even I don´t share his political view, he´s the best Mayor the city has ever had. This is shared by thousands of persons that support him through all the years.
