“Professionalism” was the theme for the traditional Monday Flag-Raising Ceremony on August 12, 2024. It was expounded by Sangguniang Bayan Member Hon. Danilo P. Abuan, Committee Chairman on Civil Service, Labor & Employment and Human Resource Development, and Disaster Preparedness and Management and Relief Services.

After the Preliminaries, the Sangguniang Bayan Office (SBO) presented their audio-visual Accomplishment Report. “Professionalism is not about the work you do, it is about how well you do the work,” was the quote indicated at the end of their presentation to emphasize the value for the week.

Afterwhich, Mayor de Guzman delivered his message highlighting our Seasonal Workers Program with the municipality’s Sister City Taebaek in South Korea. He said that Bauang’s Seasonal Workers were well appreciated by their employers at the said city. So far, we have sent 76 seasonal workers this year and the demand will double by next year due to the diligence showed by our seasonal farmers. They are being paid a hefty sum of Php80,000.00 to Php130,000.00 per month.
