“Mas maganda ang kinabukasan pag maganda ang asal.” (The future is better with good conduct.) This is the statement of Hon. Veronica T. Bernardo, Sangguniang Bayan Member (SBM), for the Values Formation, “Commitment to Public Interest,” of the Flag-Raising Ceremony last August 5, 2024.

The Municipal Planning and Development Coordinator’s (MPDC) Office was the host for the event. After the preliminaries, they presented their accomplishment report. Ms. Doris Marie Munar-Bambao, Rural Sanitary Inspector (RSI), from the Municipal Health Office, discussed Leptospirosis. According to her report, three (3) deaths were reported from the said bacterial disease in 2023. The bacteria can enter not only open wounds but also the eyes and other orifices. We are reminded to be extra careful during the rainy season.

Finally, Hon. Henry A. Bacurnay, Jr., Municipal Vice Mayor, delivered his closing speech. In his statement, he said that, “We always consider the law of God before the law of man. Never tayong makasarili. (We shouldn’t be selfish.) Our lives should be meant for others.”
