The Provincial Government of La Union (PGLU) led by Governor Raphaelle Veronica โ€œRafyโ€ Ortega-David virtually attended the World Smart Sustainable Cities Organization (WeGO) Executive Committee (EXCOM) Meeting 2022 on November 1, 2022.

Hosted by Kampala Capital City Authority, this yearโ€™s WeGO EXCOM was held under the theme, โ€œResilience in the Face of Adversity: Smart Cities as Engines for Social Economic Transformation,โ€ which highlights opportunities and insights on the measures to develop agile cities as well as the key roles of citizens as contributors in the creation of a โ€œsmart city.โ€

La Union being a WeGO member, Gov. Rafy was given a privilege to deliver a Congratulatory Remark alongside Makati Mayor Mar-len Abigail S. Binay, and Wellington, New Zealand Mayor Tory Whanau. Gov. Rafy mentioned how the previous provincial administration led by immediate past Gov. Francisco Emmanuel โ€œPacoyโ€ R. Ortega III maximized the advantages of being a WeGO member and how La Union felt the organizationโ€™s role in fostering the province overcome and recover in the challenges brought by the pandemic. She likewise mentioned that La Union shall continue to maximize its technological potentials with a hope of developing innovative e-services that would improve the quality of life of the people.

โ€œI am hoping that this will rekindle our commitments to innovate in the delivery of public services leveraging digital technology and connectivity to improve the quality of life of our people,โ€ Gov. Rafy said.

La Unionโ€™s membership to WeGo is one of the measures towards the attainment of the vision for La Union to become the Heart of Agri-tourism in Northern Luzon by 2025, which promotes #LaUnionPROBINSYAnihan as it aims to uplift the lives of the kaprobinsiahan.
