Present to witness the inauguration program were the family members of the officials, Provincial Government of La Union (PGLU) Department and Unit Heads, Chief of Hospitals, employees, and kaprobinsiaan joined the event through Facebook Live.

This yearโ€™s inauguration ceremony is dubbed as #SerbisioKenPanagtakem which literally translates to Service and Taking of Responsibility. As duty-bearers and public servant-leaders, this reflects their intentions to wholeheartedly accept the huge responsibility in their hands of thrusting the province and building it into a home their kaprobinsiaan had hoped for.

With this new chapter in governance, the PGLU and all kaprobinsiaan remain united for the continued realization of a #StrongerLaUnion, a province worth living in.
