Gov. Pacoy calls for peace and unity during the Oath-taking Ceremonies of the newly-elected barangay officials of the Second District of La Union on June 12, 2018 at the Eriguel Covered Court, Agoo, La Union.
The re-elected and newly elected Barangay and Sanggunian Kabataan (SK) officials of the 249 barangays in the second district of La Union took their oath to public service on June 12, 2018 at the Covered Court of Agoo, La Union during the Araw Ng Kalayaan. Their pledge was administered by Second District Representative Sandra Y. Eriguel.
Said event was graced by Gov. Francisco Emmanuel “Pacoy” R. Ortega III along with ABONO Partylist Rep. Vini Nola A. Ortega and Local Chief Executives of the municipalities in the 2nd District of La Union.
In his speech Gov. Pacoy congratulated the Barangay and SK officials inducted. He put emphasis on Barangay being the basic social structure and closest interaction point of constituents to the government. He reminded the officials that they were chosen by the people and they have responsibilities and obligations along with their positions.
“We are La Union! From the Provincial Government down to the municipalities and barangays, we have worked hard together to preserve peace, order and safety of our Province,” he said.
Gov. Pacoy described the 2nd District now as a shining example of what La Union is fated to be, a land rooted in concord and amity, and bound in unity.
“Our strategy aims to position La Union as the Heart of Agri-tourism in Northern Luzon by 2025 to bring about expansion and increase in livelihood and business activities, employment generation, and local income destruction,” he added as he would like to make the newly elected officials aware of his vision in the Province of La Union.
He also informed them of the various assistance given to barangays by the Provincial Government of La Union such as Barangay Service Support Programs, infrastructure support, burial and medical assistance to indigents, agricultural implements and equipment, negotiations for building sites and land acquisition and site development for Agri-tourism among others.
At the end of the ceremony, Gov. Pacoy encouraged the newly-elected officials to seek for the blessings and graces of the Almighty Father in everything they do.
Barangay is the smallest LGU and its recent elections were held on May 14, 2018. Elections for the reformed SK were also held at the same time.
