Going beyond its mantra “I Love La Union,” the Provincial Government of La Union (PGLU) under the leadership of Gov. Francisco Emmanuel “Pacoy” R.

Governor Al Francis Bichara was on official business at Malacañang at that time as he was called to a meeting with the President.
Resolution No. 034-2018 was approved by the Sangguniang Panlalawigan headed by Vice-Governor Aureo Augusto Q. Nisce setting aside P 645,900.00 from the calamity fund to be given as financial assistance to the Province of Albay which was declared under state of calamity early in January.
