·
Activated, reactivated, and created many special
bodies, enjoining many constituents from all walks of life to lend a hand in
their area of expertise in partnership with the LGU.
Controversial Issues
·
Did not shy away from delicate issues such as the

disputes.

·
Benefited tens of thousands of Bayambangueños with
his community outreach program, Komprehensibong Serbisyo sa Bayan, an expanded
medical-dental mission that resulted in a roving one-stop shop of LGU services,

Poblacion.

Organized special groups which were either

tractors, combine harvesters, rice transplanters, and other modern farm machinery.

the 20% Development Fund from the IRA for its intended purpose: infrastructure
projects for all 77 barangays. This resulted in the completion of long-overdue
projects around the barangays, including new and/or renovated barangay halls,
barangay plaza stages, senior citizen’s halls, street pathways, day care
