The City of
Victorias launched a public consultation and information dissemination program
known as the “Pulong-pulong sa Barangay
2013” at the covered court of Brgy. IX last Feb. 2.
The ongoing program held
every Saturday aims to bring the government to the people.
Acting Mayor Francis
Frederick Palanca expressed how proud he was of the city officials and
department heads with their efforts in reaching out to the communities and
barangays of the city.
The city and barangay
officials, department heads and employees took part on the consultation and shed
light to the different concerns raised by the residents.
Cong. Alfredo Abelardo
Benitez was happy that the program seeks to give solutions to the problems in
the different barangays and said that the activity might be the first but will definitely
not be the last.
The “Civil Registry on the
Go”, a proactive civil registration program under the Local Civil Registrar’s
Office (LCR) was simultaneously done along with the consultation program.
The mobile registration
offered forum on civil registration laws and rules spearheaded by Local Civil
Registrar Julie Ann Roa and free wedding for couples who have cohabited for at
least five years without legal impediment.
Seven lucky couples in
Brgy. IX qualified for the free wedding and were married by Acting Mayor
Francis Frederick Palanca.
“May the sanctity of your
marriage strengthen your relationship”, said Brgy. Capt. Juvy Pepello.
Brgy. Capt. Pepello was
glad that their barangay was the first beneficiary of the awareness and public
service program.
The processing of requests
for issuance of certified copy of birth, marriage and death certificates printed
on Security Paper (SECPA) and Certificate of No Marriage Record (CENOMAR) were also
catered by the LCR.
A turn over of educational
assistance for a semester worth P2, 500 to 40 Victoriahanon scholars by Acting
Mayor Palanca was also made during the pulong-pulong.
