STATE OF THE MUNICIPALITY ADDRESS
In the spirit of transparency and accountability as mandated by the Local Government Code, I come to you again to render my report of accomplishments for part of the year 2009 and the whole year of 2010. This period had been exciting days for us mainly because the foreign funded projects, together with nationally funded projects that we proposed, were finally given the light of day and we were implementing them as a result, as well as our own projects, programs and activities funded from our municipal treasury. But before I start, please bear in mind that we are basically an agricultural community without big business establishments, and that we have established a policy of no mining activities in the mountains of the Lasicam area with respect to the mineral deposits in this area because mining would damage our Daywan river that supplies water to our irrigation system.
