Regional Development Council–Cordillera Administrative Region (RDC-CAR) Chairperson and Apayao Governor Elias C. Bulut, Jr., together with Vice Governor Kyle Mariah Chelsea S. Bulut-Cunan, participated in the 1st Public Administration and Indigenous Governance Exchange on Regional Autonomy (P.A.I.G.E.) held on June 11, 2026, at Kalinga State University (KSU), Bulanao, Tabuk City, Kalinga.

In his keynote address, with the theme, “The Roadmap to 2029: Consolidating Political Will for a Unified Autonomy Vote,” Governor Bulut underscored the constitutional foundations of Cordillera autonomy and reflected on the outcomes of the 1990 and 1998 autonomy plebiscites. He emphasized that while previous efforts did not secure the required regional mandate, the present circumstances demonstrate stronger institutions, broader public awareness, and more active participation from various sectors.

Governor Bulut stressed that the discourse on autonomy has evolved from questioning its desirability to determining the most effective mechanisms for its implementation. He further highlighted the crucial role of State Universities and Colleges (SUCs) in generating evidence-based studies, policy recommendations, and development strategies necessary to support regional self-governance. He likewise encouraged academic institutions to identify economic opportunities within their respective provinces and contribute to the formulation of a comprehensive regional development blueprint for an autonomous Cordillera.

Meanwhile, Vice Governor Bulut-Cunan presented her master’s thesis entitled, “Exploring the Lived Experiences and Developmental Roles of Citizen Armed Forces Geographical Unit (CAFGU) Active Auxiliaries (CAA): Foundation for Peace Education in Apayao.” She was among the selected delegates representing Apayao State College–Luna Campus, where she is currently taking her Master’s Degree in Public Administration.

The conference was organized by Kalinga State University through the initiative of Dr. Juan Moshe M. Duyan, Conference Coordinator, and featured keynote speakers and academic experts from Taiwan and Indonesia who shared international perspectives on governance, public administration, indigenous systems, and regional development.

The 11th Sangguniang Panlalawigan of Apayao held its 42nd Regular Mobile Session on June 9, 2026, at the Sangguniang Bayan Session Hall in Pudtol, Apayao, presided over by Vice Governor Kyle Mariah Chelsea S. Bulut-Cunan. The activity aimed to bring governance closer to the people by allowing local officials and constituents to observe provincial legislative proceedings while fostering stronger collaboration between the provincial and municipal governments.

During the Visitor’s Hour, members of the Sangguniang Bayan of Pudtol, led by Vice Mayor Teresita A. Bulsao, together with municipal department heads, delivered their respective manifestations formally welcoming the august body. They expressed their appreciation for the selection of Pudtol as the venue of the session, emphasizing that the activity served as a valuable learning experience and provided local officials the opportunity to observe the procedures, practices, and conduct of provincial legislative sessions.

Municipal Mayor Edmar D. Pascua likewise conveyed his gratitude to the members of the Sangguniang Panlalawigan and commended the conduct of the mobile session as a tangible demonstration of the Provincial Government’s commitment to bringing government services closer to communities. He highlighted three significant reasons for his appreciation: first, the choice of Pudtol as the host municipality; second, the opportunity afforded to local officials and residents to observe how provincial legislative proceedings are conducted; and third, the chance for provincial legislators to gain a deeper appreciation of the municipality’s existing needs, challenges, and development priorities.

In her message, Vice Governor Bulut-Cunan thanked the Municipal Government of Pudtol for its warm reception and support in hosting the activity. She underscored that the role of legislators extends beyond the passage of ordinances and resolutions, emphasizing that public service requires government leaders to engage directly with communities and deliver services beyond legislation. She further noted that mobile sessions serve as a platform for strengthening partnerships with local government units and ensuring that governance remains inclusive, participatory, and responsive to the needs of the people.

During the Privilege Hour, Majority Floor Leader Hon. Hector Reuel D. Pascua delivered a privilege speech raising matters of concern regarding grants and donations involving the Municipal Government of Sta. Marcela. He emphasized the need to observe the legal parameters governing review powers and fiscal autonomy of local government units, citing provisions of the Local Government Code which authorize Local Chief Executives to enter into Memoranda of Agreement concerning grants and donations, subject to applicable laws, rules, and regulations.

Hon. Pascua likewise raised concerns on the matter of quorum, noting that the existing Internal Rules and Procedures of the Sangguniang Panlalawigan do not expressly provide sufficient guidance on certain aspects relating to quorum requirements. Consequently, he proposed the referral of the matter to the appropriate committee for further study and consideration of possible amendments to strengthen procedural clarity and legislative efficiency.

The session proceeded with the deliberation of committee reports, communications and interpretations, as well as the conduct of second and third readings of proposed legislative measures. The august body also acted upon and approved several urgent matters requiring immediate legislative attention in accordance with its mandate.

Among the significant matters raised during the proceedings was the worsening impact of drought conditions across the province. During the Visitor’s Hour, PCL President and Ex-Officio Member Hon. Mcleen B. Julian called the attention of the legislative body to the situation, emphasizing the necessity of considering a province-wide declaration of a State of Calamity to enable timely government response and assistance to affected sectors, particularly farmers and rural communities.

Recognizing the urgency of the matter, Vice Governor Bulut-Cunan referred the issue to the Committee on Agriculture, chaired by Hon. Rosario B. Labueng, Jr., for comprehensive assessment and appropriate recommendation.
