Today, we honor the life and legacy of Senator Benigno “Ninoy” Aquino Jr., whose courage and sacrifice ignited a nation's journey toward democracy and freedom.

As we commemorate Ninoy Aquino Day, may his unwavering commitment to truth, justice, and public service inspire us to become responsible citizens and catalysts for positive change.

“Ang tunay na sukatan ng kadakilaan ay ang kahandaang magsakripisyo para sa bayan.”

Padayon ang Sangguniang Bayan sang Concepcion sa pagsuporta sa mga tikang nga nagaprotektar sa panglawas, kaluwasan, kag kaayuhan sang aton mga kasimanwa, ilabi na sa paglikaw sa rabies kag animal bites.

Sa 32nd Regular Session sang Agosto 10, 2026, ginpresentar ang Committee Report No. 68 sang Committee on Agriculture, Fisheries and Aquatic Resources bahin sa Barangay Ordinance No. 02, Series of 2026 sang Barangay Agnaga, nga nagatuyo sa pag-regulate kag pag-require sa mga pet owners nga maghatag sang bulig ukon assistance sa mga biktima sang rabies kag/o animal bites.

Ang amo nga tikang nagapabaskog sang responsible pet ownership kag nagahatag sang mas klaro nga responsibilidad sa mga tag-iya sang sapat, labi na kon ang ila mga pets makahimo sang injury ukon posible nga exposure sa rabies.

Importante gid nga ang aton mga kasimanwa may yara sang kaalam kag responsibilidad sa pag-atipan sang ila mga pets. Ang paglikaw sa rabies indi lamang responsibilidad sang isa ka tawo—responsibilidad ini naton tanan bilang isa ka komunidad.

Ginkilala man sang Committee nga ang implementasyon sang ordinansa kinahanglan mangin fair, reasonable kag legal, kag dapat ginahimo sa koordinasyon sa Municipal Health kag Veterinary Authorities, kag suno sa mga nagapadayon nga national laws pareho sang Anti-Rabies Act of 2007 (RA 9482) kag Local Government Code of 1991 (RA 7160).

💙 Kon responsable kita sa aton mga sapat, mas luwas ang aton pamilya kag komunidad.

Para sa mas luwas, mas himsog, kag mas responsable nga Concepcion!

Isa naman ka mabinungahon nga adlaw sang pagserbisyo sa katawhan sa aton 31st Regular Session sang Sangguniang Bayan sang Concepcion.

Isa sa mga importante nga tikang nga ginpatuhuyan naton sang atensyon amo ang proposed Municipal Catch Documentation and Traceability System (MCDTS)—isa ka ordinansa nga nagatinguha mapabakod ang pagmonitor kag pagdokumentar sang aton municipal fisheries. Ini nga tikang nagasuporta sa legal, responsable kag mas masaligan nga pangisdaan, agud maprotektahan ang pangabuhi sang aton mga mangingisda kag mapabakod pa gid ang industriya sang pangisdaan sa Concepcion.

Gintalakay man ang iban pa nga mga ordinansa kag resolusyon nga nagapatuhoy sa:
🐾 Rabies prevention kag responsableng pag-atipan sang ido;
👧🧒 Pagpauswag sang Child-Friendly Barangays;
🌿 Suporta sa seaweed development projects; kag
🇵🇭 Pagbulig sa aton mga retired veterans pinaagi sa financial assistance programs.

Padayon kita sa paghimo sang mga polisiya nga indi lang para sa subong, kundi para man sa mas maayo nga palaabuton sang aton banwa. Ang serbisyo nga may pagpamati, pagbinuligay, kag pagpalangga sa Concepcion ang aton padayon nga handum.

Padayon ang trabaho. Padayon ang serbisyo. Para sa mas mabaskog nga Concepcion.

🏃‍♀️ Active Kids, Active Future! 👧👦

It was a pleasure to join the Women’s Run PH Active Kids Community Day held at Brgy. Nipa Elementary School, a meaningful initiative led by Women’s Run PH CEO, Ms. Nicole Wuthrich Dela Cruz. This inspiring program encourages children to embrace an active lifestyle while promoting the importance of proper nutrition, healthy habits, and overall well-being.

It was truly heartwarming to see the enthusiasm and energy of the students of Brgy. Nipa Elementary School, together with the unwavering support of their teachers, whose dedication continues to shape the minds and future of our young learners. Programs like these create lasting opportunities for children to learn, grow, and develop healthy lifestyles.

My sincere appreciation to Women’s Run PH, led by Ms. Nicole Wuthrich Dela Cruz; to the teachers and students of Brgy. Nipa Elementary School; to Brgy. Captain Leobert Villaruz for his support and commitment to the community; and to all the organizers, volunteers, parents, and partners who made this meaningful activity a success.

Together, let us continue investing in our children—because a healthier, more active generation is the foundation of a stronger Concepcion.
