Nueva Vizcaya Rep. Atty. Timothy Joseph E. Cayton released an accomplishment report of his work in 2025, saying he starts with listening to people and turns their concerns into bills and resolutions.
Cayton said he filed 26 bills and resolutions and co‑authored eight more. He served on 10 House committees, held two vice‑chair posts, and chaired the Technical Working Group for the Gobyernong may PUSO Act.
Among the measures he filed are House Bill No. 3713 to declare Naruron Falls in Barangay Oyao, Dupax del Norte, an eco‑tourism site; House Bill No. 2692 to give a Special Teachers’ Month bonus to all public school teachers in October; House Bill No. 2691 to start a universal social pension for all senior citizens; and House Bill No. 4502 to establish integrated watershed management and protection in Nueva Vizcaya.
He also filed House Resolution No. 418 asking the House Committee on Natural Resources to investigate Woggle Corporation’s exploration activities in Dupax del Norte and to consider revoking its DENR‑MGB permit.
In addition to policy measures, Cayton said he filed several resolutions recognizing outstanding Novo Vizcayanos who have excelled in their chosen fields.
He cited a resolution honoring Dr. Kharam B. Molbog, describing him as a two‑time topnotcher for topping both the Medical Technologist and Physician Licensure Examinations, among others who have brought distinction to the province.
Cayton described his mix of authored and co‑authored measures as reflecting both independent initiatives and collaborative efforts to address provincial and national concerns, from tourism and environmental stewardship to education and social protection. He said that conversations with residents and stakeholders inform the content and priorities of his proposals
Looking ahead to 2026, Cayton reaffirmed his commitment to hands‑on representation and continued community engagement.
“As we step into 2026, I remain committed to working hand in hand with you—listening, acting, and making sure our communities, our province, and our nation continue to thrive,” he said. He also thanked the Novo Vizcayanos for their support: “Thank you very much for your continued trust and support; you are the inspiration behind every step of our service.”
