BAGUIO CITY – “Now in my third and final chapter, we move forward with great purpose and I vow to you, kung ano ang ipinakita namin noon, yon pa rin ang ipapakita namin ngayon. Good Governance, consistency is the key word,” Mayor Benjamin Magalong said strongly in his inaugural speech, after his oathtaking at the Baguio Convention and Cultural Center, Baguio City, on June 30.

Aurora Hill South Central Barangay Chairman Levy Lloyd Orcales administered the oath of office to Magalong. Orcales ran as city councilor under the Good Governance Alliance, but was defeated.

According to Magalong, in the new chapter of his administration, he will continue the promise of a clean, honest and open government that knows how to work in its jurisdiction.

He will ensure that every decision is for the benefit of the many, not just the few and will continue to fight for a government that cares and is truly sensible.

“We will not let you down, we will not give up on the principle of good governance, what we popularly call Good Governance.”

He said he will continue his vision of a livable, inclusive and creative city by 2043. “This will be passed my term, but together we established solid foundation. We will continue to build our seven core agenda namely environment, land use and energy, climate and disaster resilience, urban regeneration, youth empowerment, sustainable economic and development, smart city management and most importantly Good Governance.”

“We will continue to work for a sustainable and resilient Baguio City and we will continue to promote good governance without corruption where leaders do not lead with greed but with honor,” Magalong said.

Aside from Magalong, comebacking Congressman Mauricio Domogan, Vice Mayor Faustino Olowan and City Councilors Edison Bilog, Joel Alangsab, Jose Molintas, LeandroYangot, Jr., Vladimir Cayabas, Peter Fianza, Van Dicang, Fred Bagbagen, Paolo Salvosa, Lourdes Tabanda, Yuri Weygan and Elmer Datuin were also sworn in.
