Concerned offices and entities are confined in one roof to process documents of transacting public.
Every Monday, the Flag Raising Ceremony together with the Sangguniang Bayan members and the entire workforce of the Municipal Government will be done to show that we are one in serving the people. Words of encouragement are imparted to start the weeks work with inspiration to motivate human resources to perform their duties.
