IN ONE with all the municipalities all over the nation, the Pozorrubians trekked to the streets and congregated in the plaza in observance of the 111th anniversary of the Declaration of Philippine Independence.
On June 12, 2009, a Saturday, Vice Mayor Reynaldo Reyes and former Mayor Art Chan (in the absence of Mayor Emma) raised the flag while the principals and teachers from the different schools of District 11 sang the National Anthem with Mrs. Remegia Soriano conducting. Present to swear their allegiance to the flag and all that it stands for were the Sangguniang Bayan Councilors and their staff, the LIGA ng mga Barangay, the PNP headed by PCI Domingo Soriano and the BFP headed by SFO1 Eric Niñalga, the Army Reserve Command, municipal department heads and employees, Barangay Health Workers, Day Care Workers and Nutrition Scholars, Pozorrubio Water District, KALIPI women, national agencies, DepEd family, Pozorrubio Federation of Senior Citizens, Pozorrubio Tennis Club and other NGOs, the Muslim community, the balikbayans and the residents of the town.
St. Philiomena’s Academy’s Alumni Batch 64 (a.k.a. SPA Batch 64) and Quesada eTechnologies have finally launched their Essay/Expository Writing Contest! The project was first bared during the Batch 64 first reunion last January, 2009 at Ginofreo and Engracia Quesada’s residence and at Paraiso Resort. And in their mid-year re-union last May 17, 2009, at the Quesadas’ residence, the project had kicked-off.
Equipped with collapsible sceen, high powered and high-resolution projector that overpowered the light of the day, and a laptop, Gin Quesada explained that the goals of the writing contest was patriotic and Pozorrubian-centric, which goal was also his guiding paradigm since he started creating websites for Pozorrubio in 1999. As the Contest result will benefit Pozorrubians, he thought of sharing with his former classmates the project’s development and the privilege to bring benefit to fellow Pozorrubians.
IN LINE with the national thrust of the Department of Agriculture (DA) through the Ginintuang Masaganang Ani (GMA) to boost agricultural production, its Regional Field Unit I (RFU I) in San Fernando, La Union and the local government of Pozorrubio represented by Mayor Emma Chan entered into an agreement providing one (1) unit of water pump (Kubota RK-70) to five (5) selected Barangays of the municipality, initially.
Mayor Emma Chan speaks before the Kalipunan ng Liping Pilipina (KALIPI). She praised the women’s impressive volume of attendance in the parade, their active participation in community and provincial activities such as the Clean-up Drive conducted last May 2 and the Pangasinan Women’s Month Celebration, their resourcefulness in raising the funds to finance their projects like the Search for Ms KALIPI of Pozorrubio.
Framed pictures of the town’s past chief executives are now mounted on the walls of 3rd floor of the Municipal Building. Photos of the following past mayors hang on the walls near the ceiling:
