'The more we listen, the more we save lives and properties'- Pasil Mayor Malannag

Pasil, Kalinga - Municipal Mayor Alfredo Malannag Jr. is encouraging punong barangays and officials to listen attentively and learn when attending conferences and seminars.

“Isu ti ibagbagak kadagituy barangay captains. Sabali ladta nu ag-attend ka ken agdengngeg ka nu mapan ka ti seminar, haan nga diay mapan ka nga agpaspasyar,” Malannag said.

During the Kalinga provincial disaster resilience caravan held in Pasil on July 22, Malannag reiterated that being attentive and participative will capacitate a person to be more efficient in performing their task during disasters to save lives and properties.

The mayor cited the seminars and conferences conducted by the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) before the onslaught of Typhoon Lawin in 2016 as an example.

“I am very thankful that I attended that conference because we were able to implement what they taught us,” Malannag remarked.

He likewise extended his gratitude to the different provincial and local agencies such as the Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (PDRRMC), DILG, and Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) for gracing the caravan.

Speaking on behalf of the yPasil, Malannag said “we love to learn and we always want to learn and be heard for us to develop.”

“As we have been telling, yPasil are dreamers especially the leaders of Pasil. We want to dream more for Pasil. We cannot have this dream that we have unless we are guided from the top,” the mayor added.

Malannag also thanked the assessments and recommendations provided by the PDRRMC chaired by Governor Ferdinand B. Tubban, agreeing that “readiness is important.”

“Thank you for your assessments ta nu awan ti assessment yu, haan kami nga ag-improve sunga han kayo a mabain nga mangibaga ti kina-agpaysuwan na ken nu anya ti kurang na,” expressed Malannag.

The mayor then advised the officials who graced the event to execute the LGU’s suggestions and prioritize programs for disaster preparedness.
