By Mortz C. Ortigoza

STA. BARBARA, Pangasinan – Senator Imee Marcos acquiesced to intercede for the new firetruck and police patrol car from the mayor of this thriving first class town when the lawmaker visited here recently.

BURGEOUNING first class town Mayor Carlito S. Zaplan (center) joins Executive Assistant-V Rodolfo V. Barbiran Jr. (extreme left) and Executive Assistant- IV Sherwin N. Pioquinto heading to Cebu City to attend the League of the Municipalities of the Philippines (LMP).  The LMP invited the Luzon Island Cluster Conference (LICC) on August 24-26, 2023 at the Radisson Blu Hotel in Cebu City where 500 municipal mayors from Luzon have been anticipated to attend. The conference aims to forge collaboration among all Luzon local government units for greater opportunities that may lead to effective inter-governmental relations and the development of various programs, projects, and general services beneficial to their constituents.


Mayor Carlito S. Zaplan said the vehicles will be used to maintain the peace and order of this 29 villages municipality with more or less 100, 000 population.

He said the request of the firetruck and the patrol car had been first signified by his office in 1998. Marcos told the mayor to submit the twin-request through a formal letter addressed to her office in the Senate so she would act on them.

The presidential sister was here when she gave to Zaplan the financial aid from the national government after Super Typhoon Egay and Typhoon Frank  hammered the villages of this town with floods brought by their moonson rains.

Many towns like Calasiao and Binmaley in Pangasinan were recipients too of the P3,000 each per family of the 1,000 families per municipality of the Assistance to Individuals in Crisis Situation (AICS) of the Department of Social Welfare & Development (DSWD) distributed by Senator Marcos.
