MANGALDAN, Pangasinan – The lady mayor here travelled to Las Vegas, Nevada in the USA to attend the 6^th Mangaldan International Organization, Convention and Grand Reunion (MIO-6) that commenced on October 19 and ends on Oc 22. Mangaldanians from various parts of the globe would be joining this huge convergence.

Mayor Bona Fe D. Parayno and some officials of this first class town will be meeting too in Southern and Northern California with other former residents of the town who are already citizens of the U.S for benchmarking.

It is the intention of Executive Chairman Silverio Moulic, who hailed in the Poblacion here but a resident now of Kansas, to reinvigorate the cooperation and collaboration of Mangaldanians overseas.

Aside from the MIO-6 meeting and benchmarking, Mayor Parayno’s delegation would be attending fellowship, gala night and church masses with expatriates there.

The mayor wanted to strengthen the public –private –partnership and expansion of the organizations of Mangaldanians abroad so they can help her ideal programs to uplift the plight of her poor constituents here.

Because of this official trip that started in October 16 and ends on October 29, Vice Mayor Mark Stephen DV. Mejia and No.1 Councilor Aldrin O. Soriano are the present acting Mayor and Vice Mayor, respectively. (With reports from Mangaldan PIO).
