𝗘𝗟𝗗𝗘𝗥𝗟𝗬 𝗙𝗜𝗟𝗜𝗣𝗜𝗡𝗢 𝗪𝗘𝗘𝗞 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲

I gladly joined fellow senior citizens in celebrating Elderly Filipino Week 2026 on October 5 at the Ferdinand E. Marcos Cultural and Sports Center, with the theme, “Nakatatandang Filipino: May Halaga at Karapatan, May Boses at Ambag sa Bayan.”

In my message, I emphasized that our senior citizens are not simply recipients of care, but pillars of wisdom, dignity, and continuing contribution to our community. I also highlighted the importance of ensuring that our senior citizens receive support and services not just during celebrations, but throughout the year.

The celebration brought together our senior citizens from the different zones of Badoc through the Walk for Life, Flag Raising Ceremony, free medical and dental check-ups, socialization activities, talent presentations, and the coronation of our Elderly Golden King and Queen.

I extend my appreciation to Ma’am Lavina P. Laforga, Head of the Office of the Senior Citizens Affairs, together with the officers and members of FSCAP Inc. Badoc Chapter, led by Mr. Virgilio P. Rodriguez, for organizing this meaningful celebration for our senior citizens.

Congratulations to our newly crowned Elderly Golden King, Mr. Edgar Rioveros, and Elderly Golden Queen, Ms. Veronica Magbaleta, together with their Royal Court. Congratulations as well to all our senior citizens who participated and made this celebration meaningful and memorable.

We also honored our four centenarians: Leonora Torralba, 101, of Brgy. Paltit; Justina Luna, 101, of Brgy. Bato; Isabel Gamatero, 100, of Brgy. Nagrebcan; and Adriana Talub, 100, of Brgy. Pagsanahan Norte.

Agyaman kami kadakayo iti amin a naitulongyo iti panagdur-as ti ili tayo. Dakayo ti pundasion dagiti pamiliatayo, ken agtultuloykayo nga agserbi a modelo para kadagiti sumarsaruno a kaputotan.

Agbiag dagiti Senior Citizens!
Agbiag, Natan-ok a Badoc!

I joined the blessing and ceremonial ribbon-cutting of Karmelli Clinic and Hospital Pinili Inc. in Barangay Apatut-Lubong, Pinili, Ilocos Norte, marking its upgrade from an infirmary to a Level 1 Hospital Facility.

The upgraded facility, managed by its owners and administrators Dr. Norman Rabago and Dr. Lilibeth Rabago, brings expanded healthcare services closer to the people of Pinili and nearby municipalities, including emergency care, laboratory services, and in-patient care. The blessing was officiated by Rev. Fr. Ian Rabago. Governor Cecilia Araneta-Marcos led the ceremonial ribbon-cutting, along with Mayor Edward Quilala and Vice Mayor Judith Quilala of Currimao, and other local officials and guests.

I congratulate the Rabago family and the entire Karmelli team for this important investment in healthcare. This facility will help strengthen access to essential medical services for our communities and reduce the need for residents to travel to Batac or Laoag for basic hospital care.

Congratulations, Karmelli Clinic and Hospital Pinili Inc.! I wish you continued success in providing compassionate, affordable, and quality healthcare to our people. God bless.

I welcomed representatives of the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) for a meeting and presentation on the Balaoan-Burgos 500kV Transmission Line Project.

We discussed the project, its implementation, and matters concerning the Municipality of Badoc, including proper coordination with the Local Government Unit.

The project forms part of NGCP’s efforts to expand the transmission system and accommodate additional generation capacity in Northwestern Luzon while addressing projected electricity demand in the Ilocos Region.

I look forward to continued coordination with NGCP and concerned agencies as we work together on matters involving the project and our community.

I welcomed the officers of the National Police College, Magalang, Pampanga, who conducted a Public Safety and Security Area Study in the Municipality of Badoc as part of their PSOAC Class 2026-9.

The area study focused on gaining a better understanding of Badoc’s local public safety and security situation, including peace and order concerns and the coordination of local government and law enforcement in addressing community needs.
The group was composed of PCPT Elison L. Pasamonte, PCPT Melvin P. Soriano, and PCPT Sherwin S. Ramirez, accompanied by PCPT Christopher U. Pola, Chief of the Badoc Municipal Police Station.

The activity provided an opportunity to share local insights and strengthen coordination on matters concerning public safety and security.

Thank you to the National Police College for including Badoc in your area study. We look forward to continued cooperation in promoting a safe, peaceful, and secure community.

Mabuhay ang mga magigiting nating kapulisan!

Today, we join our Aglipayan brothers and sisters in Badoc and across the country in commemorating the 86th death anniversary of Msgr. Gregorio Aglipay, our distinguished fellow Badocqueño and the first Obispo Maximo of the Iglesia Filipina Independiente.

His courage, patriotism, and deep love for the Filipino people remain an important part of our history and of Badoc’s proud heritage.

To all Aglipayans in Badoc and wherever you may be, my warmest greetings on this meaningful commemoration. May Msgr. Aglipay’s life of faith and service continue to inspire generations of Filipinos.
