Bae Elvira I. Lim | 50th Regular Session

During the 50th Regular Session of the Sangguniang Bayan of Sta. Cruz, I actively participated in the legislative proceedings and expressed my full support for the launch of SMART-SB (Streamlined, Modernized, and Accessible Records for Transparency)—a milestone initiative that marks a significant step toward a more efficient, transparent, and accessible local government.

As the Indigenous Peoples Mandatory Representative (IPMR) of the Municipality of Sta. Cruz, I remain committed to advancing the rights, welfare, and aspirations of the Indigenous Cultural Communities/Indigenous Peoples (ICCs/IPs) while supporting initiatives that promote innovation, accountability, and inclusive governance.

By embracing digital transformation and strengthening participatory leadership, we continue to improve public service, protect indigenous rights, and build a future-ready municipality where every voice is heard.

Together, let us continue building a smarter, more transparent, inclusive, and progressive Sta. Cruz for all.
