Mayor Garin, a film enthusiast himself and founder of Guimbal and Miagao iFilm, lauded the barangay officials for holding an activity that supports the local government’s program on film production.

Now in its second year, Bombay Festival is held annually in gratitude for the bountiful harvest of onions, locally known as bombay, that the barangay’s farmers have reaped throughout the year.

The municipal government, under the leadership of Mayor Richard Garin responded immediately to the needs of the families who were affected by the recent encounter between the Philippine Army and the New People’s Army.

On March 5, 2024, the personnel from the MSWDO, MHO, MDRRMO and the Office of the Mayor personally delivered food packs and conducted medical assessment and consultations to some 68 families.

These families from Barangays Igsoligue, Igpandan, Igcabitoon and Bacolod were directly affected by the encounter and sought refuge in the Day Care Centers of the aforementioned barangays.

The MENR Office is strictly implementing the ‘No Segregation, No Collection’ Policy of the local government. Likewise, the collection of garbage in the designated garbage disposal area of the barangays only.

Thank you for your usual support and cooperation to this initiative of the LGU! Padayun lang!
