It was indeed an unexpected blessing for the market vendors who received gifts from Mayor Richard Garin’s daughter – Rica Jane.

On January 30, 2024, Rica Jane distributed rice, pail, and umbrella to the vendors inside the Miagao Public Market.

“Gamay lang dya nga bulig para sa mga vendors kag sa mga January birthday celebrants,” Rica Jane said.

Earlier today, they, along with BM Jo Ann Germinanda, also distributed the same perks to January birthday celebrator.

“Help, support, and join the administration of Mayor Richard Garin.”

This was the message of Mayor Garin to the Miagaowanon businessmen who were in attendance during the distribution of business permits at the JRBB Hall, January 26, 2024.

Mayor Garin thanked them for the payments they made for their permits. This, according to him, was despite the increase in the taxes in the Municipality.

“Nag increase ang aton taxes this is because we are implementing what the legislative has approved. So, the Mayor as an executive is implementing the laws and ordinances passed by the Sangguniang Bayan. Gani, nagapasalamat guid ako sa inyo supporta sa aton administrasyon,” he said.

According to Mayor Garin, these taxes that were collected will be converted to projects for the people. In fact, he said that despite the low collection turn out in 2023, Miagao, through Congresswoman Garin received some more or less 900-million worth of projects.

The Office of the MENR Officer has started the implementation of Executive Order 2023-099, particularly the collection of garbage in the designated common waste disposal area of the barangay only.

Thank you for your usual cooperation in making our town clean.
