- Mayor Alarcon

𝐋𝐎𝐎𝐊: The Local Government Unit of Batad took the lead in presenting the proposed Alapasco Integrated Area Development Plan during a consultative meeting, highlighting its commitment to advancing sustainable initiatives for Brgy. Alapasco. The discussion, held at the Governor’s Office, was facilitated by Regional Executive Director Raul L. Lorilla to align development strategies.

This undertaking was attended by Mayor Elvira P. Alarcon, Vice Mayor Steven Michael Y. Andrada, select LGU department heads, representatives from the Iloilo Provincial Government and key officials from NIA and the DENR, including Assistant Regional Director for Technical Services Edgardo M. Rostata, PENRO Iloilo Salvador C. Manglinong, Jr., CENRO Antonio Latoza, Jr., and other technical personnel.

The proposed plan aims to uplift the quality of life of residents while promoting environmental stewardship, strengthening ecological resilience, and enhancing community self-reliance. It also focuses on empowering local institutions and developing sustainable livelihoods, including agri-ecotourism initiatives aligned with existing land use and forest land use plans.

May is National Heritage Month.

This is our time to pause and listen to the stories woven into our identity. Stories of ancestors who built with their hands, traditions that have shaped us, places that hold our memories. Stories of youth who carry these forward with hope and imagination.

This May, we invite you to become part of these narratives. Visit a heritage site. Learn a traditional craft. Listen to an elder's story. Support a young artist. Celebrate with your community. Together with NCCA, we invite you to practice all these with us!

In every act, you honor where we come from and help build where we are going.

Our heritage is not something to preserve behind glass. It is alive in our hands, our hearts, our choices. It grows when we tend to it together.

Roots and Horizons. Shared Heritage. Our Collective Future.

Join us this May because OUR story matters.
