Vice Mayor Agatep Leads “Little LGU Officials” in Celebration of Legislators’ Month
Lasam, Cagayan – October 7, 2025. Hon. Dannah Paula T. Agatep, Municipal Vice Mayor of Lasam, spearheaded the Little LGU Officials program in celebration of Legislators’ Month in the Philippines. The event gathered Grade 3 pupils from all 30 barangays of Lasam.
The activity featured a general information quiz bee, followed by a self-introduction segment where participants shared their aspirations of becoming future public servants. The top two pupils were proclaimed as Little Mayor and Little Vice Mayor, while the rest assumed roles as Little Sangguniang Bayan Members and Little Department Heads.
Through this initiative, the designated Little LGU Officials were given the chance to immerse in the different offices of the Local Government Unit, providing them with first-hand experience of public service. The program seeks to inspire young Lasameños to embrace leadership, responsibility, and the essence of being a public servant in the future.
Among the participants, ZYNAH GLEYN R. QUEBRAL of Nabannagan Elementary School , Lasam, Cagayan, was chosen as Little Tourism Officer and was formally escorted by Mr. Elmer A. Acierto, the Municipal Tourism Officer of Lasam. During her engagement, she visited several of Lasam’s tourism sites, promoted the municipality’s prime product—the Tinupig, and concluded her tour at Natalged Park, one of the flagship tourism infrastructure projects of Mayor Dante Dexter A. Agatep. She also took memorable photos at Lasam Rizal Park.
The Little LGU Officials program underscores the commitment of the Local Government of Lasam to nurture the youth as future leaders and advocates of public service.
