Pamahalaang Bayan, pinangunahaan ang Paggunita sa Araw ng Kalayaan
June 12, 2017 -- Pinangunahan ni Vice Mayor (VM) Oliver Pascual kasama ang mga local na opisyal at mga empleyado ng pamahalaang bayan, ang pagdiriwang ng ika-119 na taon ng paggunita sa Araw ng Kasarinlan ng Pilipinas.
Ginanap ang simple ngunit makahulugang pagtitipon sa liwasang-bayan kaninang ika-8 ng umaga. Dinaluhan ito ng mga hepe at mga kawani mula sa mga tanggapang pang-nasyunal.
Tampok sa paggunita ay ang panalanging ekumeniko na dinaluhan nina Fr. Franklin Manibog ng Simbahang Katoliko Romano, Pres. Manuel de Guzman ng Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, at Bishop Jose Tablit ng Tucalana Christian Fellowship. Ito ay sumasagisag na ang tunay na kalayaan ay kaakibat ng pagkakabuklod-buklod ng mga Pilipino, anuman ang etnisidad, anuman ang paniniwala, at anuman ang kung anong pagkaka-iba.
Nagkaroon ng seremonyal na pagtaas ng bandila ng Pilipinas at ang sabayang pag-awit sa Lupang Hinirang. Bahagi rin ang pag-aalay ng bulaklak sa paanan ng rebulto ng ating pambansang bayani na si Gat Jose Rizal na pinangunahan ni VM Oliver Pascual, mga miyembro ng Sangguniang Bayan, hepe ng lokal na pulisya, at ng MLGOO.
Bilang pagtatapos, nag-iwan ng konting mensahe si VM Pascual. Hinimok niya ang kanyang mga kapwa lingkod bayan na itaguyod ang pangkalahatang kapakanan at isabuhay ang mga liriko ng pabansang awit -- na hindi sana maglaho ang alab sa ating mga puso upang pangalagaan ang ating kasarinlan.

Bidding farewell doesn’t mean the end. It just signifies a new and better beginning!
Apparently, the demolition of the Aladino Dupaya Sports Gymnasium cannot incite poignant expressions on the faces of Lal-loquenos as it beckons the construction of a new municipal gymnasium.
Started last March 12, the demolition of old structure is just a part of the Php62.5 M budget for the construction of a multi-purpose center, a would-be new site for municipal indoor gatherings.
According to Municipal Engineer Ronald Matas, the construction of the new Multi-Purpose Center replacing the almost-five-decade old gymnasium is realized after a Php50 M allocation from the General Appropriations Act (GAA) with a Php12.5 M counterpart from the Local Government Unit.
“…the amount came from the GAA through Sen. Jinggoy Estrada with the initiative of Mayor Florante C. Pascual…12.5 M came from the LGU as counterpart,” the municipal engineer stated in his report.
When finished, the Multi-Purpose covering a total of 2,925 square meters (45mx65m), will have a lobby area, 1 room [each] for tourism office, showroom, pump room, costume library, gym, 2, VIP lounges, 2 rooms [each] for administration,  locker, executive, function and for technicians, 3 storage rooms, 7 comfort rooms, and 13 rentable areas.
Enumerating the features of the center, the municipal engineer also indicated that the stage will be 18 m long and 6 m wide, enough to accommodate at most 100 persons at a time.
Targeted to be completed on August 28, 2018 after 900 calendar days, the Multi-purpose Center will accommodate approximately 3,000 people.#jencolumna
