Tabuk City, Kalinga - Ex-mayor Basilio Wandag and ex-congressman Laurence Wacnang led this year's list of personalities who were honored for their roles in the conversion of Tabuk into a city during the Gabi ng Parangal, one of the traditional activities of Tabuk's foundation day celebrations, on June 25, the third day of the first city founding anniversary festivities.
Wandag was credited for setting into motion the drive for the conversion of the then town into a city.
According to the plaque of recognition for Wandag, it was "during his term that his brainchild (Tabuk's conversion into a city) was not only conceptualized but also put into action. He did not heed the advice of some individuals with personal motives to subdivide the municipality. Instead, he persevered to make Tabuk into a city, a decision believed to be advantageous to Tabuk's constituents."
For his part, Wacnang was recognized for his role in the filing and passage of RA 9404 which converted the then municipality into a component city.
In his speech, Wacnang asked the city officials to come up with an effective solution to the erosion and flooding problems being wrought by the Chico River, build all weather roads to the remaining roadless barangays and to locate the new city hall in a different lot.
In his closing remarks, Vice Mayor Rainier Sarol said that it was during the term of Mayor Basilio Wandag in 1998 when the idea of making Tabuk a development center and eventually a city was born and it was Wacnang who brought the dream to a reality through the filing and passage of RA 9404.
He acknowledged the suggestions of Wacnang saying they will be duly considered even as he assured the public that as hoped for by the former solon, the city leadership is properly utilizing the increased funds of the city for priority developmental projects such as the ongoing concreting of roads in the urban center.
Another major honoree of the city government this year is the late Roberto Belgica who, as tricycle driver, returned P40,000.00 and a cellphone left by passengers in two different incidents, and as tanod of Dagupan Weste, for his dedication to duty. He died of cardiac arrest after a day long search for a stolen carabao.
Also posthumously honored during the occasion for their respective contributions to the development of the town were past mayors Tangkib (one name) who sat in 1941-1943, Pio Albert (1946-1947), Agustin Castro (1948-1950,1952-1955), Miguel Buslig, Sr. (1950-1951), Jaime Quirino (1956-1968,1981-1987), Ricarte Quinsaat (1968-1980) and Rommel Diasen (1988-1998).
The barangay councils and tanod organizations of Agbannawag, Bagumbayan and Nambaran were recognized for their peace and order efforts.
The barangay captain and tanods of Agbannawag were instrumental in the peaceful surrender of one of the suspects in the killing of Catholic priest Franciscus Madhu, the barangay officials and tanod of Bagumbayan for the recovery of two stolen large cattle and the barangay officials and tanods of Nambaran were also credited for the arrest of two notorious highway robbers.
Teddy Kub-ao of Bulo, Epifania Sal-ao of Bantay, Gerome Fernandez of Tuga, Warlito Ventura of Masablang and Danilo Marcelo of Malalao were also cited for winning in the regional level in their respective categories the Gawad Saka search of the Department of Agriculture. Kub-ao and Marcelo have reached the national level of the search.
