Mayor Rosauro V. Masilang was sworn into office in simple
rites at the Sariaya Sports Center on Saturday, June 30, 2007, after a 6 am
mass at the Saint Francis of Assisi Parish Church. With his mother Mrs. Ada
Villones V. de Masilang., wife Rowena and their three children by his side, he
thanked everyone for all the support that earned him the right and honor to
serve as Chief executive of Sariaya for the next three years. He then reached
out for those who thought otherwise and enlisted their help in working hand in
hand for the future of the town.
Acknowledging the great responsibility handed to him by the
mandate, he elaborated on the putting up of a "People’s Consultative Council"
so that everybody can participate and share in his transparent leadership of a
new Sariaya.
Riding on the crest of his campaign slogan "Kagalingang
Panglahat", he said that the start of his job will be a professional and
apolitical "back to the barracks" scheme of putting the House (Municipio)
in order, without prejudice to the basic services.
Mayor Boyet vowed to alleviate the water problem and
institute reforms on taxation, most especially in the business sector, to
attract much-needed investments into the local economy. He promised effective
regulation measures for quarrying, as well as the rehabilitation and reforestation
of denuded areas, so that Sariaya will never be another Ormoc. He challenged
the local PNP to do their best to assure a good peace and order situation, an
important necessity for progress.
Among his other priorities will be beneficial programs for
health, nutrition, family welfare, education and sports for all Sariayahins.
Also high on his agenda will be the putting up of schools for technical and
vocational courses, wherein the graduates will receive endorsements from the
local government for employment to electronics companies in Metro Manila and
nearby provinces. He will actively push for a comprehensive school
computerization program, to ensure computer literacy among the students.
Amid all the applause, he enlisted the cooperation of the rank
and file municipal employees, fellow elected officials and all Sariayahins in
the pursuit of his goal for a new and progressive Sariaya with his battle cry, "Arya Sariaya".
Also sworn into office were Vice Mayor Romualdo Nonato L.
Nantes, and the eight Sangguniang Bayan members namely Oliver C. Villapando,
Alex Tolentino Sr., Haydee M. Caringal, Minerva R. Remo, Gerardo Q. Abril,
Jeffrey M. Mayuga, Alfredo A. Joven and Margarita V. Montero.
Intermission numbers were provided by the Saint Joseph’s Academy
students, Sariaya East Central School teachers, Sariaya West Elementary School
teachers and Canda National High School students. Refreshments were served for
all the people who filled the Sariaya Sports Center. The proceedings were
broadcast live locally over the Sariaya Cable Network (SCAN).
