Batac
City—The Sangguniang Panlungsod here
unanimously passed a resolution certified as urgent by Batac Mayor Jeffrey
Jubal Nalupta expressing unequivocal support to Vigan City in its bid to become
one of the Seven Wonder Cities of the World.
Batac councilor Avelard Ibarra
Crisostomo, committee on tourism chair, said the resolution aims to remind
other public officials to support the country’s only city in the selection.
The resolution, he added,
signifies the Batac government strong support for Vigan’s bid aside from soliciting
help from its constituents through text messages.
Of the about thousand cities
in the world, Vigan passed the first elimination phase and became the
Philippines’ lone city in the search.
Mr. Crisostomo who is the
present Region I chairman of the Philippine Councilors League (PCL) is proud
for Vigan which is located in the Ilocos region.
Mr. Crisostomo hopes Vigan
would again get through the second elimination process for it to be included in
the final phase before the end of the year.
Relative to this, Mr. Crisostomo
asked the full support of the people of Ilocos Norte to vote for Vigan for the
said competition.
Streamers in schools,
municipalities and cities in the entire country have been posted requesting to
vote for Vigan to be included in the seven wonder cities in the world by
texting “vigan10” and sending it to 29290777. (Dominic B. Dela Cruz)
