Laoag City—Superbrands Marketing International, Inc.
(SMI)recognized Laoag City councilor Handy T. Lao as an Outstanding Local
Legislature in the Philippines.
Mr. Lao as a political newcomer gained many achievements in quality
governance in this city, focusing on business welfare as a member of the city council.
One of his successful contributions is City Ordinance no. 2017-041 Series
of 2017: An ordinance protecting the consumers in purchasing second-hand or
used cellular phone devices by the seller requiring them to provide valid
documents as means to identify the identity, the source and the details of the
seller and the device.
The ordinance is one of the revelations now of the recent law signed by
President Rodrigo R. Duterte, the Republic Act (R.A.) 11202, or the
"Mobile Number Portability Act", which requires mobile service
providers to provide nationwide mobile number portability to subscribers
Mr. Lao is a member of the National Movement of Young Legislators-Ilocos
Norte Chapter chaired by Sangguniang Panlalawigan member Matthew Joseph M. Manotoc,
an SMI Hall of Fame awardee.

three-time awardee from 2015 to 2017, placing her in the Hall of Fame, too.
Another three-time awardee is Laoag City Mayor Chevylle V. Fariñas, who was
recognized from 2016 to 2018.
