Vintar, Ilocos Norte—The Sangguniang Bayan here now holds its regular Monday sessions via live social media streaming, a move aimed at promoting transparency and keeping residents informed of local legislative proceedings.

Vintar Vice Mayor and council presiding officer Dr. Maribel Albano announced this as one of the body's innovations in conducting its regular sessions.

"Ammu yo gamin appo ket very vital ngamin amin a mapaspasamak ti uneg iti Sangguniang Bayan because this is where the seat of governance is centered on," Albano said.

She added that the public deserves to know about all ordinances and resolutions being deliberated and approved in real time, underscoring the importance of transparency in local governance.

Albano noted that live coverage will continue even during out-of-office sessions held in barangays. In areas with poor signal, particularly in far-flung barangays, sessions will be recorded and aired at a later time.

In related announcements, Albano said the Sangguniang Bayan has crafted an ordinance establishing its own official legislative logo — the first time the body will have a formal seal for use in official transactions and documents.

She also announced that the proposed Legislative Building has recently broken ground at a site adjacent to the existing Municipal Hall.

This year, the week-long festivity highlighted a grand parade around the town plaza and a pinakbet cook fest at the municipal gymnasium to showcase the best pinakbet in town.
