In pursuant to this Republic Act, Barangay Dalipuga, Iligan City, Lanao Del Norte, Philippines conducted a Barangay General Assembly last March 31, 2018. They have been conducting the Barangay General Assembly every last Saturday of the month of March and February. The General Assembly of Barangay Dalipuga was held at the Barangay Gymnasium. The General Assembly started around two o’clock in the afternoon.

It was opened by our very own Barangay Chairman, Aloha Baoc Oracion. A representative also from the Department of the Interior and Local Government was also there to relay the message of the Officer-In-Charge of the DILG, Ma’am Elizabeth Buna. It was presented by Mrs. Marychell Seronay from the DILG.

Then the Chief of the Police Station 3, where Barangay Dalipuga belongs, also took the opportunity to inform and give whereabouts of the Curfew that is being followed here at Iligan City.

After the open forum, the barangay council did a raffle of 2 kilograms of rice as a sign of appreciation to the active participation of the people to the General Assembly.

It ended around five o'clock in the afternoon. The people were happy with the result of the General Assembly plus they went home with rice that could feed them for a couple of days too. Hopefully, there would be more people who will attend the next General Assembly. I believe people should be more involved now in order for them to achieve what they want to happen in our community. I believe that the Council will never be able to do their job without the help of the constituents of the Barangay.

I remember you posted an event during the women's day and now this.. i believe your community is very active with such events..keep it up

Yes, and I am too. I love to be involved in everything that is happening in the community. Actually, I am thinking of running in the SK Elections. A lot of people are encouraging me to run because maybe they have seen something in me because I am really active in our place. I am not still sure of it but hopefully, I will be able to think and to finally decide to run or not. :)
