GLAN, Sarangani, Oct 22 (PIA) -- A national awards-giving body has chosen Dr. Vivien B. Yap as this year’s Best Municipal Vice Mayor of the Philippines. | |||
Yap was cited by the Gawad League of Vice Mayors Information and Research Services for her “exemplary achievements in the pursuit of her chosen career both in politics and in the field of medicine, where she demonstrated exceptional quality of leadership, imbued with lofty idealism, courage and impeccable record in public service, thereby contributing much to the socio-economic development of Glan and the uplift of the living condition of her constituents.” | |||
The awarding ceremony for this year’s Gawad LVM awards was held at the Manila Hotel last September 17, but due to unavoidable circumstances, Yap was unable to attend and receive the Plaque of Recognition in person. | |||
“I’m not really at ease being put on the spot, in the limelight, just because I am doing what I am supposed to do, in the first place,” she said. | |||
Yap is the author of a special ordinance declaring every April of the year as Mahin Festival Month in Glan, adding a new dimension to the beach festival craze now spreading all over the region. | |||
She also helped craft, among other major ordinances and resolutions, the new Local Tax Code, which substantially cut down business and license fees but at the same time expanded the town’s tax base with more investments and businesses opening up because of the lower taxes. | |||
She had been a barangay captain and an ex-officio provincial board member, aside from being a practicing physician doing mostly charitable work, before she was elected as the town’s second highest official in the May 2010 elections. (GLAN Info and News Service/PIA General Santos City) | |||
