Having been sworn in as the first-ever female local chief executive of the City of San Fernando was already a huge honor for me, and having the role to lead the City Government and serve the Fernandino constituency elevates that honor to an immeasurable level.

“Inclusive, all-encompassing, quick response, motherly-like” – words that I often get from constituents and stakeholders when they describe my leadership in the past six months. As a reply, I tenderly tell them, “Our leadership. This is a Fernandino leadership.”

And what emerges with this brand of leadership? Programs, projects, and activities.

Through this publication, our readers – from our partners in governance down to communities – will be provided with a share of the stories we produced over the first six months of our administration.

Beyond the following words and photos published here, let us instill in our hearts and minds that this material is a representation of the Fernandino leadership.

Hon. Vilma B. Caluag

City Mayor
