ILOILO City – Newly-elected Barangay Captain Nestor Lobaton of Desamparados, Jaro district was the first village official to take his oath of office before Mayor Jose Espinosa III at city hall on May 15.
“I think one of the reasons why they supported me was because they have witnessed my performance in the past without any issue,” said Lobaton.
Lobaton was in his third and last term as barangay councilman and decided to run for barangay captain.
He vowed to continue helping his constituents.
“I have witnessed that the programs of Mayor Joe III were good and helped a lot of people. That is why as newly-elected barangay captain, I will also do my best to bring government services closer to residents of Barangay Desamparados,” said Lobaton.
He also assured the residents of his village to fulfill what’s lacking in their barangay like improving the drainage system, providing free school supplies and helping the indigent. (Iloilo City PIO/PN)
