i was assigned in silago – the barangay of hingatungan to be exact – way back in 1980. at that time, the road to the north going to abuyog was not opened yet. that meant that silago was the farthest town from tacloban at that time. things were very different then. glad to see the changes.
Growth and development is slowly coming or rather very slowly coming to many rural areas in the country. I am very impatient and sometimes angry why until now there are no roads that connect towns and cities. Many times I wish I were the president. Ha ha ha
Go for it! start now. perhaps start with the mayoralty position in your town. we need more idealistic people to run the show for us.
Silago have come so far! As early as the Newly Elected Mayor of Silago Hon. Lemuel Palanca Honor, Silagonhon had started to “BANGON” for many decades of snail improvement! Now, in this Christmas Season Silago became known for its Christmas Lights Display and Night Market that enticed other neighboring towns to visit the spectacular sights. This was actually featured in TVPatrol.
This new year 2023, soon the new Silago will arise and surely people will comment, AHHHH LAMI KADURU! Lets help one another and support Silago!
Desclaimer: I’m not paid to give comment. Im a future Vlogger local of Silago, soon to feature more about the place.
