VICE MAYORS CORNER

I am truly excited to introduce to you our Castilla Legislative Information and Management System—a major step forward in bringing our local government and services into the digital age. This project is designed to make our processes more transparent, efficient, and accessible to all of you.

Through the Castilla Legislative Information and Management System (LIMS), we’ll be able to keep you updated on the status of ordinances, resolutions, and other legislative matters in real-time. You’ll be able to track the progress of local laws and engage with our work more easily. This is all about making sure that you, the people we serve, are informed and involved in what’s happening in our local government.

At the same time, our Castilla Legislative Information and Management System will help improve access to our town’s library resources. Whether you’re a student, teacher, or just someone who loves to read, this system will make it easier for you to search for and borrow books and other learning materials. We hope this will open up more opportunities for education and personal growth, especially in today’s world where access to information is key.

This is just the beginning, and we’re excited about the potential it brings to our town. As your Vice Mayor, I am committed to making sure that we keep moving forward and providing better services for all Castillanos.

Let’s continue to work together for a better, more progressive Castilla

Mabuhay an Castilla!

HON. Mayor Bong Mendoza
