Mayor Barry Baguio

Here in Kapatagan, Lanao del Norte, you can rest assured that your local elected officials (and the local governments you trust them to lead) are working on your behalf to cut across boundaries, parties, and other obstacles in order to give you the best service and quality of life possible.

I am particularly appreciative of the leadership role of the Kapatagan LGU Officials has taken to ensure we are all working together to solve shared challenges and reach common goals. For well over a year, the Kapatagan Municipality has organized quarterly meetings where dozens of officials are having these conversations. Elected officials and staff members from the municipality are invited to share information and consider ways to improve relationships and services. This means we are regularly working together in ways that would have been unheard.
