Together for adolescent health and well-being!
Another significant milestone in youth-centered legislation is marked with the passage of Municipal Ordinance No. 163, Series of 2025, establishing a municipal policy on the prevention of teenage and adolescent pregnancies, institutionalizing social protection for teenage and adolescent mothers, and providing funds therefor.
Sponsored by Hon. Aljo Cabos Gaw, SK Federation President and Ex-Officio SB Member, the ordinance reinforces the Municipalityโs commitment to safeguarding the welfare, health, and future of young people.
This landmark measure comes alongside the enactment of another youth-focused ordinance, further strengthening Baseyโs local policies on youth protection, development, and empowermentโproving that legislation can be a powerful tool in shaping safer and more inclusive communities for the next generation.
A heartfelt gratitude to Mayor Luz Basas Chu Ponferrada, Vice Mayor Honesto M. Zeta and SB Members for their continuous guidance and encouragement. Thank you so much for the supportโCommittee on Youth and Sports Development, Committee on Health Chaired by Hon. Lourdes Reggie Ragandan-Yu, Committee on Women and Social Services chaired by Hon.
