IN his State of the Barangay Address, chairman Julito Ogsimer clearly presented the direction of his leadership, placing the people at the center of public service.
He emphasized that every program and action of the barangay is aimed at addressing the needs of the community—from basic services, cleanliness, order, peace, and the overall well-being of every resident of Lapasan.
One of the highlights of his report was the active effort to provide solutions to the problems within the barangay.
These are not just plans, but are reflected in concrete actions through the implementation of various projects and initiatives that strengthen infrastructure, public services, and the overall condition of the community.
The barangay continues to function as a responsive government unit ready to serve its people.
The Barangay Assembly was honored by the presence of DILG City Director Ellaine Depaur, DM/CESE, who served as the resource speaker.
In her message, she praised Captain Ogsimer for his hard work, integrity, and dedication in managing the barangay.
She highlighted that Barangay Lapasan is one of the selected Compliant Barangays among the 80 barangays in the city—a significant recognition resulting from proper report submissions, transparency, and adherence to government mandates.
The message of support from PS3 Chief PMAJ Melchor Annaway also reinforced the Ogsimer administration.
The event was a great success, largely due to the strong participation of the community, with more than 1,200 residents in attendance.
This demonstrates that the people of Lapasan are active, engaged, and united in contributing to the development of their barangay.
At the conclusion of his report, Captain Ogsimer humbly yet proudly shared the achievements and progress of the barangay.
He reminded everyone that true development does not come from leadership alone, but from the unity of the people.
According to him, “Everyone can create change, because everyone is called to serve.”
This message leaves both inspiration and a call for continued cooperation, encouraging everyone to work together in further developing Barangay Lapasan.
