Cheung—as well as the department heads, the members of the 16th Sangguniang Bayan, and all attendees. He warmly greeted everyone with a heartfelt, “Maayong buntag kanatong tanan.”

He emphasized the importance of sustaining valuable and responsive services for all Loonanons and clients of the Municipality. He further assured that the 16th Sangguniang Bayan remains steadfast in supporting the needs of every office to ensure efficient and quality governance.

He praised the ongoing efforts and the successful operations conducted to apprehend violators, expressing optimism that such initiatives will persist for the welfare and safety of the community.
The Vice Mayor closed his message with an uplifting note: “Good morning natong tanan ug madanihong adlaw!”—a fitting reminder of unity, service, and collective commitment to the progress of Loon.
