Senator Loren Legarda (second from right) receives a plaque of appreciation from Biñan Rep. Marlyn B. ‘Len’ Alonte Naguiat (second from left) for championing arts and culture by gearing the city in Laguna toward culture-based governance. Their work includes the establishment of a local Heritage District, restoration of the town plaza, acquisition of heritage sites, and the declaration of important cultural properties. Flanking them are Biñan Vice Mayor Gel Alonte (left) and Mayor Walfredo ‘Arman’ Dimaguila Jr. during Binan’s Foundation Day last week.
