House of Representatives minority leader Marcelino Libanan of the 4Ps party-list has been declared “adopted son” of Northern Samar and Samar provinces via separate resolutions passed by their respective provincial boards.
In a resolution, the Northern Samar provincial board cited Libanan “for committing himself to the upliftment of the lives of Nortehanons.”
Similarly, the Samar provincial board also recognized Libanan for his “exemplary and notable contributions to the development of Samar.”
The two provinces credited Libanan for his help in mobilizing much-needed national government development funding for high-value projects that are meant to improve the living standards, social conditions, and economic opportunities for Samarnons.
Libanan, who is from Eastern Samar province, earlier introduced a bill proposing to establish the new Samar Island Region.
As proposed by Libanan in House Bill No. 10727, the three provinces of Northern Samar, Samar, and Eastern Samar would form the new administrative region.
