Celebrating 455 years of history and progress, the Provincial Government of Laguna, led by Governor Sol Aragones, gathered Capitol employees and provincial officials at the Time Plaza, Provincial Capitol, to honor the province’s enduring legacy while unveiling expanded healthcare initiatives for its workforce.
In her message, Aragones reflected on Laguna’s long history and acknowledged the collective efforts that have driven the province’s development.
“Marami nang naiambag ang ating mga empleyado, mga mamamayan, at maging ang mga naging gobernador ng Laguna.”
“Mahaba-haba na ang hinayhay ng Lalawigan ng Laguna. Marami nang naiambag ang ating mga empleyado, mga mamamayan, at maging ang mga naging gobernador ng Laguna,” the lady governor said, emphasizing that every generation has played a vital role in building the province.
She also announced expanded healthcare services for Provincial Capitol employees. In addition to the free Dental Clinic at the Provincial Health Office (PHO), she shared that beginning August 3, employees may also avail themselves of free laboratory tests, electrocardiogram (ECG), and X-ray services as part of the provincial government’s continuing efforts to promote employee wellness.
“Kung inaalagaan ko ang ating mga kababayan sa Laguna, importante ring maayos ang kalusugan ng ating mga empleyado.”
Highlighting the importance of caring for government workers, Aragones said, “Kung inaalagaan ko ang ating mga kababayan sa Laguna, importante ring maayos ang kalusugan ng ating mga empleyado.”
She likewise encouraged Capitol personnel to continue serving the public with courtesy and compassion, saying, “Ang lambing lang ni Gov. Sol, ay kasama ko rin kayo sa pag-aalaga sa ating mga kababayan. Kaya dito sa Kapitolyo, huwag magtataray o magsusungit. At dahil diyan, importante ring masaya kayo.”
The celebration also featured cultural performances and the Group Dance Fitness Contest among Capitol employees. Cluster D emerged as Champion and Best in Costume, followed by Cluster C as 1st Runner-up, Cluster B as 2nd Runner-up, and Cluster A as 3rd Runner-up. A surprise giveaway, with prizes hidden beneath selected seats, added excitement and camaraderie to the milestone celebration.
As Laguna commemorates 455 years of history, the celebration underscored not only the province’s rich heritage and shared achievements but also the Provincial Government’s continuing commitment to fostering a healthy, motivated, and people-centered workforce recognizing that caring for public servants is essential to delivering better public service for every Lagunense.
