Introduction of the GOHS

Today, this task of introducing our guest of honor and speaker is a great
privilege. I know this one is difficult but the thought that she is a woman
of virtue and simplicity, I feel delighted to introduce her to everyone
today.

If one takes a closer look at the alchemy of the achieving person,

two distinct virtues pop up, besides perseverance and hard work. These
are: pioneering spirit and willingness. Our guest of honor and speaker
today is the living idiom of a woman who happened to be born at the right
time and at the right place. Coupled with an impressive background, it
was not therefore surprising that she became a devoted public servant in
the Local Government of the City of Laoag – especially in her own
Barangay 16 of the city.

When asked about her… Who she is may not be a surprise. After
all, she had become the person she is now because of the virtues and
values that was developed and nurtured in her during her education at the
Maryknoll College in Manila, now known as the Mirriam College. Many
may be said by others about our guest of honor and speaker, accounts of
tales of stories, true and untrue, but what remains to be good and true is the
fact that this woman of the hour is a woman incomparable to her genuine
intentions to fulfill her chosen vocation – as a devoted and dedicated
public servant – not necessarily the rich people, but more to her fellow
Laoageño who needed much help and attention.

She had lived a very simple life ever since and is known to be
undemanding despite her position and stature in life. You cannot seem to
agree, much less reconcile with the thought of a pedigreed woman
spending hours in her office such as the Chairperson of the Laoag City
Tourism and Social Concerns Council, and willing to witness and come to
the aid of those who needed her expertise when she had to Chair the
Council of Women. And with her position in the government, not only
that she brings hope or enlightenment, but most importantly tries to lead
every Laoageño to their best, especially, she is the Chairman of the
Steering Committees on the Search for the Cleanest and Greenest Day
Care Center in the city and the Search for the Cleanest and Greenest
Barangay, that lead to the road of recovery and comfort among the winners
of these categories.
 As a matter of fact, she had been elected to become the Deputy
Governor of the Federation of Council of Women in the Philippines which
made her even more expert in handling and implementing programs for the
women sector in our city.

Our guest of honor and speaker was born in Laoag City and is
married to who else but the very able and successful Laoag City Mayor,
the Hon. Michael V. Farinas. With their marriage, they were blessed with
_______ children.

Their marriage lead even more of the woman of the hour to become
what she is today as an approachable and magnificent woman in the
government. As a matter of fact, with her marriage to her husband who
undeniably is also a man of service made her to dream and live on with her
aspirations in life – both a dedicated parent – a great mother to her
children and a loving wife to her husband.

Having said all these had made this woman of virtues to be elected
as the Barangay Captain of Barangay 16 San Jacinto, Laoag City -
eventually paving her election as the President of the Association of
Barangay Captains in Laoag City.

And now, my friends, ladies and gentlemen, I feel very proud to

present to you the ex-officio member of the Sangguniang Panlungsod…
the embodiment of a miracle-worker.

Please help me welcome Honorable Chevylle Villanueva Farinas.
