RECEIVING AWARDS IS AMANTE’S ROUTINE CPO LOLITA DAYO

Receiving awards as an Outstanding City Mayor is seem already a routine for Mayor Vicente B. Amante as the 5th Elected City Mayor of San Pablo according to former City Population Officer Lolita S. Dayo, who served as City Nutrition Action Officer from 1983 to 2005 when she reached the mandatory retirement age.

When he assumed office as Mayor on June 30, 1992, among his initial actions was to recommend the creation of the Office of the City Administrator, Office of the City Population Officer, Office of the City Cooperative Officer, and the Office of the City Information Officer, in accordance with the provisions of the Local Government Code of 1991 or Republic Act No. 7160, believing that the creation of these offices will help enhance the delivery of educational, health, and social services to the community, particulary among those living in the countrysides.

In effect, Mrs. Dayo said that on November of 1993, San Pablo was chosen as “The Most Outstanding Local Government Unit (City Level)” under a program being implemented jointly by the National Economics and Development Council (NEDA), the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) and the Department of Health (DOH), with some supports from the Department of Agriculture (DA), and the Philippine Information Agency (PIA), and the award was personally received by Mayor Vicente B. Amante from President Fidel V. Ramos during a program held at Malacañang Palace’s Heroes Hall. A feat that the mayor repeats every November until Year 1998, because of his invaluable service to the City of San Pablo, particularly in the field of health, social welfare, and gender and development.

As one of the program coordinators of Mayor Amante, Mrs. Lolita S. Dayo, was subsequently chosen as “Women Executive of the Year” for Region IV by the Civil Service Commission (CSC), making her the only provincial/city government department head to received such award, since the previous awardees were either provincial governors or regional directors of the line agencies of the Philippine Government.

It was also recalled by Mrs. Dayo, that though not always the first placer, San Pablo City is always included among the Green Banner Awardees (for City Level) in Region IV-A from 1996 to 2001 under a program of the Department of Agriculture being implemented by the National Nutrition Council (NNC). This is reflective of the concern for the health and welfare of the young. Under the administration of Mayor Vic Amante, it was observed that annually, a Barangay Nutrition Scholar (BNS) from San Pablo are being chosen as outstanding in the region, and the awards are being granted by the Secretary of Agriculture.

DOÑA LEONILA (MINI-FOREST) PARK

What is now known as Doña Leonila (Mini-Forest) Park overlooking the Sampaloc Lake is actually a portion of the site for the City Hall Complex purchased in 1937 by the Municipal Government of San Pablo headed by President Inocencio Barleta, which was partly developed after the termination of World War II under the administration of appointed City Mayor, Dr. Fernando A. Bautista. During the incumbency of elected Mayor Lauro D. Dizon Sr., with the help of the Rotary Club of San Pablo, and under the supervision of Dr. Juan B. Hernandez, then club secretary of the local Rotary Club and Chairman of the City Beautification Committee, constructed some park structures at the park, with the fountain featuring the country lass with agriculture harvest as centerpiece. Probably, Hernandez and then City Engineer Perfecto Reyes were inspired by the figures affixed on the façade of the City Hall Building which symbolizes progress. Sometimes on April of 1961 when then President Carlos Garcia made a...
