The City Government of Tagum will finally have a new address on the occasion of the formal and official transfer of the seat of government on Monday, March 7.
The Inauguration and Blessing of the New City Hall will be held at 8:30 in the morning of the Araw ng Tagum immediately after the Civic and Military Parade, and is part of the 5-in-1 Celebration of the Musikahan Festival, Tagumenyo Bisa’g Asa, the State of the City Address of Mayor Allan L. Rellon, and the 18th Araw ng Tagum.
Rellon will lead the Tagumenyos in the celebration of the city’s “debut” which was declared a special non-working holiday by Malacañang through a presidential proclamation signed by President Benigno Aquino.
“I share your excitement. It is with great pride and honor to lead you as your City Mayor on this defining moment in our city’s history,” Rellon told Tagumenyos during his speech at the opening ceremonies of 5-in-1 celebration last February 28.
The transfer, which will concurrently fall on the 18th anniversary of Tagum’s conversion into a component city, is provided for in City Ordinance No. 281, Series of 2008 enacted by the 4th City Council of the City of Tagum, stating that the local government unit shall specify the seat of government from where the governmental and corporate services shall be delivered.
The completion of the roughly 8-year old state of the art New City Hall, which sits on a sprawling 14.5- hectare property donated by the Ayala Family in Barangay Apokon, has become one of the most waited and widely anticipated events in the City of Tagum.
Meanwhile, Rellon said the Old City Hall will be converted into a museum which will be under the care of the City Historical and Cultural Commission. Richi D. Gulle/ CIO-Tagum
