Vice Mayors' League of the Philippines National Office

Nagkakaisa para sa mas maayos na serbisyo publiko 🇵🇭

Pinangunahan ni VMLP National President Maynard Francis Bumanglag ng Pinili, Ilocos Norte ang panawagan na pagtibayin ang pagkakaisa ng mga bise alkalde sa buong bansa—lampas sa kulay ng politika—para mas mapabilis at mapabuti ang paggawa ng mga batas na direktang makakatulong sa mamamayan.

Kasabay nito, isinusulong din ng Vice Mayors’ League of the Philippines ang mga makabagong hakbang tulad ng digital na sistema para sa mga ordinansa (E-Legis) at mga maikling pagsasanay katuwang ang University of the Philippines. Layunin nitong gawing mas mabilis ang pagresponde ng mga lokal na pamahalaan sa mga isyu tulad ng pagtaas ng presyo ng langis at pamasahe.

Sa pakikipagtulungan sa Department of Information and Communications Technology at PLDT, patuloy ang hakbang tungo sa mas digital at mas episyenteng pamamahala.

Sa huli, ang layunin ay simple: mas maayos na serbisyo, mas mabilis na aksyon, at mas ramdam na tulong para sa bawat Pilipino. 💙

Pinangunahan ni Pangulong Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. ang panunumpa sa tungkulin ng mga National Executive Officers, National Board Officers at Regional Presidents ng Vice Mayors’ League of the Philippines (VMLP).

Ang mga opisyal ay nahalal noong November 26, 2025, at ngayon ay nagkaroon ng pagkakataon na manumpa sa harap ng Pangulo bilang bahagi ng kanilang opisyal na panunungkulan.

Sa kanyang mensahe, hinikayat ng Pangulo ang mga lokal na opisyal na mas paigtingin ang paggamit ng digital systems sa pamahalaan. Ayon sa kanya, mas nagiging maayos ang pagbabantay sa pondo at mas ligtas ang mga transaksyon kapag ito ay digital.

Pinamumunuan ng VMLP sina Maynard Francis R. Bumanglag (Pinili, Ilocos Norte) at Anthony DLS Suva (Mandaluyong City), na nagbahagi rin sa Pangulo ng kanilang inisyatiba sa digitalization sa pamamagitan ng E-Legis Program.

Matapos ang oath-taking, agad na nagsagawa ng Special Executive Board Meeting ang mga opisyal sa Century Park Hotel Manila upang talakayin ang mahalagang papel ng mga Bise Alkalde sa kasalukuyang oil crisis.
