MOST OUTSTANDING MAYOR AWARD 2021

What sets Mayor Medrano apart is his ability to foresee
and plan ahead of his constituents’ needs. He is the architect
of the “Paspas Dur-as Sarrat” (meaning Fast-Progress
Sarrat), an advocacy and a mission to bring Sarrat in its
stalled progress. His expertise, discipline and the quality
of his work as an Engineer has given the town a sense of
pride with all the infrastructures built in such a short period
in office. Specifically, the Sarrat Civic Center, MDRRMC
Building (the biggest in the province), Rural Health Building
II, Municipal Slaughterhouse, two Senior Citizens Buildings
and the multi-year budgeted kilometer-long Sarrat Riverwalk
for health and tourism. He refurbished idle buildings such as
the Public Market, Agriculture Building and Old Presidencia to
become revenue-generating enterprises, constructed potable
water systems to address future water shortage, landscaped
the Sarrat Plaza for tourism, constructed additional school
buildings, and improved farm road networks, bridges,
flood control dikes, small water impounding projects, and
many more.

Mayor Medrano has championed his mission of progress
without sacrificing the environment. He established the first
ECC-compliant Sanitary Landfill in Sarrat. Integrated therein
are the Materials Recovery Facility, Organic Facility, and
Nursery in one location. The MRF is equipped with complete
waste reduction machineries and concrete block makers out of
solid wastes, the first in the province. Not only did he address
the growing problems in managing wastes, but also gave the
town’s share of responsibility towards climate change and
biodiversity by strictly ordering the preservation and cleanliness
of the Sarrat river and its forests.

Remigio Medrano refuses to be called Honorable. He takes
responsibility as a Mayor who has been given a chance by God
to share his wisdom and expertise to his hometown through
public service with passion and integrity.
