Orosco challenged parents to prioritize the education of their children.
According to him, education is a continuing process, “as long as we live, studying should be a non-stop activity of everybody,” he added.

Orosco thanked his constituents for giving him another mandate for his second term as mayor.

Nanay Meding said that she will build another day care center in Brgy. Dapdapan to be funded by her personal money.
Nanay Meding was the founder of St. Francis of Assisi in Manila before becoming mayor of this town.
