MAITUM, Sarangani (December 18, 2007) - Angeline Bautista, girl-vice mayor, opens the 25th regular session of the 15th Sangguniang Bayan in lieu of the regular members. Beside her is Vice Mayor Tito Balazon. The activity follows a municipal ordinance that boy or girl "officials" hold office to provide the youth insights on governance and to develop their potentials as future leaders and enlightened citizens. The "officials", elected thru secret balloting by the youth themselves, held the offices of the mayor, vice mayor, municipal councilors and department heads under the supervision of the true officials. Under the ordinance, every second week of December is a "boy/girl officials' week" in the municipality wherein youth ages 13-17 shall perform the duties and responsibilities of the positions they hold.
