People: Rep. Randolph S. Ting

Having served Tuguegarao as mayor for almost a decade, everyone from the city definitely know this guy who could be considered as the person primarily responsible for the transformation of Tuguegarao from an ordinary town to a progressive city.  His efforts and works for the city of Tuguegarao made him Most Outstanding Mayor for two consecutive years in 2002 and 2003. After serving his last term as mayor of the city, he ran for a seat at the congress but failed as he lost to Manny Mamba. Believing that he was robbed of a congress seat and that the people wants him to be their representative in the congress, he ran again during the last elections and successfully earned a seat in the country's 15th Congress. In this new venture of his, he hopes to help the entire third district of Cagayan and its people like the way he helped Tuguegarao.

Here is a glimpse of what he has been doing with his legislative work:
