To our respected validators and valued partners:
We extend our heartfelt gratitude and appreciation to all who have contributed to the success of our To***co Control Leadership Program Validation Year 3.
We are especially grateful to the validators from the DOH Provincial and City Offices, whose technical expertise, commitment, and guidance greatly contributed to the evaluation and strengthening of our to***co control program.
To our strong allies in local governance spearheaded by our beloved and ever supportive Municipal Mayor Hon Francisco L. Calvo:
• Municipal Administrator Rachel Manero, who went above and beyond by delivering a well-crafted and comprehensive presentation of the MPOWER framework. Her effort showcased the municipality’s concrete actions in Monitoring to***co use, Protecting the public from secondhand smoke, Offering cessation support, Warning about the dangers of to***co, Enforcing bans on to***co advertising, and Raising taxes. Her presentation reflected the local government’s dedication to aligning with WHO standards and ensuring a smoke- and vape-free Calinog.
• Hon. Rayni Manejable, Sangguniang Bayan Member on Health
• SKMF President Patrick Luceño
• ABC Liga President Leo Andy Panes
Your active participation and leadership continue to motivate us to prioritize public health through effective policies and community involvement.
We also express our sincere thanks to:
• Col. Nicolas Bejemino, Head of the Task Force
• Mr. Eduardo Carcillar, Head of the Volunteer Group
• The Philippine National Police – Calinog

Your steadfast enforcement, support, and presence are vital in realizing our smoke- and vape-free goals.
