Tinanggap ni Sorsogon Governor Boboy Hamor ang pagkilala bilang isa sa mga “Outstanding Governors of the Philippines” sa larangan ng social services, ayon sa ulat na inilabas nitong Martes, Abril 28, 2026.

Iginawad ang parangal sa ginanap na 29th National Convention and General Assembly ng Association of Local Social Welfare and Development Officers of the Philippines sa Zamboanga City, kung saan kinilala ang kanyang pamumuno at aktibong pagtutok sa mga programang panlipunan sa lalawigan.

Ayon sa ulat, naging batayan ng pagkilala ang epektibong pagpapatupad ng 7K Program ng pamahalaang panlalawigan, na may ilang pangunahing haligi na nakatuon sa social services, partikular sa pagtugon sa pangangailangan ng mga mahihirap at bulnerableng sektor.

Tatlo lamang na gobernador sa buong bansa ang napili para sa nasabing parangal, na itinuturing na indikasyon ng natatanging liderato at malasakit ni Hamor sa kapakanan ng mga Sorsoganon.

Binigyang-diin ng pamahalaang panlalawigan na ang pagkilalang ito ay hindi lamang para sa gobernador kundi para sa buong lalawigan ng Sorsogon, bilang resulta ng patuloy na pagpapaigting ng mga serbisyong panlipunan sa ilalim ng 7K at 7K Plus programs.

LEBANON BEACH SA BACON, PANSAMANTALANG ISINARA SA MGA MALILIGO DAHIL SA PELIGRO NG MALALAKAS NA ALON

SORSOGON CITY (Bicol News) - Pansamantalang ipinagbawal ang pagligo at paglangoy sa Lebanon Beach na matatagpuan sa Barangay San Juan, Bacon District, sa koordinasyon ng Sorsogon City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (DRRMO) at mga opisyal ng barangay.

Ayon sa DRRMO, ipinatupad ang hakbang habang hinihintay pa ang pinal na aksyon ng pamahalaang barangay kaugnay sa kanilang rekomendasyon na magpatupad ng “No Swimming Policy” sa nasabing lugar.

Batay sa ulat, sunod-sunod na insidente ng pagkalunod ang naitala sa Lebanon Beach, na iniuugnay sa malalakas na alon at mapanganib na agos ng dagat sa lugar.

Dahil dito, mahigpit na pinapaalalahanan ang publiko na sumunod sa ipinatutupad na pansamantalang pagbabawal upang maiwasan ang karagdagang sakuna.

Patuloy namang mino-monitor ng mga awtoridad ang sitwasyon at inaasahang maglalabas ng karagdagang abiso kaugnay sa kaligtasan ng mga bibisita sa lugar.
