BORONGAN, Eastern Samar  –  Sol Angeli E. Libanan, 24, wins one seat in the Sangguniang Panlalawigan (SP) in the recently held Provincial Councilors League (PCL) elections.

Garnering 164 votes of the total 230 registered PCL members, the young Libanan who sits as Sangguniang Bayan member of Taft LGU expressed relief after the tough electoral battle.

In an  interview, the lady was all smiles as she recalled how Mama Elda, after she was proclaimed winner, embraced her tightly and told her, “Board Member ka na!”

The charming, slim lady legislator, who is “Bisol” to family and friends, plans to encourage her colleagues to harness further their knowledge and education, as an important tool in their line of work.

She added that she plans to bring them to other LGUs in the country for study tours because she believes traveling is also a way of learning.

Board Member Bisol chairs the SP Tourism Committee which is fitting to her educational preparation having finished the diploma Course in HRM and Tourism at the London International Hotel Management and English School.

For her bachelor’s Degree, she graduated a Business Management Course, major in International Business at the SouthVille Foreign College in Las Pinas City.

Asked to comment on SPM Libanan’s victory at the SP, Governor Conrado Nicart Jr. said he was happy about it, because she can help him in the exercise of his duties and responsibilities particularly in the deliberation of appropriation ordiancnes for projects which will be submitted by the Executive Department.

SPM Libanan is the daughter of former Congressman and now Immigration Commissioner, Marcelino Libanan and wife Elda.
