According to her, despite the threat of COVID-19, it was indeed a busy year for the LGU, wherein the LGU was still able to undertake several initiatives for the residents of Castillejos’ welfare. She also invited everyone to participate in the three (3)-Day Immunization undertaking, by urging all participants to bring unvaccinated people to the four (4) designated vaccination sites. She also reminded barangay officials to secure their Safety Seals and adhere to Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF) decisions and other guidelines. "Kayang-kaya natin kung sama-sama tayo para sa mas mapayapa, ligtas, at malusog na Bayan ng Castillejos", Mayor Dominguez concluded in her message.
The POPS Cluster meets every quarter to ensure that all of its members' activities, issues, and concerns are appropriately coordinated and interventions are addressed to respective channels.
