DOLORES, Abra, April 30 (PIA) — Mayor Robert Victor Seares, Jr. has been chosen as Most Outstanding Mayor for the Year 2013 by the Superbrand Marketing International, Inc. (SMI), a multinational and the only international award-giving body in Marketing/Branding in the Philippines and is recognized as Global Brand Arbiter with 88 member-nations.
Seares was nominated to the Most Outstanding Mayor Award (MOMA) 2013 in the Philippines in recognition of his many and sustained development efforts and his special way of implementing the programs and projects of the local government unit (LGU).
Some of the accomplishments of Seares that made a mark are his support in the basic social services of the national government through improved delivery system of health services and education; provision of basic support infrastructure facilities to agriculture; and the promotion of peace and order in the municipality.
In the aspect of educational development, Seares initiated the construction of new classrooms and repair of the old and dilapidated school buildings to ensure the safety and convenience of the pupils and teachers. Books and other library materials were likewise provided to all the elementary and secondary schools in the municipality from the local revenues of the LGU and funds sourced out from Seares’ friends and relatives.
To capacitate the youth and even the graduates in terms of information technology, Seares established the first municipal eCenter in the province.
It is also in Dolores where the first modern Rural Health Unit (RHU) was built with the funding assistance from the Department of Health. Here pregnant women are provided pre-natal care services until they deliver their babies in order to prevent maternal and child mortality caused by the lack or absence of proper medical care.
Seares’ perspective in development management is greatly influenced by the concept of the Bottoms-Up Planning and Budgeting System” where priorities are set in order to maximize the utilization of the LGU’s limited resources and access to sources of augmentative resources needed in their programs and projects that address the problems and needs of the people of Dolores.
As a result, Farm-to-Market Roads and irrigation systems were implemented in the barangays in order to sustain the agricultural productivity of the farmers in the municipality.
Seares has also given special attention to the peace and order situation. The ‘state of the art’ municipal police headquarters is about to be finished.
Awarding of the SMI Most Outstanding Mayor 2013 is set on MAy 2 at Mandarin Hotel. (JDP/MTBB-PIA CAR,Abra)

Posted by glen | May 6, 2013, 3:40 amFor me the right to live is paramount over any award? I pity the victims of summary killings in Dolores. They have their families left due to politics. Just to reach the positions they are dreaming. Senseless killing of tirso …. Sana karma ka din sa pagpatay sa Kanya. WaLa Lang awa.
Posted by Vote for the right person | May 6, 2013, 5:13 amCongratulations Mayor JR! Naubing ka ngem adu ti naaramidam nga kinasayaat kanyami amin nga taga Dolores.
Posted by Beautiful girl | May 6, 2013, 6:06 amListen up dolorenians! FEW people trying to destroy the good name of mayor jr. They are really frustrated in making black propaganda just to put a good man down! Posters/tarps posted all over the town tagging the good leader for the death of tirso won’t affect us coz we knew it right from the start that it was just politically motivated.
Posted by eddie | May 6, 2013, 3:32 pmCongrats sir. My Nostradamus tells me, You will still be Dolores Mayor, Lito Cortez is the new Bise. Brave Ardaniel, Eddie Balmaceda, Boking Trinidad are SB 1, 2, 3… Pudno nga Agserbi Iti Umili!
Posted by Dolores For Progress | May 6, 2013, 8:32 amNot only Dolores Mayor but also TUBO Mayor Hon. Gattud won the said award.

They really can’t accept the reality and the fact that no one could ever ruin your name whatever lies they may tell… Another 3 years for you MAYOR! Congrats from the people of BUCAY

Posted by predo pilorin | May 7, 2013, 6:58 amMayor jr was never caught stealing goods and stabbed a person when cornered. He was not even caught stealing wine in lan’s grocery and stealing meat in public market either. People in dolores knew it…
Posted by kaarruba | May 7, 2013, 5:10 pmbefore you believe people… visit the municipality of dolores… damagen yu dagiti tattao dijai, ta ti pudno a kinatao ti mayor ket maamwan yo babaen iti agnaed iti ili a mismo….

Posted by lando | May 7, 2013, 9:16 pmNagdamag kamin apo! Isuna kano met ti kalaingan a nagmayor!!!
Posted by lando | May 7, 2013, 9:17 pmThe true color of gen magalong could already be seen now. He really showed that he’s siding a candidate who happened to be his relative in dolores. Several supporters of mayor jr were raided including the barangay captains. The question is, how bout the other party???
Posted by ramly | May 7, 2013, 9:40 pmOften, politics who did something good/wrong with their opponent in the past, will eventually have their own dosed as KARMA rules….No one can spare to this universal rules as the saying goes” Kung ano ang itinanim mo, yan ang aanihin mo” so, do good while your time still exist…. And this saying, applies to all of us” Amen!
Posted by Rabong | May 8, 2013, 11:48 amSubsequently, if mayor jr made dolores a nicer place, he will get his karma on this coming election… this only applies to people who’s doing good.
Posted by josie bayaan | May 8, 2013, 3:40 pmIt depends on how you and your mayor Jr characterize his past, current and future deeds especially in this election stage. Remember, KARMA rules!
Posted by kiddo | May 8, 2013, 7:32 pmIf you believe in gossips, you characterize him as a criminal. But if you are a bonafide resident of dolores, whatever accusations you may heard against the mayor would be immaterial. A person is still innocent until proven guilty.. Jr has never violated any law and convicted into any criminal offense.
Posted by josie bayaan | May 9, 2013, 6:31 amSana maglaban laban na lang kayo ng walang siraan at wala kayong idadamay na inosenteng tao!! Remember mga tao ang nagdadala sa inyo sa pedestal soo behave and be nice dahil tao din ang magdadala sa inyo pabababa, walang magagawa ang pera nyo.
Posted by gOODgirL | May 9, 2013, 7:11 ami do believe kung ano ang ginawa mo sa kapwa mo babalik at babalik saiyo, hmm.. let’s try to review d past of those killing victims? wala din kaya silang naging biktima? and d question is ilan din kaya ang napatay nila? i know one or two maybe?
Posted by BLINDITEM | May 9, 2013, 7:23 amIf you have an idea about the killings, maybe you masterminded or you’re one of the killers. Probably from the opponent of mayor jr.
Posted by kap danny | May 9, 2013, 4:01 pmVote wisely for this coming election. Pilyen tayo ni Mayor JR ta gamin haan nga napersonal. Ni kapitana Kitang ket haan na panpanunuten nga maysa isuna nga Public Figure agsao latta ti kayat na nga sawen uray kaadwan ti tao. Nakarkarron to ngatan no isuda pay ti agturay iti ili ti dolores
Posted by BOSESTIDOLORENIANS | May 9, 2013, 7:37 amLapit na eleksiyon, ilan tulogan na lang. Addu ti vote 4 sale ngem awan bargain. Highest bidder will prevail kano. May the best political strategies and good flatform wins….este with the 3 G’s pala!
