Palayan City mayor shares leadership journey with Boy Abunda
How far does a public servant go in leading and serving her constituents?
For Palayan City Mayor Rianne Cuevas, going beyond what’s required is what leadership is all about.
Tonight, The Boy Abunda Interview Specials will delve more into the story of the leader of Palayan. As the city celebrates its 55th founding anniversary, Mayor Rianne looks back on the days when Palayanos enjoyed the week full of fun and exciting events — from a motocross competition, job fairs to a disaster preparedness contest and variety shows.
This year, in the middle of a pandemic, the mayor and Palayanos will still celebrate the founding anniversary in a much simpler way, but just as meaningful and heartfelt.
The interview will also tackle the proactive response of Mayor Rianne to COVID-19, the typhoons that hit the country and other challenges. Programs like relief operations, housing projects, disaster preparedness, medical assistance programs and job opportunities will also be discussed.
But governing people is not always easy. How does Mayor Rianne deal with her critics? How is she able to withstand the chaotic side of politics?
Catch Palayan Mayor Rianne as she shares her story tonight at 9:30 on ANC while the second part of the interview will air on Dec. 12.
