The City of Biñan has been at the receiving end of numerous awards and recognitions over the past few years thanks to the efforts of the city government led by Biñan City Mayor Walfredo “Arman” Dimaguila, Jr., Vice Mayor Angelo “Gel” Alonte and Biñan Rep. Marlyn “Len” Alonte-Naguiat. However, there is one award that tops it all and that is the 2022 Galing Pook Award.
Interior and Local Government Secretary Benhur Abalos, who was chairman of the Board of Judges of the Galing Pook Foundation, noted that as one of the “historically rich local government units in the country,” Biñan actively conserves and preserves its cultural identity through the Balik- Biñan Project.
“The project also helps build a solid identity for the community and an urge for the community to be truly proud of their roots and of the community where they belong, Abalos added. “In fact, the city’s histo-cultural attractions in the area have drawn thousands of visitors over the year. There has also been a marked increase in the number of registered businesses when we started the project,” he said.
