Apart from this, the mayor said he was able to negotiate with Hangzhou officials the possibility of sending medical practitioners to train and learn the latest techniques on acupuncture for adoption at the city health and services office.

In Vaughan, Baguio’s sister city in Ontario, Canada, the delegation attended the 20th anniversary program and activities of twinning of the two cities from Oct. 24-29 spearheaded by the Filipino-Canadian Association of Vaughan under Erlinda Insigne.

The mayor said they exchanged updates with the Vaughan city officials led by Mayor Maurizio Bevilacqua on the current state of affairs of Baguio and Vaughan with the local delegation being apprised of the advances in Vaughan’s innovative pursuits.
They were also able to have fellowship with the BIBAK-Toronto chapter members where the mayor had the opportunity to talk about updates on issues such as autonomy and federalism.

In Vallejo, the mayor said they participated in the finalization of the plans for the 25th anniversary celebration of the sisterhood in 2018 with the Vallejo Sister Cities Association Inc. and Vallejo-Baguio Sister Cities Committee chaired by Dinah Villanueva-Ryan.

The mayor said there is a possibility that the twinning anniversary celebration will be held in Baguio with the attendance of Vallejo mayor Bob Sampayan, its first Filipino mayor who hails from Binalonan, Pangasinan and former mayor Anthony Intintoli, the mayor at the time the sisterhood was established.

He said the delegation was able to work out the donation of 70 computers to the city’s schools and explored the possibility of a student exchange program.

The mayor arrived from the tour last Nov. 8. – Aileen P. Refuerzo
