“This victory is not just mine; it is a victory for every resident of Baguio who believes in honest governance, inclusive leadership, and a vision for a better, more progressive city. Thank you for your trust, courage, and love for our city. Now that the noise of the election has subsided, it is time for us to turn our energies towards reconciliation, unity, and shared goals. Let’s put aside the bickering. Let us rise above division and instead focus on working together, supporting the leaders chosen by the people, and continuing the journey of sustainable development for our beloved Baguio,” Magalong said.
