Bridge to be named after late kapitan

By November 17, 2013Inside News, News

LINGAYEN–The bridge connecting the towns of Lingayen and Labrador, currently known as Sabangan Bridge, will be renamed in honor of Hector Fabiana, the youngest elected barangay chairman of Sabangan who also died young.

“The naming of the bridge is one way of honoring the late Hector Navarro Fabiana who was elected as the youngest barangay captain of Barangay Sabangan at the age of 18, and continuously served his community with dedication until his death at the age of 44,” said Board Member Nestor Reyes in the resolution he authored.

The Sangguniang Panlalawigan approved the resolution in its regular session last week.

The late Fabiana was instrumental in pushing for the construction of a concrete bridge between the two towns to replace the dilapidated wooden bridge through the assistance of Gov. Amado T. Espino, Jr.

Reyes said renaming the bridge gives recognition to the importance of barangay officials as well as gives a lift to the spirit of the community. (PIO)
