12 Mayor Maria Ester Hamor of Sorsogon City

Considered the gateway to southern Philippines, Sorsogon City plays an important role in connecting Luzon to the Visayas and Mindanao provinces. Led by Mayor Maria Ester Hamor, the city received one of the biggest Build, Build, Build projects in the Bicol Region with the opening of the Sorsogon City Coastal Road last year.

Under Mayor Hamor’s leadership, the city acquired new heavy equipment, some of which would improve facilities in the Buenavista dumpsite. Under the “Merkado Ko, Orgulyo Ko” campaign, the mayor upgraded the city’s public markets.

The local government also opened a district satellite office in Bacon that provides administrative services relating to Civil Registry, the Treasury, City Social

Welfare and Development Office, Agriculture, and the Assessor’s Office.

As she follows the blueprint of the “Ten Plus One Agenda,” Mayor Hamor continues to provide more services and facilities to her constituents, with Sorsogon City on track to become bigger and better in the years ahead.
