ISLAND GARDEN CITY OF SAMAL (October 29) – The Island Garden City of Samal (IGACOS) has unveiled its 2025–2028 Executive-Legislative Agenda (ELA), a unified development roadmap dubbed “SMILE SAMAL” that aims to build a livable, resilient, and dynamic island city.

Mayor Lemuel Reyes said the ELA reflects unity and shared purpose between the city’s executive and legislative branches. “The ELA symbolizes our unity, respect, and trust. Without cooperation, we cannot succeed,” he said.
