NORTH COTABATO – After nearly three months of medical recovery following a vehicular accident in Digos City, Mayor Juanito Agustin has returned to office in the municipality of Pigkawayan.

Governor Emmylou ‘Lala’ Taliño-Mendoza of Cotabato personally visited Mayor Agustin upon his return to his municipal office, along with other visiting mayors from different cities in North Cotabato, including Midsayap Mayor Rolly Sacdalan, Libungan Mayor Angel Rose Cuan, Aleosan Mayor Eduardo Cabaya, and Kabacan Mayor Gelyn Guzman.

Mayor Agustin’s return to office coincided with the celebration of Pigkawayan’s 70th Founding Anniversary and the 2nd Padayaw Festival in the municipality.

Recalling the incident from July 19, 2023, Mayor Agustin was involved in a vehicle collision after his car struck a center island on the National Highway in Brgy. Tres de Mayo, Digos City.

Currently, local government transactions in Pigkawayan, Cotabato, have returned to normal with the mayor back in office.
