Local Roundup | October 2025 (OGP Feature – Mayor Benjamin B. Magalong of Baguio City)

Benjamin B. Magalong, Mayor of Baguio (Philippines)
“Opening our doors to citizen participation does not diminish our authority; rather, it strengthens our legitimacy. And it accelerates progress through the power of collective wisdom. The future of open government will be written in cities and communities where citizens wake up trusting that their voices matter and are heard.”
