According to the TOCP award citation, Hon. Sucaldito’s ‘remarkable achievements and sterling track record coupled with her talent, dedication, and sincere passion to serve the people of the City of Tacurong are clear indicators of her competence as a legislator and leader of impeccable integrity.’
“My accomplishments are products, not only of my own hard work, but of cooperation and unity of the officials, employees, and the people of Tacurong,” said Sucaldito. “I assure Tacurongnons that this recognition will benefit them through a project that will be funded through the P1.5 million cash incentive I received,” she added.
