FELIPE BUNDANG URIETA
Municipal Vice-Mayor
1992-1195
1998-2001,
“Like father, like son.” This saying truly magnifies what Felipe B. Urieta became later in his life. Born July 7, 1949, he is the 5th child of Mayor Loreto Villiones Urieta and Presentacion Costa Bundang. Felipe, later known as Vice-Mayor “Philip” B. Urieta, served twice as town’s second-ranking elected official from 1992 to 1995 and in 1998 to 2001.
He also served as Sangguniang Bayan from 2013 to 2016 and 2016 to 2019. He finished his elementary education in Sablayan Central School in 1962 and graduated in Secondary level at Colegio de San Sebastian in year 1996. He took Bachelor of Science in Criminology at University of Manila.
He was employed at the Municipal Government of Sablayan in 1969 until 1972 and later became prison guard at Sablayan Prison and Penal Farm (SPPF) from 1974-1989. He then became Vice-Mayor in 1992 until 1995.
During his term, he created and approved Ordinances and Resolutions addressing the welfare of the general public such as the realignment of budget appropriated for different programs and projects of Local Government Unit, the amendments on the Municipal Tax Code and the creation of the Traffic Regulations in the town resulting of having a Land Transportation Office here in the Municipality.
A nature and livelihood advocate, he crafted an ordinance ensuring the proper waste management and protection of the aquatic resources, marine ecosystem entitled “An Ordinance establishing the Sablayan Marine Sanctuary Code” , “Regulation of Fishing or Fisheries in Sablayan” and “Enacting the Comprehensive Solid Waste Management”, to name a few.
Promoting the well-being of the people especially the marginal sectors of the community he then prompted legislation enacting the Botika ng Bayan and Burial Aid for bona fide members of Veterans and Senior Citizens of this municipality. VM Philip believes that putting goods and services for the people would ease their burden in facing the challenges of life.
During his term as Vice Mayor and a Sangguniang Bayan, he was able to pass 235 Ordinances and 573 Resolutions. These legislations ensure the full realization of the mandates as second-ranking elected official and a humble public servant. Vice-Mayor Felipe Urieta is man with Palabra de Honor and take everything whatever it cost for the good of his hometown and people.
Accordingly for him, a good leader must be big-hearted. He always tells his son Kristofferson, “We should inspire others to dream, learn and do more for a better welfare of our fellowmen.” Kristofferson or B**g, like his father, already now a councilman belonging to the fourth generation of public servants from the Urietas of Sablayan. Like father, like son, indeed.
