A long-serving barangay captain of Ususan, Taguig has been sworn in as the new president of the Association of Barangay Captains (ABC) in the city.
Marilyn Marcelino took her oath before Mayor Lani Cayetano, with newly elected barangay captains Michael Arcilla of Pembo, Allan Cruz of Rizal, Lysandre Vertulfo of Fort Bonifacio, and Ricardo Jordan of North Signal in attendance.
Also present were Vice Mayor Arvin Alit, Representatives Ricardo Cruz Jr. and Jorge Daniel Bocobo, Interior Director Gemma Demdam Dancil, and Barangay Affairs Office head Evelyn Tan Arago. Cayetano expressed confidence in the city’s new grassroots leaders and voiced support for their initiatives.
Marcelino previously served as the League’s vice president and treasurer. She is currently on her third term as barangay captain of Ususan, having won two consecutive elections unopposed.
Dubbed the “Wonder Kap,” Marcelino has received numerous accolades for initiatives such as Ususan’s barangay-run food bank, secondary blood chemistry lab, and modern emergency response services. As ABC president, she pledged to bring her grassroots-driven approach to the city council and help advance Taguig’s development goals.
