Newly elected city council members assume office, vow stronger ties with executive
This year's midterm elections mark a fresh start for the newly elected members of the local legislative body, now officially known as the 6th Sangguniang Panlungsod of the City of Naga, Cebu.
The emergence of the new City Council, the city's sixth composition since the then Municipality of Naga became a component city in 2007 by virtue of Republic Act 9491 (the City Charter), similarly put an end to the life of the 5th SP by operation of law.
Hence, the distinguished SP members, headed by reelected Vice Mayor Virgilio "Jing-jing" M. Chiong, formally assumed office during the inaugural session at noon of June 30, 2025, with a renewed commitment to uphold the needs and aspirations of the Nagahanons.
Vice Mayor Chiong, who ran unopposed in his second term, expressed his sincerest gratitude to the townspeople of Naga for the overwhelming support that resulted in the dominance of Mayor Valdemar M. Chiong-led Team Padayon Naga bets in the May 12, 2025 polls.
"I deem it appropriate to express our sincere thanks and appreciation to all of you for the overwhelming support that you have extended to us in the May 12 elections, wherein all the candidates of your Team Padayon Naga have been given a fresh mandate to serve for a new term," said the Vice Mayor in his inaugural address.
The team's councilorial slate, composed of seven reelectionists and three neophytes, dominated the 10-seat City Council with second-termer City Councilor Clint Isidro A. Chiong clinching the highest spot with 45,849 votes.

Legacy of the 5th Sangguniang Panlungsod
Although the life of the 5th SP had already ended, the vice mayor expressed pleasure that all the enacted legislative measures for the past three years have been instrumental in the improvement of the city's economy, education, health and environmental programs, disaster and emergency response, sustainable livelihood for the marginalized sectors and maintenance of public order and safety.
In sum, the enacted ordinances boost Naga's status as Industrial Hub of Cebu South and investment-friendly city that creates more job opportunities, provides livelihood and improves the lives of every Nagahanon family.
Records show that the 5th City Council enacted a total of sixty-four (64) remarkable ordinances and passed two thousand one hundred nineteen (2,119) resolutions from June 30, 2022 to June 30, 2025, which are enumerated below with their corresponding titles and status.
