Natividad, Apopong’s new Punong Barangay

It’s a brand new day for Barangay Apopong politics with Honorable Jose paulo Jude Natividad as its new Punong Barangay. Finishing his first term as Barangay Kagawad, he won over two other candidates for Punong Barangay. One of whom is the incumbent Punong Barangay Rabanes. It is not a first time for Apopong to have a young head of the Barangay. Sarangani Congressman Rogelio D. Pacquiao, then Barangay Apopong Punong Barangay was in his early 30’s when he led Apopong. So it is no longer new for the constituents of Apopong to have a young, dynamic and active leader.
