THE San Carlos City Government on Tuesday commemorated the 56th birthday of late mayor Julian Resuello by launching and opening to the public the exhibit of his memorabilia and photos displayed at the office he once occupied.
Mayor Julier Resuello and his younger brother Vice Mayor Joseres Resuello led the program at City Hall’s Bulwagan where they paid tribute to their father’s accomplishments from the time he was in the private sector until he became mayor.
A mass was held in the morning followed by the offering of flowers on Julian’s tomb at the Holy Garden Memorial Park. In the afternoon, Mayor Resuello distributed Philhealth (Philippine Health Insurance Corporation) cards to 973 indigent recipients.
“Part of the plan is to schedule visits here by the students in San Carlos to make them aware of what the late mayor has done to transform the city into what it is now. We also want them to be inspired by his love and dedication for the city,” Mayor Resuello said.
He said the memorabilia exhibit starts the transformation of Bulwagan (which is being used as a conference/meeting hall) into a museum. All the artifacts and other displays in the museum will be transferred to Bulwagan.
“We have saved a lot of artifacts in the museum to remind us of what San Carlos was before and what it is now. We hope to finish the transfer of the museum here in August,” Julier said.
The Resuello patriarch was shot dead during the culmination of the city fiesta and coronation night of Miss San Carlos City 2007 on April 28 last year. He died while being treated at St. Luke’s Hospital.
One of the suspects in the killing, Angelito Soriano, was arrested. Another suspect, identified as Cesar de Guzman, remains at large.
Pangasinan Police Provincial Director Isagani Nerez said the case is partly solved with the arrest and filing of a murder case against Soriano and de Guzman.
He assured that they are doing their best to arrest de Guzman.
Police maintained that the motive behind the killing of Julian could be related to politics.
