Wekwek Uy, a compassionate and dedicated leader known for his service to the community, attended a special meeting with the Empowerment and Reaffirmation of Paternal Abilities (ERPAT) organization, members of the religious sector, and vendors to express his unwavering support and concern for their activities and needs. The meeting served as a platform for discussing the challenges faced by each sector, particularly the livelihood issues of vendors, the spiritual guidance offered by the religious community, and the crucial role of fathers in strengthening families through ERPAT’s initiatives.

In his remarks, Uy acknowledged the importance of collaboration across different sectors in Iligan City. He emphasized that the combined efforts of the religious sector, fathers through ERPAT, and local vendors are vital to the growth and development of the community. He stated, "I have learned that the diverse sectors of our community are all essential in shaping the future of Iligan. The support for these sectors helps ensure stability as we work towards improving our living standards and providing better opportunities for everyone."

Uy’s words resonated with the attendees, as they recognized his genuine interest in addressing their specific concerns and finding sustainable solutions for their respective challenges.
