According to the Provincial Government of La Union (PGLU), the Municipality of Bauang officially adopted the Workspace System on May 14, 2026, through a signed agreement. The platform is designed to centralize administrative operations, align local processes with civil service standards, and improve overall government efficiency.
The signing ceremony took place at the Provincial Capitol Building in the City of San Fernando, attended by Governor Mario Eduardo C. Ortega, Vice Governor Eric O. Sibuma, Bauang Mayor Ma. Clarissa T. Lee, Bauang Vice Mayor Tanya Roberta A. De Guzman, and Provincial Administrator Ramon B. Torres. This digital tool was developed by the Provincial Information and Communications Technology Office and the Provincial Human Resource Management and Development Office.
By implementing this system, the local government of Bauang aims to simplify human resources transactions and move toward a more digital-based operation. The platform serves as a centralized hub for administrative tasks, replacing manual processes with a unified digital interface.
Governor Ortega stated that the initiative promotes the sharing of effective government practices across the province. Mayor Lee noted that the transition is expected to increase transparency and accountability within the municipal government’s daily functions.
The PGLU continues to offer technical support to municipalities across La Union as part of its ongoing effort to modernize local government services. This partnership marks a shift toward standardized digital infrastructure for towns throughout the province.
