The Municipality of Bokod, Benguet, led by Mayor Atty. Erik Donn Ignacio, is exploring a potential Twin Municipality Partnership with the Municipality of Santa Rita, Pampanga, headed by Mayor Reynan S. Calo.

As part of an exploratory mission, Mayor Ignacio, together with the vice mayor and members of the Sangguniang Bayan, visited Santa Rita to discuss opportunities for stronger collaboration between the two local government units.

During the meeting, the two mayors exchanged ideas on promoting local products, enhancing tourism development, and sharing best practices in governance. They also highlighted the similarities between their municipalities, particularly in terms of population, key industries, and their strong agricultural sectors.

The proposed partnership aims to strengthen inter-LGU cooperation and create mutually beneficial programs that will support the growth and development of both communities.
