Honoring the Leadership of Former Lingayen Mayor Leopoldo N. Bataoil

The municipality of Lingayen, Pangasinan, flourished under the dedicated leadership of former Mayor Leopoldo N. Bataoil, who served from 2022 to 2025. A distinguished public servant, Bataoil brought his extensive experience as a Philippine National Police (PNP) General and former Congressman to local governance, leaving a lasting legacy of progress and community empowerment.

During his term, Mayor Bataoil prioritized infrastructure development, improving road networks, drainage systems, and public facilities to enhance mobility and resilience against natural disasters. His administration also focused on tourism promotion, revitalizing Lingayen’s iconic attractions such as the Lingayen Gulf, Capitol Complex, and Veterans Memorial Park to boost local tourism and economic growth.

A strong advocate for social welfare, Bataoil implemented programs supporting education, healthcare, and livelihood opportunities for Lingayen’s residents. His leadership was marked by transparency and accessibility, ensuring that governance remained inclusive and responsive to the needs of the people.

Beyond infrastructure and social services, Bataoil’s commitment to disaster preparedness and peace and order—rooted in his PNP background—strengthened the town’s safety and security. His hands-on leadership during crises earned him the trust and gratitude of the community.

Though his term has concluded, Mayor Bataoil’s contributions continue to benefit Lingayen, setting a strong foundation for future progress. His legacy of service, integrity, and visionary leadership remains an inspiration for both current leaders and the next generation.
