________The newfound City of Candon faces a tough challenge to prove its worth after becoming the  next city to the province of Ilocos Sur. It is a challenge in that as much as how enthusiastic  the  people voted for its conversion; the same proud Candonians expect only the best changes  and development in the most expeditious manner.

________Looking at a tight 3-year critical window to effect the needed  changes in so far as growth  and development becomes evident and  satisfy the public's expectations, areas of change  should now be  identified, planned on and changed as soon as possible. The new City  Administration should be decisive, focused and willful in promoting   the essential changes  and should also evaluate itself in the process  in order to set safeguards just in case some other sectors might get  adversely affected as a consequence.
