Description:

His decades of dedicated public service and steadfast leadership have left an enduring legacy in the province and beyond.
PPMC, led by its OIC Chairman, Hon. Nicky A. Oller, and OIC President & CEO, Hon. Servillano C. Flores, Jr., joins the people of La Union in honoring his life, contributions, and unwavering commitment to the community. The Resolution of Condolence was received by his wife, Hon. Geraldine “Denny” Ortega, and son, Sir Manuel Victor “Mannix” R. Ortega.
May his family find strength and comfort during this difficult time.
The Poro Point Freeport Zone used to house the former Wallace Air Station. The enactment of Republic Act 7227 (Bases Conversion and Development Act) on March 19, 1992 and Proclamation No. 216 on July 27, 1993 effectively transferred the stewardship of the Freeport to the Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) to facilitate its conversion into a productive economic growth center.
