The Sambali2007 marks its 19th year in the making. Compared to last-year's affair, this Barangay Nite seems a new beginning of a new era for Piateņos. Most barangay chairmen cooperated wholeheartedly to the call of their ABC president, Hon. Claro Camillo who, himself felt elated with the attendance of 18-barangay chairmen and officials.

     Cheerfully, present in the nite were the newly elected-members of the Sangguniang Bayan 2007-2010, led by the workaholic Vice-Mayor elect Atty. Carmelo (Black) Villacete. The Sagguniang Bayan-Members, who are present: - Hon. Arthur Sadul; Hon. Tito Bingayan; Hon. Rovy Casibang; Hon. Lumen Asunto; Hon. David Sto. Tomas, Jr.; Hon. Marissa A. Gonzales and Hon. Eric Cabacungan, and Hon. Cathy A. Agustin who was just recuperated from flu.

     Wandering about the former Manila's Finest, turned undefeated 3-term Mayor, Hon. Ruben Casibang seemed to absent himself, however. The most striking personality to grace the occassion was the outgoing Vice-Mayor, in the person of, no other than the Honorable Ruben Q. Taguba. In his address, he seemed not to regret his three-year term as Vice-Mayor. For the fact that he was not that popular to the Piateņos, even he is the vice-mayor, he stressed that due to his situations, he cannot combine politics and business. Though always there with a helping hand, the vice-mayor promised that even without him in the LGU, he's still a Piateņo, and he loves Piat and the people of Piat.

     In his pruntu address also, the Vice-Mayor elect Atty. Villacete, he praised the magnificient crowd and promised them to be of their legal-adviser for all time, seven-days a week and twenty-four hours a day. He stressed that with the unity, as he sees the crowd with a glowing hope, the Town of Piat will be moving toward development, as a community.
