Public Service by the Alangalang Outstanding Achievers Foundation Inc. Two years after his election as municipal councilor he
decided to settle down with his long-time fiancée Blesilda Misagal. After 11 years of marriage, they are blessed with four beautiful
children - - - Loricelle-12; Lovelle Anne-11; Loraine-9 and Lorlie Ronces Marie-6.
In 1995, a new victory was added to his roster of achievements when he was elected Municipal Mayor of Alangalang, Leyte.
It was not an easy victory for him since his political opponent was well-endowed with resources and Loreto merely relied on the
support of those who believed in his leadership and what he can offer: his sincerity, dedication, incorruptible governance.
Despite his hectic schedule as a Municipal Mayor, he was able to finish his Master's Degree in Executive Government
Management. In numerous occasions, Loreto acted as Guest Speaker and Resource Person in Leadership Forum.
As a second termer town executive, he has catapulted the municipality to victory in different areas of concern. Among
which are the 2000 Sentrong Sigla Award, the highest achievement in the delivery of quality health services. The municipality
has also been cited for its outstanding contribution to various Department of Education projects and activities, and the first
municipality to adopt the Strategic Agriculture and Fisheries Development Zone (SAFDZ) and the Participatory Barangay
Development Planning.
In his third term as Municipal Mayor, he continued to serve his constituents with the same zeal and dedication. Despite the
meager resources of the municipality, he resolved to implement the much desired water system project. Because of his ability to
lead and excellence in project management, Loreto was appointed as Provincial Agriculturist where he introduced techno
farming in Leyte. However after his term, he decided to go back to Alang-alang, where he is currently serving his fourth term as
municipal mayor.
In whatever capacity Loreto has handled, he always did it with extreme sincerity and dedication, thus, all his undertakings
always turn out to be big successes. Indeed, Mayor Loreto T. Yu is a picture of a pro-active, dynamic and visionary leader.
Alang-alang is very proud to have native son so dedicated to its growth and prosperity.
