If not in attendance during Sunday masses and uncommitted
with other church-related activities, Mayor Susan’s family’s implacably paying
pilgrimage to the Manaoag Shrine of Our Lady of Manaoag.

graces and inspiration to strengthen her moral resolve in meeting or facing the
challenges of leadership.
