Reden Halili: Family man, public servant

A contractor. A loving father. A public servant.
Redentor "Reden" S. Halili hails from San Nicolas City of San Fernando where he also finished his elementary years. He spent his high school at the Jose Abad Santos High School and went through college at the Holy Angel University in Angeles City and earned a bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering in 1984.
After school, he became the supervising engineer of P.A. Baluyut builders until 1987. From l987-89 he was the Project Engineer of Megapolis Construction and at the A.R.G. Construction in 1989-1992. With his expertise in his profession, he was able to put up his own company, R.S.H. Construction.
His wife, Yolibeth Reyes Halili, is very supportive of all his endeavours and so are his children, namely: Sheena Yvette (also known as Sheena Halili in mainstream show-business), Mark Hariden, and Redentor Jr. In 2004 he landed as one of the city's admired and respected councilors.
Small but with a terribly big heart, Reden has a lot of achievements. In 1993’s Oplan Sagip Buhay, he was awarded the Outstanding Service Award by DZRH; P.I.C.E. Outstanding Service Award,1998; Christ In You Ministries, Recognition Award in 1999; SLRCSS’ “Natatanging Mag-anak” in 1999; PICE Committee Chairman PICE National Mid-Year Convention, also in 1999; PICE Leadership Award, in 2000; PICE Outstanding Service Award, in 2000; PICE Chairman, Regional Conference in 2001; PICE Outstanding Service award, in 2002; was part of the DILG 3rd Placer Outstanding Sanggunian National level in 2007 and DILG Local legislative Awardee, Outstanding sanggunian Regional level, also in 2007.
Undoubtedly, with all of Reden's accomplishments he became one of the City of San Fernando's working councilors. Not to mention his legislative achievements and seminars attended, the good councilor has more hopes and aspirations to reach solely for the improvement of his being a true-blooded Fernandino.
