Cabarroguis, Quirino (6 July) — Newly-elected Quirino Congressman Dakila Carlo Enriquez Cua and Governor Junie Evangelista Cua led all elected provincial and municipal officials in mass oath taking ceremonies last June 29, 2010 at the Quirino Gymnasium here.

The congressman and the governor were sworn in by Executive Judge Menrado V. Corpuz of the Regional Trial Court (RTC) Branch 38 while Vice Governor May Garnace Calauanan, all the board members, municipal mayors and municipal councilors were sworn in by Gov. Cua.

Outgoing governor Dax Cua has reported that for the span of three years, his administration was able to build more than 80 big gymnasiums, 80 barangay offices, construct roads and pavements, distribute more than 100 multicabs to the barangays, as well as purchase two buses and heavy equipments for the province.

“For the span of three years, we have succeeded in helping the Quirinians in improving their life,” the younger Cua stressed.

“We have started our Quirino livelihood for Everyone (Q-LIFE) project and the Watershed Reforestation and Livelihood project and so along the properties, assets, achievements and the more than 1,000 strong men and women of the provincial capitol, I am also turning over my problems and my unfinished dreams to make Quirino a better place to Governor Junie Cua,” he added.

In his response, Gov. Junie Cua vowed to continue the vision of his son, Cong. Dax Cua. “We will strengthen the I Love Quirino project and make all Quirinians feel that they have leaders who are sensitive to their needs,” he assured.

“I remember three years ago, I was a witness to the turn over of leadership from Gov. Pedro L. Bacani to Gov. Dax Cua and never in my wildest dreams did I realize that, that day was the dawning of a new era for Quirino province, the beginning of true political unity,” the older Cua narrated.

The older Cua has expressed optimism that through the political unity, Quirino province will attain more development and progress. (PIA)
