The gesture, made through an official letter, reflects the municipality’s support for the new administration and highlights hopes for strengthened unity and progress in the province.

In his letter, Mayor Cuaresma commended Governor Gambito’s leadership and commitment to public service, citing the governor’s guiding principle of “Gayyem It Umili,” which emphasizes serving the community with humility and dedication.

As public servants, it is our responsibility to put the welfare of our people above all else. I look forward to working closely with all local leaders to ensure that Nueva Vizcaya continues to move forward and that every Vizcayano feels the positive impact of our collective efforts,” Gambito said.

Governor Gambito has always been a strong advocate of unity, believing that bringing together the province’s leaders and communities is essential to achieving meaningful and lasting progress for Nueva Vizcaya. /RMI
