Destined to be a leader, the 29-year-old Governor of the Province of Quirino assumed office on July 1, 2007 armed with the dedication and commitment to serve with transparency and sincerity. Born from a family of politicians, his father Junie E. Cua is the incumbent Congressman of the Lone District of Quirino, and her mother, Ma. Angela E. Cua is a former congresswoman.

Trained and molded during his two terms as vice governor, this young chief executive had introduced numerous programs, activities and innovations aimed at cultivating the innate desire of the youth to participate in the development of the province. Believing that “the youths are the hope of the Fatherland” as envisioned by his ancestor, Dr. Jose P. Rizal, Governor Dakila Carlo “Dax” Cua championed the welfare and future of the youth of Quirino. He founded the movement for the Integrated Development of the Youth (MIDY) aimed at developing the holistic well-being of the youth. Leadership trainings, academic contests, Youth In Sync, Vice Governor’s Cup and the recently launched “Iyong Serbisyo, Sagot sa Edukasyon Mo” (ISSEM) scholarship project were among his regular programs.

He regularly conducted outreach medical missions to the barangays giving free health services and medicines, thereby improving the health conditions of the constituents. This young man is also supportive of non-government organizations and civic organizations whereby human resource and livelihood development of the province is their primordial concern.

Due to his sterling leadership, he was granted the following awards: Gawad KKK Outstanding Youth of the Philippines and Gawad Parangal ng Bayan’s Most Outstanding Vice Governor of the Philippines. He also closely worked with the sanggunian secretaries of the province in coming up with a training design solely for local legislative employees. Recently, he was elected as Regional Chairman for the Cagayan Valley Region of the League of Provinces of the Philippines and a member of the National Executive Board.

With his laudable contributions to the province, surely, being in the gubernatorial seat would mean more innovative programs and projects geared at developing the province, and more so with his vibrant style of leadership, will surely redound to the improvement of the quality of life of his constituents.
