| Governor
Victor Arancillo Tanco hails from the town of Dumarao in the
Second Congressional District of Capiz and served as four-term
mayor for 18 years from 1980 to 1998.
Previous to this, he
was elected councilor in 1971 ranking number one, that to
date sums up 36 years of public service in Capiz. Educated
at the University of the Philippines in Diliman with a Bachelor
of Science degree in Public Administration, he is well heeled
in local government administration.
He is the 20th governor
since the Americans established, more than a century ago,
the civil government of Capiz on April 11, 1901. He ran unopposed
during the May 14, 2007 elections. He had served as vice governor
under then Governor Bermejo for nine years from 1998 to 2007.
In steering his province,
comprised of Roxas City and 16 municipalities, in the next
three years, Tanco’s experience as municipal mayor and
presiding officer of the Sangguniang Panlalawigan will be
put to good use. Very approachable with his trademark smile,
Governor Vic knows the needs of the towns of Capiz. “LABI
SA TANAN ANG TAWO”.
Governor Tanco is married
to the former Fatima Lademora with whom he has four children
namely: Victor, Jr., Faith, Vladimir and Hope.
