On Kalinga Governor-Elect Floydelia Diasen
As we usually do in this blog, we are putting some of your comments here in the main page because we believe that they deserve to be read by more people. These comments are about the new governor of Kalinga. Thanks Queen Esther and TruBlue!
From Queen Esther:
Let’s give Dr. Floydelia Diasen a chance to lead as Governor of Kalinga. She is a true blue e-kalinga, her mother being a pure blooded original. The “sympathy votes” as we call it that installed her to governorship is her chance to do public service to the whole Kalinga province. She is already honed for this kind of leadership. Being a nurse, an educator, a mayor’s wife for 9 years and vice-governor’s wife for 3 years, she did a lot of public service to the Kalingas, doing medical/dental/health/family planning outreaches to far-flung barangays.
I’ve been with her in several of these endeavors, so I really know her personally. She is a quick thinker, has very good judgment and an excellent decision -maker. As a politician’s wife, she has stood alongside the late Vice Governor Rommel Diasen influencing him for good and guiding him in his leadership. As a teacher, she has trained/influenced a lot of college students to achieve their dreams. As a mother, she has extended her motherly love by adopting 2 more kids in spite of her own 6 kids. She finished her doctorate on Public Administration, and she came from a family of people involved in public service for 2 generations.
