Fiesta in Dumanjug, home of great governors & contractors

The town of my late father, Dumanjug, is the most progressive town in the 7th District. It is the home of three governors and two fantastic contractors. Today and tomorrow, the Dumanjuganons celebrate the solemnity of the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi led by Mayor Gungun Gica and Vice Mayor Wado Gica. Shoutout to my relatives especially the great clan of the Quirantes, especially engineers Alan and Jonathan.

Dumanjug is the home of Cebu's fourth governor, Dionisio Jakosalem, born on December 24, 1859 and who served as governor from 1907 to 1912 and became a Cabinet member thereafter. The twenty-fourth governor was Pablo Garcia who served from 1995 to 2004. The twenty-fifth and the twenty-seventh was Gwendolyn Garcia who served first from 2004 to 2012. She was elected and served again from 2019 to 2025.

Dumanjug is also the home of Engr. Alan Quirante who has become famous these last few weeks because, by his amazing entrepreneurial prowess and effective connections, he transformed a small single proprietorship into a multi-million conglomerate which has been able to win many public biddings and amass billions worth of public works, including a number of flood-control projects. His nephew also put up Quirante Construction Corp., under his tutelage and mentorship and this company was able to get many multi-million government projects, including Lapu-Lapu where the former mayor and now congressman, Ahong Chan, is also related by blood to the Quirantes.
