Governor Pam's measure of leadership

Leadership is most clearly revealed in times of crisis.

Cebu Governor Pam Baricuatro demonstrated this when she chose to cut short her official travel to China after learning that Typhoon Basyang was forecast to hit Cebu. Despite the importance of her overseas official appointment, she made a decisive choice: to return home and be on duty with her constituents.

Baricuatro wrote, "Cebu, I'm coming home." She explained, "After a successful first day in Fujian, China, marked by meaningful engagements and strengthened partnerships. I am cutting my official overseas mission short to return Cebu."

She anticipated that by the time the typhoon hit Cebu around Thursday, January 5, or Friday, January 6, she would already be with her constituents. She immediately arranged a flight back to Cebu and said, "See you in a few hours, Cebu."
