Right after the final session of the 16th Provincial Board at the Capitol Social Hall yesterday, the plaque was personally handed over to Garcia in her office by outgoing Vice Governor Hilario Davide III, who led the board in expressing its collective gratitude to Garcia’s contributions throughout her term.

The plaque praised Garcia for her “sterling and inspiring leadership” that elevated Cebu to “unprecedented heights”, eventually earning its recognition as the top-performing province in the Philippines.

“For her unwavering love and dedication to the people of Cebu, her tireless efforts in advancing the welfare of every Cebuano, and her visionary stewardship that has fostered unity, growth, and pride among our people, we express our heartfelt appreciation and deep admiration,” the citation read.
