He added that the members of 13th Iloilo SP are all 'performance-oriented' and proof to this is 2nd District Board Member June Mondejar who has 'zero-backlog' in his committee reports.

On the other hand, 3rd District Board Member Matt Palabrica is thankful of being part of proficient and performing members of 13th Iloilo SP who are able servants of the people.

"I am very thankful to the cooperation of the Board Members and to the leadership of Vice Governor Christine "Tingting" Garin. Although we have a different beliefs, principles, and leadership styles, we still managed to perform because we respect the uniqueness of each other," said Palabrica.

He considers the current Provincial Board as 'active, responsive and people in action.' He is also grateful that their responsiveness alleviate the burden brought by covid-19 pandemic.  

With regards to their relationships, he said that in the scale of 1 to 10, of which 10 is the highest, he gives a grade of 9 to the board members. Inside or outside the session hall, they have a good relationships. In the midst of political differences, being a gentleman or a gentle lady is shown with each other.

The shortcomings of a member are compensated by the other members. They are making extra efforts to each other when someone is celebrating a birthday by sending cakes to a fellow board members.

"For the past two Christmas celebrations, we held a Christmas party attended by all members of 13th Iloilo SP," Palabrica said.
