THE

“BREAKTHROUGH”

GOVERNOR

FAUSTINO “Bojie” G. DY III

of the Province of Isabela

“ My Administration is committed to sustain our

unmatched agricultural prowess and status as a world-
class food/grain producer, readiness as a premier trade
and investment location, enthusiasm in preserving our
prized natural environment, recognized excellence
in good governance and service delivery, and our
distinction as a people content, happy, and enriched by
a culture rooted in nobility. ”
– Gov. Dy at the presentation of
Finalists for the Top Ten Business-Friendly LGUs

Governor Faustino “Bojie” G. Dy III’s rise to the leadership of the Province of Isabela was
the result of three decades of education in the realm of public service. This started in 1980,
the year he was voted Chairman of the Kabataang Barangay in Cauayan City’s District 1. The
immersion led to his election as Barangay Captain, the first elective position he held. Three years
after, he clinched the Mayoralty seat of Cauayan and went on to become the President of the
Isabela Chapter of the League of Municipalities of the Philippines.
Governor Dy cemented his place among the most trusted names in Isabela’s political
history when after three (3) consecutive terms in the House of Representatives, the people of
Isabela ensured his victory in the Gubernatorial polls in 2010. His impressive debut as an LGU
Chief Executive paved the path for an easy second term win in May of this year.
A province that is not only reputed as the Number 1 Corn and Rice Producer and Supplier but
also as a world-class agro-industrial and eco-tourism hub is Governor Dy’s aspiration for Isabela. His
immediate leadership goals are for ensuring and sustaining Isabela’s economic stability, ecological
balance, healthcare system, peace and order and security of the province, professionalization of
the government workforce, and the delivery of basic services.
