SUPERBRAND OF LEADERSHIP

The home of Southeast Asia’s biggest hydroelectric dam, biggest grains processing facility, biggest lounge chair, site of
forestlands with one of the highest biodiversities in the world, the province of Isabela is a land of superlatives. It is also a province that
does not seem likely to rest on its feats. It is poised to become the country’s next major tourism and business zone, with Governor
Dy’s aggressive pursuit of sound agriculture and pro-people and environment policies, plus a program to develop Isabela’s coastal
region into a self-sustaining recreational and hospitality region.
The Governor’s performance in local governance may be likened to achieving a tough balancing act; a healthy balance between
visible and tangible physical reforms that the public can appreciate, and a high level of internal fitness that impresses upon government
auditors a sensible resource management. It is a balance between the sustainability of his initiatives and the needs of his constituents;
and between Isabela’s abundant economy and future, and the health of its natural environment.
More than just a work ethic, this concern for balance is a mission for the Governor, encouraged by decades of immersion in
public service, and nourished by lessons he learned along the way. Isabeleños can sleep tight, assured that there will only be brighter
chapters ahead in Isabela’s history, under Governor Dy’s brand of leadership.**
