“Salamat sa inyo tanan for doing the job of taking care of the province,” this was what Governor Arthur Defensor, Jr. said to the 94 Iloilo provincial government employees who have been in service for 30 years or more.
The employees received tokens during the Pasidungog 2024 in line with the 123rd Semana sang Iloilo celebration.
“You have made the Iloilo Provincial Capitol your universe… your life is here, you live here. We elected officials are just temporary here, in a while I will move on to another chapter, but I will leave you here to continue doing the job of taking care of the province,” Defensor quipped.
“On behalf of the people of the province of Iloilo, I would like to thank you for making the work for the welfare of our people your universe,” the governor added.
The event was also attended by the department heads and guests from the Civil Service Commission (CSC).
