                    [Summary] => BAYOMBONG, Nueva Vizcaya — "I’m still the governor." 


Thus declared Gov. Luisa Lloren-Cuaresma yesterday, dispelling rumors that an officer-in-charge would be taking over her post pending the results of the ongoing recount of votes in the May 10 gubernatorial race.

"Due to the election protest filed against me with the Comelec (Commission on Elections), somebody else would be taking over the (helm of the) province. This is farthest from the truth," said the first-term governor.

In its Memorandum Order dated July 14, the poll body’s First Division ordered the start of the revisions and recounting of the ballots today to determine who between former vice governor Luisa Cuaresma (LDP-Independent) and former board member Leonardo Perez Jr. (NPC-KNP) will be proclaimed as the duly elected governor.

But Maria Luisa Lloren-Cuaresma also lived an equally interesting real-life drama leading to her ascension to this province’s top post.

From a plain housewife, the 50-year-old Cuaresma took the helm of the provincial leadership on June 30, making her the fifth woman to assume the governorship of this northeastern Cagayan Valley province.
