CEBU Gov. Gwendolyn Garcia last night rebuffed talk that she will run for a higher office in the 2010 elections, saying she would rather focus on challenges here.
She also kept up a running theme in her annual State of the Province Address since 2005, that of Cebu Province being debt-free. After posting P17 billion in assets in 2007, the province is “the strongest” it has ever been, the second-term governor added.
“We are now, without any doubt, the richest province in the country, not just in the present, but at any given time in this country’s history,” Garcia told local officials, business leaders and other guests at the Capitol Social Hall.
