Pelaez. BM Emano also briefly reminisced the moments during their campaign.

Words of appreciation for the trust bestowed were expressed by BM Emano to Vice Gov. Pelaez. She also extended thankfulness to Gov. Peter “Sr. Pedro” M. Unabia for the opportunity though she is, as she said, “sa lain koral (in a different fence).”
