On the same occasion, Dominador P. Corpin, Board Member-elect representing the Second District of Biliran province also took his oath of office.

Vice-Governor-elect of the province Manuel B. Montejo, Jr., who is a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) and a lawyer by profession, in his brief message delivered before the newly-elected officials, urged them to work hard and forget politics since they are called upon to serve the people.
“This requires a lot of sacrifice and personal hardship”, he said.
He also urged the newly elected officials to work for promising avenues for the development of the province that could open a lot of opportunities to the Biliranons like the pro-poor programs of the Department of Agriculture (DA) and the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) where he admitted he has personal contacts of these agencies at the national level.

I hope all the current Pilipino councilors of Caibiran, Biliran will make it again this coming local election. I share with the current Vice Governor in forgetting politics after election and hail all wounds thereof and further integrate all the losers into the mainstream of rapid improving the municipality of Caibiran including all its barangays whatever contribution they may have of any kind. Caibiran is a 5th class municipality and must be elevated to at least 2nd class through the collaborative effort of all current local officials. God Bless us all.
