Honoring a Legacy of Leadership in Education and Public Service
With profound sorrow, the Department of Education – Schools Division Office of Quirino joins the Province of Quirino in mourning the passing of Hon. Dakila Carlo E. Cua, Governor of the Province of Quirino.
For the education sector, his passing is deeply felt—not only as the loss of a public servant, but of a leader whose work and support helped shape opportunities for our learners, teachers, and schools.
His leadership reminded us that education is a shared responsibility. Through meaningful collaboration with DepEd and other education stakeholders, his administration contributed to an environment where schools could continue to pursue better learning opportunities and where the welfare and development of learners remained an important part of public service. The province currently has 186 schools, reflecting the breadth of the education community he served alongside.
Beyond programs, projects, and accomplishments, what remains is the impact of leadership that reaches people—the learner given an opportunity, the teacher empowered to serve, the school strengthened to provide a better learning environment, and the community inspired to believe in the power of education.
Governor Dakila Carlo E. Cua leaves behind a legacy that will continue to live in the stories of the people he served and in the aspirations of the young generation of Quirino.
As we grieve his passing, we remember his service with honor, gratitude, and deep respect.
Maraming salamat, Gov. Dakila, for your service to Quirino and for standing with our education community. May your legacy of public service continue to inspire us to serve with the same dedication and love for our people.
Sa alaala, mananatiling DAKILA.
Our deepest condolences to his family, loved ones, colleagues, and the entire people of Quirino.
May his soul rest in eternal peace.
