CABARROGUIS, Quirino, Dec. 16 (PIA) -- Congressman Dakila Carlo Enriquez Cua of the lone district of Quirino province was re-elected as a member of the Board of Governors of the Philippine Red Cross during the recently concluded 29th Biennial National Convention at the Manila Hotel on December 7. | |||

Prior to his election in 2007, Cua has been committing his time, knowledge and skills to the PRC Quirino, supporting all its programs and projects especially on youth development, disaster management, volunteer development, chapter capability building, primary health care and safety as well as blood services. | |||
Among his contributions to the Red Cross include the allocation of P1 million for the chapter building improvement, donation of P1 million for the PRC projects and 132 first aid kits with contents to schools with trained Red Cross Youth volunteers on first aid. | |||

Provincial tourism Officer Aurea V. Martinez said the Firetree aka Bagbag tree also reminds the Quirinians of the folk story that when the said tree bears flowers, the Bugkalot tribes who were then living in the province, come out and cut heads.
