Dr. Paul Martinez, executive director of RP Mission, said the results highlighted the exceptional leadership of Gov. Garcia, emphasizing her unparalleled commitment to hands-on governance.
He added that Gov. Garcia “is the only Governor able to regularly visit all municipalities and cities within her province, directly consulting her constituents and local leaders.”
The survey covers 6 key performance indicators, namely: leadership and governance; economic development and infrastructure; social welfare and public services; public safety and security; environmental management and sustainability; and public satisfaction and engagement — each highlighting a fundamental element of Gov.

“Despite Cebu’s vast scope, with its 44 municipalities and six component cities, Governor Gwen has consistently engaged with local stakeholders, ensuring that her initiatives and programs are well-coordinated and effectively implemented. Her policies, which frequently result from these grassroots consultations, have received widespread support due to this strong relationship with the community and municipal leaders,” Martinez added.
Martinez noted that this direct and inclusive approach has been vital to Governor Gwen’s success, allowing her to maintain strong backing from her Mayors and constituents.
“It reflects a leadership style grounded in accessibility, responsiveness, and a deep understanding of her province's needs, further solidifying her position as the top-performing Governor in the country,” he said in the report.
