Last year, Compostela Valley had the very good fortune of electing a new governor, Arturo "Chiongkee" Uy, whose priorities are very people-oriented and geared towards a wholistic development of the province. One of the first thing he did after he took office was to do some housekeeping by sprucing up the capitol building and its grounds in Cabidianan. Even if the building was relatively new, many complained that it was garish, buki and an eyesore. It was that way for many years under the previous administration. It now looks very elegant and one which we can all be proud of.

And this is how it looks at night.
The extensive capitol grounds transform into a well-lighted park at night.

Are you aware that Nabunturan is one town --- if not the only town --- in the province which does not have any park?

NOTE: The government center where the provincial capitol stands is located on an 11-hectare lot half of which was donated by the Melendres family of Cabidianan and the Dizon family (yes, of the Dizon Farms).
