                “As City Vice Mayor, it was truly an honor to act as a presiding officer during the City Council meeting at the session hall. Facilitating the entire session and ensuring that the meeting flowed smoothly were some of my major responsibilities,” said Gaviola.

                Gaviola added that’s he truly is grateful for the full support he gained from his classmates and adviser during the foot parade from the Old Iloilo Provincial Capitol to the New City Hall and throughout his service for the said position.

                Gaviola is also the Student Council President of Colegio de las Hijas de Jesus for the year 2019-2020 and the staff writer of the FLAME Publications for SY 2015-2016, Managing Editor for SY 2018-2019, and Editor-in-Chief for SY 2019-2020.
