Quimbo remembers Cua as steadfast ally and principled public servant

Quimbo delivered the eulogy during necrological rites held at the Batasang Pambansa complex, reflecting on a friendship that spanned nearly two decades. The two first met in 2006 at a housing project in Quirino province, a chance encounter that marked the beginning of their enduring political partnership.

According to Quimbo's remarks, Cua maintained his fundamental principles and approachable demeanor even as he advanced through successive elective positions. The Marikina legislator characterized his late colleague as having a playful, mischievous side while remaining steadfast in his political convictions and public service commitments.

Cua's tenure as Quirino governor saw him navigate local governance challenges while maintaining relationships across the political spectrum. Quimbo's tribute underscored the former governor's reputation as someone who balanced pragmatic politics with genuine interpersonal connections among his peers in public office.

The necrological service marked a moment for the legislative community to reflect on Cua's contributions to provincial governance and his legacy within Philippine politics. Colleagues and constituents paid their respects to the departed official whose political career spanned multiple elected positions in his home province.
