Hon. Humerlito A. Dolor - Outstanding Governor for 2021

Oriental Mindoro’s dynamic and proactive young governor has been known to have a penchant for making history and paving new paths for others to follow, with a string of record firsts tucked neatly under his professional belt.
Humerlito Atienza Dolor, popularly known in the province as “Bonz” began his political journey as SK Chairman of barangay Adrialuna in Naujan in 1992, which paved the way to three decades of distinguished public service.
He was elected SK Provincial Federation President in 1996, thus becoming an Ex-Officio Member of the Sangguniang Panlalawigan of Oriental Mindoro.
At 24, he became the youngest Board Member ever to be elected in the province. And a day after he turned 30 in November 2007, he was elected National Chairman of the Provincial Board Members League of the Philippines.
In May 2010, at the age of 33, he made history when he became the youngest elected Vice Governor of Oriental Mindoro, then again in his second term bid in 2013, as the only Vice Governor of the province to run unopposed.
The May 2016 elections made him the only Vice Governor of Oriental Mindoro to serve 3 straight terms-an undeniable testament to his commitment to good public service and his dedication to transformational leadership.
In the 2019 midterm elections, he once again made local political history by posting a resounding landslide win as the province’s new Governor. His win is a convincing statement that Oriental Mindoreños are very much ready for true and meaningful change.
What most people thought impossible, Gov. Bonz proved possible, after 213,312 Mindoreños collectively shouted, “Ito ang gusto ko!” in 2019, Gov. Bonz gave his all, and proved that, yes, “lahat posible.”
