Villar on Boncodin

Emy is a great loss to our government and society. She exemplified the highest standards of public service and leadership amid most trying times.

In pursuing reforms, Emy was forthright and firm while remaining low-key and modest, earning the trust and admiration of her fellow civil servants.

After her stint in government, she chose to continue to serve as an educator, sharing her expertise in good governance.

She will truly be missed.
