History
Long before its formal creation as an independent province, Quirino was the forest region of the province of Nueva Vizcaya, inhabited by tribal groups known as the Negritos. They roamed the hinterlands and built their huts at the heart of the jungle.
Quirino lies in the southeastern portion of Cagayan Valley. It is situated within the upper portion of the Cagayan River basin and bounded by Isabela on the north, Aurora on the east and southeast, and Nueva Vizcaya on the west and southwest.
The Ilocano dialect is used widely in the lowlands of the province’s various municipalities while Ifugao is predominant in the uplands.

Present Administration DAKILA CARLO E. CUA Province of Quirino Governor
Destined to be a leader, the twenty nine year old Vice Governor of the province of Quirino is now prepared for the gubernatorial seat. Born to a family of politicians, his father Junie E. Cua is the incumbent Congressman of the Lone District of Quirino, and his mother, Ma. Angela E. Cua, is a former Congresswoman.
Trained and molded during his two terms as Vice Governor, this young executive and legislator had introduced numerous programs, activities and innovations aimed at cultivating the innate desire of the youth to participate in the development of the province. Believing that “the youth are the hope of the Fatherland” as envisioned by his ancestor, Dr. Jose P. Rizal, Dax Cua championed the welfare and future of the youth of Quirino. He founded the Movement for the Integrated Development of the Youth (MIDY) aimed at developing the holistic well-being of the youth. Leadership trainings, academic contests, Youth In Sync, Vice Governor’s Cup and the recently launched “Iyong Serbisyo, Sagot sa Edukasyon Mo” (ISSEM) scholarship project were among his regular programs.
Dax Cua also regularly conducts outreach medical missions to the barangays giving free health services and medicines, thereby improving the health conditions of the constituents. This young man is also supportive of non-government organizations and civic organizations concerned with human resource and livelihood development of the province.
With his laudable contributions to the province, taking the gubernatorial seat would surely mean more innovative programs and projects geared at developing the province, and more so with his vibrant style of leadership, will surely redound to the improvement of the quality life of his constituents.
