Myrna Lardizabal de Vera: Councilmember, City of Hercules, California
In the June 2010 edition of the Cebu-Davao glossy magazine, ZEE Lifestyle, the conclusion of my article about Myrna Lardizabal de Vera, my younger sister, quoted her as saying: “I believe that every woman is a citizen leader. She listens, she facilitates, and she arbitrates.
