The late Bocaue Mayor Eleanor “Joni” Villanueva-Tugna was used to community service when she was in charge of the Jesus is Lord (JIL) Fellowship Ministry’s iCare Ministry at a young age. Joni was really very down-to-earth, no mean bone in her,” JIL member and Bangon Pilipinas volunteer, Andrea Hernandez-Trinidad told the Manila Times. Mayor Joni was relentlessly serving Bocaueños during this lockdown despite her medical condition, which eventually caused her life. She’s more than a public servant to me, she’s my role model. In a Facebook statement, the JIL had called the Bocaue mayor: “An exemplary leader, a pioneer, a trailblazer and woman of vision and action.”
