Introduction for Mayor Mary Clare Judith Phyllis Niña Jose-Quiambao

MNJQ Intro

Mary Clare Judith Phyllis Jose-Quiambao, or more popularly known as "Niña" Jose-Quiambao, is the very first female Mayor of Bayambang when she got elected in June 2022.  

She is a graduate of Assumption College in Manila, and finished Entrepreneurship in Emerging Economies from Harvard Business School.

Before becoming Mayor, Niña Jose-Quiambao worked as the President of the Local Council of Women of Bayambang. She has spearheaded projects such as the construction of Abong na Aro in Brgy. Wawa which aims to provide a safe haven for women, children, and members of the LGBTQ community who have suffered abuse from family members.

She was also the President of the Agricultural Infrastructure and Leasing Corporation, a private company that has provided jobs to hundreds of workers inside and outside of Bayambang and has boosted the agriculture sector of the municipality by providing modern machineries and equipment for local farmers.

Aside from these, she also served as the President of Kasama Kita sa Barangay Foundation, Inc. and founder of the Niña Cares Foundation. Through these foundations, the Quiambao family quietly served the people of Bayambang by donating to and caring for the needy and vulnerable sectors using private funds.

Niña is known as a devoted, loving, generous, and kind-hearted wife, mother, and friend who goes out of her way to help other people.



Now the Mayor of Bayambang, she promises to continue the Rebolusyon Laban sa Kahirapan, the flagship antipoverty program of former Mayor Cezar T. Quiambao, and to serve as "Ilaw ng Tahanan: Liwanag at Puso ng Bayan."

With her motherly approach to governance, she has endeared herself to the people of Bayambang in so many ways.

Among her own flagship projects are Bali-Balin Bayambang, which aims to make Bayambang into a clean and green place to live in.

She does not tire in thinking of ways to reach out to marginalized sectors to address their concerns, like PWDs, mental health sufferers, teenage pregnant mothers, and rape survivors.

Of course, our local children have a special place in her heart, with numerous surprises for them especially during Christmas, and that is why she has built perhaps the first Japanese anime-inspired mini-theme park in the world outside Japan.

This early, under her watch, her administration has already achieved so many impressive feats. Among this is LGU-Bayambang getting an "unmodified opinion" from the Commission on Audit for the first time in history.

Every aspect of her governance has a string of major awards. Gawad Kalasag three times for disaster resiliency. Compliance in Solid Waste Management. Green Banner in Nutrition. Cities and Municipalities Competitiveness Index. Digital Governance Awards. Good Financial Housekeeping. Anti-Drug Abuse Council Performance Audit. Child-Friendly Local Governance Audit.   ...Among others.

Perhaps the crowning glory of her achievements is having the entire LGU attain ISO 9001:2015 certification.

Ladies and gentlemen, our very own Local Chief Executive, Mayor Mary Clare Judith Phyllis Niña Jose-Quiambao!
