DAVAO CITY — To symbolize the gold-rich province of Davao de Oro, outgoing Governor Tyrone Uy gifted incoming Governor Dorothy Gonzaga with a huge gold ring during the turn over ceremony on Thursday June 30, 2011 at Nabunturan National Comprehensive High School Gym.

Gonzaga was caught flat-footed when Uy, who is now serving as the Vice Governor, opened he wooden box on stage and offered her the ring which symbolizes the treasures of their province.

Gonzaga, the former Court of Appeals Justice, won over Uy’s father in the gubernatorial race in the May 9, 2022 local elections.
