Lawyer Charmalou Aldevera is the newest director of the Davao City Water District (DCWD), replacing lawyer Eliseo Braganza Jr. who finished his term in December last year.
Aldevera took her oath of office before Mayor Rodrigo R. Duterte on December 29, 2014 at the Kingdom of Jesus Christ Compound in Buhangin and submitted her oath of office to DCWD chair Eduardo A. Bangayan during DCWD’s Board meeting last January 8 at the Board Room of DCWD Matina office.
Aldevera, daughter of the late Charlemagne Aldevera who was a DCWD director until his death on May 4, 2014, will serve from January 2015 until December 2020.
She currently chairs the DCWD committees on Bids and Awards and Engineering and Technology and is the vice-chair of the committees on Special Projects and Legal.
Aldevera attended the first monthly convocation on January 5 and told the employees that coming to DCWD “feels like coming home.”
She said she had similarities and differences with her father and asked for the patience of the DCWD staff and time to learn the ropes.
“This is a totally new environment. This is a totally new job for me. Tagai ko ug gamay na pasensiya. I will be asking a lot of questions, makulitan man mo nako, pasensiyahi lang. Sooner or later I will learn. Pero dili nato kahinanglan dali dalion,” she said.
Aldevera took up her undergraduate degree in BS Accountancy at the Ateneo de Davao University and finished her law degree from the Ateneo de Davao Law School, taking her oath as lawyer on May 3, 2004.
A lawyer by profession, she is currently a partner of the Aldevera Law Office.
Aside from DCWD, she also serves as a member of the Board of Directors of the Maa Slaughterhouse Management Board and, until December last year, was a member of the People’s Law Enforcement Board.
Her affiliation also extends to being a member of the Children’s Joy Foundation, Inc., Bankerohan Livestock Dealers Cooperative, and Sigma Tau Mu sorority. She is also a proprietary member of the Apo Golf and Country Club in the city. Jovana T. Duhaylungsod
