      You all will wait a very long time for that. If you think David is bad, compared to her, he is a saint

      Petrona has always been a person who carried herself with respect and dignity - even from school days. But to some of you she’s stuck up. Please. Some minds of the BVI sure are TINY. SMH.

      Do some research before making a comment. Both Dabreo and Davies have vincy connection. They were both born here. Dabreo parents are from St. Vincent, Davies mother is also from St. Vincent but her father from Tola.

    Why is the PS of the deputy premier acting as the deputy governor? Isn't this a conflict of interest of some sort? Father send help.

    There could not be a better candidate for Deputy Governor. Petrona is an empathetic and intelligent individual born and raised in the BVI community. She has served her country for most of her life and has made extensive efforts beyond her career to preserve and promote the culture, history, and identity of the BVI. I hope she stays long time.
