The GOOD

• APPROACHABLE
• He is well known as a member of the public. He laughs, he drinks he walks and talks as a regular person. You will never feel inferior whenever he talks with you. He will say "po" whenever you approach him or call him. His bodyguards are not so visible like other politicians. 
• HONEST
• Most of the politicians worldwide whenever interviewed on TV, and on the radio they usually have a script or they negotiate to the interviewer of the questions to ask them. But Gov. Joey Salceda is way too different from them. He does his homework and if he is unsure about it he will actually tell it to them intelligently.
• CARING
• He has the heart of a mother. He cares about his people. He believes in "prevention is better than cure" concept. He actually cancels offices, schools and other transactions ahead of time to prevent casualties in the entire province of Albay.
• DEDICATED
• It is "rain or shine" for him. He will go out there and never fail the people that expects him. He will give his best to talk to everyone may it be a formal event or a casual event.
• INNOVATOR and TRANSPARENT
• His dedication to serving the public he makes use of the social media to give fresh updates and even weather updates daily and more often his whereabouts. He is a friend of everybody on Facebook in the Albay province. He is the proponent to update the local government site to a more attractive you can visit this link albay.gov.ph.

The BAD

• PEOPLE MIGHT MISINTERPRET HIS ACTIONS
• Since he was a politician people might misinterpret him to some of his actions. It is in his nature that he talks to people very casually.
• DILIGENT
• His hard work makes it worse because there are moments that he forgot to take care of his health. Even if he is not feeling well he will really get up and serve the people. He will do everything to serve.
