Legislative record

How legal statuses are labeled

In the News

Reports from established newsrooms and official records that name this official in a case, investigation, audit or controversy. Each item links to the original. Being named in the news is not proof of wrongdoing; check the legal records above for the official status of any case.

No reviewed news items yet.

Pulse check

Do you approve of how Edwin Quiminales is doing the job?

Pulse check, not a scientific survey: anyone can vote once per device and change their vote any time. It shows how site visitors feel, not public opinion as a whole, and says nothing about any case or allegation.

Elected in the 2023 barangay & SK elections (DILG directory). Matched by last name only within Eastern Samar; a common surname is very likely to include unrelated families. The list above shows only the punong barangay and SK chairs.

A surname bloc is officials elected in one province who carry the same surname as last or middle name; barangay & SK officials with the same last name are listed separately. Shared names may not mean kinship, and a bloc is not evidence of wrongdoing. Definition and data:BetterGov.ph Dynasties

Campaign promises

No campaign promises tracked yet

Promises are added with the date, source, and responsible office. They are only marked “Completed” when there is documentary evidence, never based on campaign statements alone.

COA audits of the LGU during their term

Commission on Audit results for Mercedes in years Edwin Quiminales was mayor for the whole calendar year. COA audits the local government unit, not the official.

2024
Qualified opinion

COA says an audit opinion is not a rating, score or grade and should not be ranked. It covers whether the financial statements are fairly presented — it is not a finding of wrongdoing. Sources & method →

Awards & achievements

No awards or achievements recorded yet

Each achievement is classified as an official award, a public recognition, an independently verified accomplishment, a self-reported achievement, or a campaign claim. Campaign materials are never treated as independent evidence.

Performance

Public Accountability & Performance Index

A transparent composite of measurable public-service indicators. It does not measure personal integrity, and unproven allegations are never used as a penalty. Weights are demonstration settings you can change.
