The Filipino American community in Jersey City, New Jersey hailed the appointment of Eduardo Toloza as a lifetime chief assessor of Jersey City.

“The City Council unanimously approved his appointment. Ed did a great job in the city. When he came to the U.S. in 1981, Ed immediately worked in the City Hall and started as a cashier. Everyone praised his work as he was promoted as chief assessor,” said Jersey City Mayor Jerramiah Healy in a ceremony at Fiesta Grill.

Toloza took his oath of office presided by Healy. Attending the solemn ceremony was his wife, Didi, and their three children.

“I promise to build on the trust. I believe that public service is noble and a necessary cause. I will redouble my efforts by upholding the strongest ethical standards,” said Toloza, who is the first Filipino American to hold the post.

Mariano de Vega called Toloza, his fellow Knight of Rizal, to say, “You made me so proud.”
