	KNOW ALL MEN BY THESE PRESENTS, that the undersigned, Cesar

acknowledge, deliver and file Forms 3, 4, and 5 and amendments
thereto with respect to securities of OFG Bancorp (the
"Company"), required to be filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission, national securities exchanges, and the
Company in accordance with Section 16(a) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules and regulations thereunder,
granting unto said attorneys-in-fact  full power and authority
to perform all acts necessary to be done to complete such
purposes.

	The undersigned acknowledges that the foregoing attorneys-
in-fact, in serving in such capacity and on the behalf of the
undersigned, are not assuming nor is the Company assuming, any
of the undersigned's responsibilities to comply with, or any
liability for the failure to comply with, any provision of
Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act. The undersigned
agrees that the attorneys-in-fact herein, may rely entirely on
information furnished orally or in writing by the undersigned,
my brokers, the Company or any employee, officer or
representative of the Company or any of its subsidiaries to such
attorneys-in-fact. The undersigned also agrees to indemnify and
hold harmless the Company and the attorneys-in-fact against any
losses, claims, damages, or liabilities, (or actions in these
respects) that arise out of or are based upon any untrue
statement or omission of necessary facts in the information
provided by the undersigned to the attorneys-in-fact for
purposes of executing, acknowledging, delivering or filing Forms
3,4 or 5 (including amendments thereto) and agrees to reimburse
the Company and the attorneys-in-fact herein for any legal or
other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with
investigating or defending against any such loss, claim, damage,
liability or action.
