                            CERTIFICATION PURSUANT TO
                             18 U.S.C. SECTION 1350,
                             AS ADOPTED PURSUANT TO
                  SECTION 302 OF THE SARBANES-OXLEY ACT OF 2002



I, Anthony Q. Joffe, the Chief Executive Officer of Colmena Corp., certify that:

         1. I have reviewed this quarterly report on Form 10-QSB of Colmena
         Corp.

         2. Based on my knowledge, this quarterly report does not contain any
         untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact
         necessary to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances
         under which such statements were made, not misleading with respect to
         the period covered by this quarterly report;

         3. Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial
         information included in this quarterly report, fairly present in all
         material respects the financial condition, results of operations and
         cash flows of the registrant as of, and for, the periods presented in
         this quarterly report;

         4. The registrant's other certifying officers and I are responsible for
         establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as
         defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-14 and 15d-14) for the registrant and
         have:

                  a)       Designed such disclosure controls and procedures to
                           ensure that material information relating to the
                           registrant, including its consolidated subsidiaries,
                           is made know to us by others within those entities,
                           particularly during the period in which this
                           quarterly report is being prepared;

                  b)       Evaluated the effectiveness of the registrant's
                           disclosure controls and procedures and presented in
                           this quarterly report our conclusions about the
                           effectiveness of the disclosure controls and
                           procedures, as of the end of the period covered by
                           this report based on our evaluation.

                  c)       Disclosed in this quarterly report any change in the
                           issuer's internal control over financial reporting
                           that occurred during the period covered by this
                           quarterly report that has materially affected, or is
                           reasonably likely to materially affect, the
                           registrant's internal control over financial
                           reporting; and

         5. The registrant's other certifying officers and I have disclosed,
         based on our most recent evaluation, to the registrant's auditors and
         the audit committee of registrant's board of directors (or persons
         performing the equivalent functions):

                  a)       All significant deficiencies in the design or
                           operation of internal controls which are reasonably
                           likely to adversely affect the registrant's ability
                           to record, process, summarize and report financial
                           information; and

                  b)       Any fraud, whether or not material, that involves
                           management or other employees who have a significant
                           role in the registrant's internal controls over
                           financial reporting.
