Mayor
seeks cooperation
of political opponents
BY ROMY AMARADO
Newly proclaimed Mayor-elect Lawrence Teves of Tanjay City expressed confidence that his political opponents and their supporters who may still have clouts in the city government, will eventually cooperate with his administration.
Teves, whose election was questioned by his opponents for alleged irregularities, said his program is beneficial to everybody, there is no reason to derail it.
The camp of mayoralty candidate Neil Salma had protested
the authenticity of 27 election returns in Tanjay. But election officer
Rafael Orillana said the board of canvassers in the city dismissed the
protest. This prompted Salma to bring the issue before the Commission
on Election Manila.
