Kalibo, Aklan – In a unanimous and uncontested victory, the Mayors League of Aklan has a new President in the person of the dynamic and the most awarded Local Chief Executive of Kalibo, Raymar A. Rebaldo, who is also the very first mayor from the capital town of Kalibo to occupy the position in an election this 12th of July 2007 at the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) Provincial Office.
With only two mayors from the far off towns of Madalag and Libacao absent, Mayor Rebaldo’s nomination was uncontested while the newly elected Mayor of Ibajay town, Ma. Lourdes “Lulu” Miraflores, Congressman Florencio Miraflores’ wife occupied the Executive Vice Presidency position.
The Mayors League of Aklan decided that there will be a Vice President each to occupy the Western Side and Eastern Side of Aklan where Mayor Elvie Templonuevo of Numancia gets the Eastern Side and Mayor Edgar Peralta of New Washington got the Western Side. The Secretary General is Mayor Dominador Ilio, Jr. of Malinao, Treasurer is Mayor Kathyrine Refol, Victor Fernandez of Lezo as Auditor, and the Press Relations Officer is Mayor Elvie Templonuevo of Numancia. The rest of the mayors automatically become the members of the Board of Directors including those who are not present during the election.
Mayor Rebaldo’s assumption as president of the Mayors League of Aklan will bring more weight in the continuing drive to develop the tourism industry of the capital town with Kalibo Airport receiving seven direct flights a week from South Korea and cultivate an atmosphere where investors and businesses may be encouraged, and also continue to push towards urbanization and citihood.
Meanwhile, Prof. Rommel Banlaoi, the Center Director of the Mayor’s Development Center and a consultant to the League of Municipalities of the Philippines (LMP), is the guest of honor during the election who presented a Power Point Presentation to the Aklan Mayors regarding good governance and the beginnings of the LMP.
