Atty.Boen Dorotheo Cabahug

Undoubtedly, the man to watch in the political firmament of Aurora town at the moment is a lawyer, who has been actively practicing his profession since he became one in 2001.

Atty. Cabahug is the Liberal Party’s official candidate for town mayor of Aurora and the son of incumbent, unbeaten and long-time Aurora town political kingpin, Mayor Enrique J. Cabahug.

A first timer as candidate, politics is not new to Atty. Cabahug, who was always in the thick of the fight every time his father and mother, BonemarCabahug, who had also served as mayor of Aurora were running for office. His involvement in those political exercises either as a planner or implementor of his father’s political strategies enabled him to have a good rapport with his father’s leaders, who have unanimously endorsed him as his father’s replacement for the 2013 midterm elections. Young and handsome, this soft spoken and sincere political new fight has a long way to go to reach his full stardom in politics. However, in the local politics of Aurora, people are saying Boen’s star is now twinkling in his hands. 

A Blissful Christmas in Pagadian City

Pagadian City – Mayor Samuel S. Co, serving his last term and celebrating his last Christmas as the city’s hizzoner gave his all to make the city’s Christmas celebration meaningful and surrounded by festivities amid an atmosphere of liveliness and carefree as throngs of visitors from neighbouring towns and cities and even provinces are expected to come and have a view of city’s famous and upgraded dancing fountain; that now blows fire as multi-colored water jets towards the sky.

         

The mayor feels it is the best way to make people, victimized by the financial scam which operated in the city forget the traumatic incident and move on. It is also a way to express the Pagadianon’s gratitude to the Almighty for sparing the city from the devastation brought about by natural calamities that hit and ravaged other places in the country.
