Mayoralty Row Affects Government Transactions at Iligan City Hall

A mayoralty row has affected government transactions in Iligan City in Lanao del Norte province.

Both Mayor Celso Regencia and Vice Mayor Rudy Marzo are claiming that they are the rightful head of the city, GMA News TV's "Balita Pilipinas Ngayon" reported Monday.

Regencia was slapped with a 60-day suspension by Malacañang for alleged abuse of authority, but got the Court of Appeals to grant his petition for a temporary restraining order against the suspension.

But when the suspension order was issued, Marzo had already taken his oath as acting mayor.
