Government and Politics

A new mayor was elected during the May 14, 2007 elections when Ruben Tegui defeated Felixnaldo Alabon, Sr., by winning just 147 votes. His victory ended the reign of the Alabons in the municipality for 15 years. Alabon was elected mayor from 1992-2001. When he reached the maximum of three consecutive terms allowed by the Philippine Constitution, he was replaced by his wife Evelyn in 2001. He was reelected in 2004, defeating Tegui.

In the 2010 General Elections, Tegui was given a fresh mandate when he got an overwhelming majority vote cast.
