PALOMPON, Leyte-Two separate inauguration ceremonies were held in this town on June 30.

Conspicuously absent during the oath-taking at Palompon social center were Councilors Jesus Sanchez, Manuel Bertulfo, Brigido Roble and Mesias Arevalo, who are politically aligned with the defeated mayor Marcelo Oñate, attended a separate oath taking at Brgy. San Isidro. Oñate supporters packed the social center at San Isidro, which is composed of their barangay campaign leaders, municipal employees and barangay captains who still refused to cooperate with the new municipal officials.
