BRING HOPE TO THE PALOMPONGANONS. Newly -elected Mayor Eulogio "Yoly' Tupa told employees that he will put the welfare of every Palomponganons, a paramount consideration.
PALOMPON, Leyte – The new administration of Mayor Eulogio Tupa started on a sour note after some offices of the municipal hall were ransacked with documents and supplies.
This was confirmed by Sylvia Ursabia, secretary to the mayor who said that all documents inside the steel cabinet of the mayor’s office were missing. Even the telephone directories and office supplies were missing like bond papers and pens. Ursabia said this hampered their operation as they had to start from scratch. “Gihurot man sab nila, wala man gyo’y nahibilin,” she complained.
At the Sangguniang Bayan office, some chairs were missing and the others were vandalized. There was also no stock of office supplies. The service vehicle of Mayor Tupa, a Toyota Revo, was also reported to have been missing with parts and accessories.
Arnel Villarente of the market office described the situation as an act of immaturity. “Kalisod diay kon mapilde kay gub-on man ang mga gamit sa munisipyo, mga gamit nga gipanag-iya sa mga tawo,” he said.
Despite these setbacks, Mayor Tupa was able to accomplish considerably. During his first general meeting with employees of the local government unit (LGU), he ordered Municipal Treasurer Ana Vertudez to release the midyear bonus of LGU workers which his predecessor failed to do. Casual workers from the previous administration were also happy to learn they will not be terminated. Mayor Tupa said he wants to promote reconciliation among his constituents. Vice Mayor Lloyd Surigao said the casuals will remain as long as their services are needed. He also said they don’t want to sacrifice public service in favor of politics.
