ILOILO – Mayor Rosario Mediatrix Fernandez of San Enrique vowed to make the League of Municipalities of the Philippines (LMP) Iloilo chapter proactive.
Elected chapter president recently, Fernandez said the league should be more than just a facilitator of mayors’ events and/or gatherings.
“I promise a vibrant, innovative and proactive LMP. It will be a performing LMP. Normally the LMP leadership facilitates conventions and accommodation tapos other government agencies tap it to disseminate information. I believe the LMP is more than that,” said Fernandez.
Fernandez got 20 votes in the recent LMP Iloilo election, two more than her rival Mayor Jett Rojas of Ajuy who got 18.
Forty mayors attended the election held at Casa Real de Iloilo on Aug. 2. Two abstained in the secret balloting.
Fernandez urged mayors to unite and support Gov. Arthur Defensor Jr.

* vice president – Mayor Jett Rojas of Ajuy
