New Nueva Ecija town mayor assumes post Artemio Dumlao
BAGUIO CITY , Philippines Mayor Sylvia Austria of Jaen, Nueva Ecija stepped down from her post on Monday following a court ruling affirming the victory of her rival in the 2019 elections.
Officials of the Department of the Interior and Local Government-Central Luzon and Nueva Ecija offices installed Antonio Esquivel, who has been holding office at the treasurer’s office since Dec. 7 after the Gapan City Regional Trial Court (RTC) Branch 87 ruled in favor of his election protest against Austria.
The court nullified Austria’s proclamation and issued a certificate of finality and writ of execution on Dec. 16.
