GMA attends Chavit's birthday
VIGAN CITY – Barely nine days before bowing out of office, President Arroyo appears busy as ever as she flew here yesterday to attend the 69th birthday celebration of comebacking Ilocos Sur Gov. Luis “Chavit” Singson.
Mrs. Arroyo arrived at Singson’s Baluarte residence at 11:20 a.m. where she presided over the mass oath-taking of local officials headed by Singson.
Among those who participated in the swearing-in ceremony were outgoing Gov. Deogracias Victor Savellano who was elected vice governor, re-electionist Rep. Ronald Singson (first district) incoming Rep. Owen Singson (second district), provincial board members, mayors, vice mayors and councilors of various Ilocos Sur towns.
After the ceremony, the president thanked the officials, mostly partymates in Lakas-Kampi, for their support to her administration. Among the officials present were outgoing House deputy Speaker Eric Singson and outgoing Ilocos Norte Rep. Roque Ablan.
