BAGUIO CITY, Philippines – Members of the Ilocos Norte provincial board have meted Pagudpud town Mayor Maja Sales with four-month “vacation” from her post, instead of six-month suspension they earlier had agreed upon, for grave misconduct.

The board members made the decision after Sales appealed her suspension.

The case stemmed from the complaint of Pagudpud resident Allan Vincent Caluya that Sales allegedly abused her powers by appropriating pieces of land that he was contesting. – Artemio Dumlao, Raymund Catindig
