In the midst of a tremendous presence of supporters and constituents of the newly-elected officials of the province of Cebu…at the fully-packed crowd at the Capitol Social Hall, a momentous event happened on June 30. Yes, the big event was the formal oath taking of Governor-elect Hilario “Junjun†Davide III, Vice Governor-elect Agnes Magpale and some new and re-elected members of the Provincial Board.
No less then Department of Interior and Local Government Secretary Manuel “Mar†Roxas administered the oath taking. Members of the immediate families who took their oath of office joined them on stage and witnessed the oath taking ceremonies. A lot of new and re-elected Mayors of the province were also present to be part of the celebration.
Very conspicuously noticed were prominent politicians who came to witness the event like former Congressman Tommy Osmeña, newly-elected 1st District Congressman Samsam Gullas, South District Congressman Bebot Abellanosa, comebacking Congressman from the North District Raul del Mar, Councilor Margot Osmeña with sis-in-law Minnie Osmeña, former Chief Justice Hilario Davide Jr. and family. Of course, Governor Junjun’s better half Jobel and their families were very much present… not to mention the hordes of politicians from the province of Cebu. A thanksgiving Mass was celebrated before the oath taking ceremonies.
