from the column of Atty. Dandan Bantugan in the Bohol Chronicle

              During his weekly Mayor’s Report yesterday morning, the city mayor
hinted that he may take a leave of absence starting next month to give
Vice Mayor Jose Antonio Veloso an opportunity to be at the helm of the
city government.
              As we see it, the city mayor’s leave of absence will also test how his
political detractors, including some sectors in the local media, react
to his absence and compare the leadership of the acting mayor.
              Edgar Bompat, the most ranking city councilor, will also act as
vice-mayor and the number of city councilors will be reduced to only
11. This is another innovative idea of Mayor Lim considering that
October kicks off the last quarter of the current fiscal year.
