The termination took effect on Tuesday and was issued by Arvin C. Ogo, the Rota municipal council vice chairman. “I have no comment on that,” Ayuyu said. Variety called the mayor’s office but was told that the acting mayor was in a meeting.
The chief of staff of the mayor’s office, Efrain Atalig, was not also available for interview. Mayor Melchor Mendiola was off-island and had designated Ogo as the acting mayor.
