BAWINGAN OUT FOR 3 MONTHS, POKING IN

ADAMS, Ilocos Norte, May 1–Many folks here admired town Mayor Eric Bawingan for taking his 3-month suspension lightly. When his suspension order was served effective yesterday, he readily accepted the SP verdict with smile. He shook hands with Vice Mayor Wagner Poking who took over as OIC mayor of this upland town. SP found him at fault on the charges that he refused to issue clearances for the death claim of his slain municipal treasurer.
