House Majority Leader Mannix Dalipe will serve as caretaker of Zamboanga del Norte's 1st District until the election controversy in that congressional district is resolved.
DAPITAN, Philippines – House Majority Leader Manuel “Mannix” Dalipe has been designated as the caretaker of the 1st District of Zamboanga del Norte, ending a four-month leadership vacuum after the Supreme Court stopped Romeo Jalosjos Jr. from assuming the post.
The order means a rewind, and that all acts and rulings made by the Commission on Elections about the electoral dispute between Jalosjos and his rival Roberto Uy Jr. after May 12 cannot be enforced yet. It was unclear why Dalipe was named caretaker when Zamboanga del Norte has two other representatives, Glona Labadlabad of the 2nd District, and Adrian Ian Amatong of the 3rd District.
Their aging father, Manuel Sr., is a former Zamboanga City mayor who once served as a pilot of the late strongman Ferdinand E. Marcos.
