ANTIPOLO CITY – Danilo Leyble, elected vice mayor, was sworn in yesterday as the third mayor of Antipolo City by Interior and Local Government Secretary Ronnie Puno.
"(Everything happens through the will of the Lord. Nothing will happen that is not with God’s blessings. It just happened that God chose me to serve office)," Leyble said.
Leyble said he is assuming the office with mixed feelings because of the untimely demise last Tuesday of Mayor Vic Sumulong who died of multiple-organ failure related to diabetes at the Makati Medical Center.
" (It’s very sad. We were all shocked by what happened. Mayor Sumulong left a big responsibility because I will have to surpass or at least equal what he has done for Antipolo)," Leyble said.
The new mayor said that he is confident of success with the help of local and national officials.
" (I know that we can serve the people well with the help of Secretary Ronnie Puno, Congressman Robbie Puno, Congressman Lito Gatlabayan and the City Council. We will all work together for a progressive Antipolo.)," he said.
Congressman Puno (first district, Antipolo) pledged his full support for Leyble. He said that his congressional office will work closely with City Hall. (Reuel Vidal)
