Iligan City – On January 30, 2017, Iligan City Mayor  Celso Regencia was acquitted and released from imprisonment and went directly to attend the flag raising ceremony at the amphitheater Iligan City Hall, buhanginan hill, this city. The audience who are mostly government employees welcomed the Mayor with tears full of sentiments.

Regencia actively visited key places around the City to observe and assess the situation. On February 6 flag raising ceremony Mayor Regencia in his message said he highlighted his observations and assessments, and specifically asked the City Council to amend traffic ordinance to assign night shift traffic enforcers in those key places during night time to ensure smooth traffic flow.

With regards to the Administrative issues, Mayor Regencia said that he will review and take appropriate action pertaining to the 105 appointees of former Iligan City Vice Mayor Ruderic Marzo during his acting capacity as Mayor of Iligan City last year. The Civil Service Commission (CSC) upon the inquiry with the Department of Interior Local Government (DILG), Region X disapproved the appointment of Carla, Mila and Orlando due to lack of authority considering that the DILG Region X did not categorically state the actual tenure of Vice Mayor Reduric Marzo as the acting City Mayor of Iligan City.
