Larry Dimayuga was proclaimed as the legitimate barangay chairman of Canlubang, Laguna, after the Comelec overturned his disqualification for premature campaigning. The earlier disqualification led to Mario Jun Cogay’s appointment as officer-in-charge, but he was murdered shortly after his proclamation. Dimayuga took his oath before Calamba City Mayor Ross Rizal and assumed office, while Edgar Mangubat acted as OIC pending resolution of the case. Cogay’s unresolved death highlights political tensions in the barangay. This development concludes a prolonged legal battle over the barangay leadership.
