Nila Aguillo, born Nila Garcia Aguillo in Cabuyao, Laguna, is the first female mayor of Cabuyao[1] who served as Municipal Mayor from 2004 to 2007. She is the wife of former Mayor Proceso D. Aguillo, a three-term mayor who served Cabuyao from 1995 to 2004.
Political career
Aguillo ran as mayor of Cabuyao after her husband finished his term as mayor in 2004. It was during her term when former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo opened Southville Housing project for poor families displaced from the railway tracks to make way for the SouthRail project. The Southville Housing project is a 53.337-hectare resettlement site in Barangays Marinig, Niugan and Banay-Banay for families displaced by the PNR Northrail-Southrail Linkage project from the rail tracks in Cabuyao and Makati City.[2]
Numerous development projects were accomplished during her three-year term as the first lady mayor of the town. She was instrumental in the construction of school buildings, multi-purpose halls, barangay halls and health centers. She also gave priority on the improvement of the Town Plaza and the only state university of the town, the Pamantasan ng Cabuyao.
However, in 2007 local elections, her husband replaced her running again as mayor but later defeated by the current mayor, Isidro Hemedes, Jr..
Election protest
After losing in 2010 mayoral election, Aguillo together with her vice-mayoral bet Benjamin C. del Rosario filed a petition to Commission on Elections, Isidro Hemedes, Jr. and Rommel A. Gecolea declaring for an election protest.
The Court said they failed to establish the alleged fraudulent and irregular acts during voting, counting of votes, and canvassing of results in the May 2010 elections and their petition was dismissed.[3]
Prior to seeking relief with the High Court, Aguillo and del Rosario lost in an en banc decision of the Commission on Elections (Comelec) and in the Laguna Regional Trial Court on June 21, 2010.[3]
