GENERAL SANTOS CITY – Tension gripped the town of Pandag, Maguindanao del Sur on Thursday afternoon after a group led by Gov. Mariam Sangki-Mangudadatu barged into the municipal hall, apparently to eject acting Mayor Zihan Mangudadatu from office.
After grabbing Zihan’s phone, Sangki-Mangudadatu apparently wanted to hit her with it but a bodyguard stopped her.A scuffle then ensued between the two camps. Balayman took his oath of office before Sangki-Mangudadatu a few days after the court issued the ruling in his favor. Balayman had filed cases of usurpation of authority, grave misconduct, usurpation of authority and graft against Sinarimbo for “not honoring” the court order.
He claimed that aside from taking Zihan’s phone, Sangki-Mangudadatu’s bodyguards also allegedly took the two bags of her wife.
