In City of Nueva Vista, the Municipal Mayor suffers permanent incapacity due to a medical condition two years into a four-year term. The Vice Mayor immediately assumes the office as Acting Municipal Mayor. The City Sanggunian subsequently elects a new Vice Mayor to fill the vacancy in the Vice Mayor’s office. A by-election is scheduled to fill the remainder of the mayor's term. (a) Identify the controlling rule under the Local Government Code on vacancies in elective local offices and who acts as municipal mayor in case of such vacancy. (b) Distinguish between acting (temporary) and permanent vacancy, including when a by-election is required. (c) Apply to the facts: who acts as mayor during the interim? will there be a by-election during the interim? when does the acting capacity end? what is the effect on acts performed by the Acting Mayor during the interim and on third parties dealing with the municipality during the vacancy?

Choose the Best Answer

A by-election to fill the mayor’s seat is optional; the Sanggunian may choose to issue a temporary appointment to the vice mayor; the acting capacity ends when the appointment ends. The Vice Mayor acts as Mayor; upon permanent vacancy, a special election for Mayor is not required if the Sanggunian elects a new Mayor from among its members. The Vice Mayor acts as Mayor, but there is no by-election; the Vice Mayor simply serves the remainder of the term as acting Mayor; the Sanggunian does not elect a new Vice Mayor. The Vice Mayor acts as Mayor for the duration of the permanent vacancy; a by-election is required to fill the remainder of the term; the Sanggunian elects a new Vice Mayor to fill the vice mayor's office vacancy; the acting capacity ends when the winner of the by-election takes oath; acts performed by the Acting Mayor during interim are valid and binding on third parties.
