ISULAN, SULTAN KUDARAT — Gladly, the town Mayor of Shariff Aguak in Maguindanao accepted the resignation of the Vice Mayor, who happens to be his father.
Mayor Marop B. Ampatuan was happy to accept the resignation of his father, Vice Mayor Datu Akmad Mitra Ampatuan, who cited his health problem as the reason for leaving his post.
