CALLING FOR A SPECIAL ELECTION TO FILL THE EXISTING VACANCY IN THE OFFICE OF MAYOR, MUNICIPALITY OF LA PAZ, PROVINCE OF LEYTE.

Whereas, the election for the office of mayor of
the municipality of La Paz, Province of Leyte, held on November 13, 1951,
resulted in a failure to elect, the person receiving the highest number of
votes for said office during the said election and proclaimed as mayor having
been declared ineligible to hold the said office.

Now, therefore, by virtue of the authority
conferred upon me by section 22 of Republic Act No. 180, known as the Revised
Election Code, in relation to section 21(c) of the same code, I, Elpidio
Quirino, President of the Philippines, do hereby proclaim and call a special
election in the municipality of La Paz, Province of Leyte, to take place on
Tuesday, the twenty-ninth day of December, nineteen hundred and fifty-three,
for the purpose of electing the mayor who is still to fill the unexpired
portion of the term of office of mayor of said municipality.

The provisions of the Revised Election Code
insofar as they are applicable shall be followed in the conduct of the special
election herein called.

In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand
and caused the seal of the Republic of the Philippines to be affixed.

Done in the City of Manila, this 28th day of
November, in the year of Our Lord, nineteen hundred and fifty-three, and of the
Independence of the Philippines, the eighth.
