CREATION AS MUNICIPALITY

While Baleno in business and education has suffered setbacks after World War II, it has experienced a forward stride in its local autonomy. At this juncture, it will be recalled that in 1903, the town of Baleno was made a barrio of Aroroy. On July 18, 1949, by virtue of an executive order no. 244, Baleno with its old environs was made a separate municipality.
Messers Mauro Valdemoro and Isidoro Albao were appointed Mayor and Vice Mayor respectively. Messers Juanito Relova, Gregorio Salivio, Flor Pusing, Pauline Albao and Lupo Morado were appointed councilors. Mr. Digno Candidato was appointed municipal treasurer, Mr, Exequiel Casidsid, chief of police, Atty. Artemio Raborar, Justice of the peace, Mr. Augosto Arco, supervising principal and Dr. Manuel Arevalo, president of sanitary division.
