Roseller Barinaga

Barinaga, then a vice mayor at that time, was appointed as city mayor by Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos in 1978. He would be removed from the position after the 1986 EDSA People Power Revolution. Not long enough, Barinaga would return to city hall as mayor in 1988 until his resignation in 1998 when he ran and won as representative for the 2nd District of Zamboanga del Norte until 2007. After several failed attempts since the 2007 local elections (with the exception of the 2016 local elections), Barinaga won a seat in the Dipolog City Council placing third overall, making his return to the political limelight after 15 years. ==Honors==
