Nila Aguillo
First female mayor of Cabuyao 2004-2007
Nila Garcia Aguillo (February 20, 1949 - November 27, 2022) was a Filipino politician and the first female Mayor that served as the mayor of Cabuyao from 2004 until 2007. She was the wife of former Mayor Proceso D. Aguillo, who served from 1995 to 2004.
Political career
Aguillo successfully ran for mayor of Cabuyao in 2004 as her husband was term-limited. It was during her term when former President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo opened Southville Housing project for poor families displaced from the railway tracks to make way for the SouthRail project. It is a 53.337-hectare (131.80-acre) resettlement site in Barangays Marinig, Niugan and Banay-Banay for families displaced by the PNR Northrail-Southrail Linkage project from the rail tracks in Cabuyao and Makati.
Numerous development projects were accomplished during her three-year term as the first lady mayor of the town. She was instrumental in the construction of school buildings, multi-purpose halls, barangay halls and health centers. She also gave priority on the improvement of the Town Plaza and the only state university of the town, the Pamantasan ng Cabuyao.
However, she decided not to seek reelection in 2007. Her husband instead ran again for mayor but was defeated by incumbent vice mayor Isidro Hemedes Jr.
