Mayors

In case of death, resignation or incapacity, the vice mayor becomes the mayor.

Municipal Mayors (1904-2011)
The years 1999 and 2012 were a transition period to Ilagan cityhood but the former was failed and latter was a huge success.

Vice Mayor Josemarie L. Diaz filled the remainder of the late Mayor Delfinito C. Albano's tenure from 2006 to 2007, when the latter was shot and killed in Quezon City in 2006.

Vice mayors
