Castro Cornejo first received the oath from the hands of his first alderman Elías Ramos; after that, he asked to receive the ribbon and medal that distinguishes him as mayor of Huancavelica from his mother, Mrs. Jacinta Cornejo, who publicly asked him to do a good job.
“Toribio, my son, I put this medal on you, so that you govern in the name of God”, was the mother’s simple but significant message to the Huancavelican burgomaster.
