Councilor and Vice Mayor
Morris began his political career as a Councilor of the City of Baguio from 1988-1992. Impressed by his humility, honesty, and genuine service, the people of Baguio elected him Vice Mayor in May 1992. But as destiny willed it, he never served as Vice Mayor. It is because 15 minutes after taking his oath as Vice Mayor, he took his oath as Acting Mayor. He served as Acting Mayor from July 1, 1992 to October 24, 1992, when he assumed as the real city mayor by virtue of the disqualification of then elected mayor Jun Labo, who was disqualified by the Supreme Court due to his being an Australian citizen.
