Churumba

Rafael Cordero Santiago (October 24, 1942 – January 17, 2004), better known as "Churumba", was the Mayor of Ponce, Puerto Rico from 1989 to 2004. Many considered him as a synonym of Ponce, being baptized as the Greatest Lion (or, El León Mayor in Spanish) in reference to the city's official symbol, the Lion. Mayor Cordero was a firm believer in the government decentralization process.
