It’s political persecution. This was how Bacolod Lone District Representative Evelio “Bing” Leonardia described the relief of Portia Familiaran, wife of Councilor El Cid Familiaran, as supervisor of the Libertad Public Market. The Bacolod solon said he believes that Mayor Monico Puentevella relieved the councilor’s wife from her post and ordered her to return to her previous position as administrative officer 2 at the General Services Office “due to politics.” “The people would also think that way,” Leonardia claimed. Puentevella had informed Familiaran of her relief though a memorandum order dated August 28, with the mayor designating Cherry Aujero as acting market supervisor effective September 1. This development came following the reports that Portia’s husband will join the lineup of Leonardia for the forthcoming local election. Leonardia claimed that he was not even shocked by Puentevella’s action, claiming that the mayor has been known for his vindictive politics. The solon, however, stressed that it would be better if the Familiarans will present their side on the issue./WDJ By Glazyl Jane Marie Y. Masculino
