BACOLOD City Councilor El Cid Familiaran and his daughter, Barangay 13 chief Tanya Familiaran, took their oaths as new members of the Liberal Party during a convention held at Nature's Village in Talisay City.
Heading the convention were President Benigno Aquino, Senator Franklin Drilon, Department of Transportation and Communications Secretary Mar Roxas and House Deputy Speaker Representative Erin Tanada. The convention was made possible through the efforts of LP provincial chair Representative Albee Benitez (3rd district, Negros Occidental). Councilor Familiaran said they joined the party, as his political principles, policy direction and beliefs have jibed with that of the Liberal Party. He disclosed that since he joined politics in 1989, it was his first time to join a national party. His father, the late Beneldez Familiaran, was also an LP member in the 1950s. The elder Familiaran was closely associated with Teddy Aritao, Juan Araneta and lawyer Remache Parreño. His local political party was the inactive Partido Pagla-um sg Banwa formed by the late Negros Occidental Governor and Bacolod City Mayor Alfredo Montelibano Jr. Familiaran is due for re-election. He hoped that his membership with the LP will help him achieve his political goal come 2013. Carla N. Canet Sun Star Bacolod
